“What weapon will slay the dragon? Whatever weapon is in my hands.”
A few weeks ago, we started keeping an Insight Log inside The Path:
A special section where our members share short, quick-hitting insights, quotes, and ideas as they come to mind throughout the day.
It is absolutely popping off.
Here’s a peek at a few of my favorite insights from the past week:The Real Value of Small Talk
shared by Adan Maldonado
“Small talk is basically a short ritual that allows your nervous system to regulate in the presence of another human before you can begin to open up.”The Ultimate Problem-Solving Frame
shared by me
“None of this is a problem, and solutions are abundant.”
The ultimate functional-and-accurate problem-solving frame; applies to damn near everything.
Let it permeate your mind until you feel it in your energy.Simon’s Insights

“What weapon will slay the dragon? Whatever weapon is in my hands.”
“A man may fulfill the object of his existence by asking a question he cannot answer, and attempting a task he cannot achieve.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
“Perhaps happiness is separate from wanting and not wanting.”Feeding Your Awareness
shared by Callum Suttie
“The more you feed into your awareness the less it can focus on anything; the less you feed into your awareness the sharper and more clear it becomes.”The Shrinking Brain
shared by me, via. Chris Williamson
“The human brain, after growing for millions of years, has begun shrinking over the last ten thousand years.
Such shrinkage is consistent with increased cultural innovation, which allows more people to survive even if they’re not particularly bright.
They can get away with not coming up with the best answers but simply copying what most other people are doing.” – Rob Henderson & Michael MuthukrishnaThere are many more, of course, inside The Path — these are just a few that resonated for me this past week.
I hope you enjoy, and benefit.

The Fork In The Road
“If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” – Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
What is the state of your internal world, right now?
Do you feel clear, centered, and strong?
Or do you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and cloudy?
The only right answer is the truth, so turn your attention inwards and take a look.
If you feel clear, centered, and strong — bueno.
Carry on.
However:
If you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, cloudy, whiny, cranked, wanked, or otherwise janked…
…My next question for you is this:
Is that state productive, for you?
Is frustration helping you make progress?
Is overwhelm helping you gain clarity?
Is whining about the problem helping you solve the problem?
Is staying janky helping you get un-janky?
Sit with that for a moment, because we’ve reached a fork in the road.
For many, the question alone will crank their jank to new levels of wank, and send them spinning down the side of the road that leads, effectively, nowhere.
(“mrrahhh I’ll be janky if I damn well wanna be!!!”)
Those people are not serious about self-mastery.
They’re also probably not reading this right now, which means you, dear reader, took the side of the road that actually leads somewhere.
So good for you.
On that side of the road sits a big, glowing stop sign with an arrow in front of it and the solution to your problem behind it.
Beneath the arrow, clearly marked, are the words:
Baggage stays here.
The moral of the story?
Our disturbance about a problem does not help solve the problem.
Let go of the disturbance, and the solution appears.

A sneaky little law…
There’s this law. It’s a sneaky law.
It governs how people see you. How they perceive you and how you carry yourself.
It is infectious. It’s almost impossible to not feel the same way as any person who is using this sneaky little law.
Neurologists have proven it…
People who have talked about this sneaky little law, have only touched the surface.
The interesting thing about this sneaky little law is…
It overrides everything they taught you as you grew up.
You’ve may have heard friends, family and professionals say that you need to keep hydrated.
Eat healthy. Get 8 hours of sleep to be you. To be functional. To be healthy and normal.
Hell. If you look at what’s going on in the world right now.
What is normal?
And even though I’m not saying those things aren’t important because they are.
What I’m saying is that this sneaky little law doesn’t need you to follow the above.
You can activate it with ease and it’s fun and once you start using it daily.
You won’t believe the level of confidence that will radiate out from you.For now though. I’m getting ahead of myself.
I’ve been knee deep in the research phase of this sneaky little law.
I’ve been glued to papers, books and lectures on it.
So now I’m just trying to make sure I haven’t lost my mind.
I’ll share more about it soon.
For now though…
I’m going to vanish off into the night and play with this sneaky little law again…
Stephen Walker.
P.S. This is not a euphemism but it is fun. Very fun.
