When Twitter tells me what's trending, I don't trust it.

When I see "trending," I hear "this is what we want you to focus your attention on today."

Waiting for Twetch to produce a trustworthy mechanism for observing trends.

From an article I wrote with @2956 on TAKING A WALK AS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT: https://t.co/dA4c67cTiH

The simple act of taking a walk creates a bridge from busyness to stillness that allows us to penetrate the depths of our mind without disregarding our inclination to “do something.”

In this way, walking is like a mantra for the body.

Wow. Thank you @2. Very generous of you.

The fastest way to run OUT of ideas is to stop running WITH ideas.

Ideas are like people:

If you never do anything with them, they won't be there for you when you need them.

Yes. When you drop the need to be saint in someone else's story, you are then free to become the clown of your own circus.

Pursuing integrity as a status symbol is very different from practicing integrity as a way of life.

Virtual signaling ≠ Character building

The only way to become a saint is by giving up your need to be thought of as a saint.

Seeking sainthood is a trap.

When you become obsessed with being seen as a noble or heroic person, you become a slave to the unyielding demands of a whimsical world.

If you need to be canonized or crowned, you’re guaranteed to become somebody’s clown.

Knowledge is a set of directions.

Wisdom is a sense of direction.

This was a lot of fun, ya'll. I'm looking forward to the next round.

A decent answer puts the question to rest.

A good answer makes the question come alive.

A great answer transforms the question into a seed that eventually sprouts into a self-pollinating flower of curiosity.

Lol. Now I'm conflicted. Should qe call ourselves "The 4 Numpties" or "The 4 Moronic Children"

If that's the right answer. And you're right...sometimes it's a perfect response. But sometimes, it's more profitable and satisfying to simply make them feel seen in a way that dissolves the problem without self-compromise.

You might be the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of Twetch.

I have 594 Twetches.

I need 6 to get to 600.

If I don't get to 600 within the next 60 seconds, I will retire from all social media posting forever.

I need to make some clutch Twetch baskets.

Let's goooooo.

I'm officially in the 600 Twetches club.

@4 Can we have all-time Twetch stats like the NBA? It could be fun to shoot for milestones.

When you accept the fact that life isn't designed to be "fair" and that you're not entitled to success, you've liberated yourself from the very mindset that holds you back from being your best.

Sometimes looking like the idiot in someone else's story is the price you gotta pay to be the hero of your own.

Is the customer always right?

Absolutely not,

but...the decision to listen and learn from them is.

You're never going to win if your definition of success requires you to convince your customers that they're wrong.

You don’t need to feel guilty in order to see an opportunity for growth.

Never let “But, I did my best” become a substitute for “I can learn to do better.” 

Resolving to improve doesn’t have to be equated with repenting for evil.

Every failure to satisfy a customer’s needs is a lesson on how to get better at the work you do.

Even if you don’t think you did anything wrong, you can always improve your ability to serve people more effectively.

What goes around still comes around, but sometimes it comes in a roundabout way.

You can't expect to get your conviction from fans, followers, customers, etc.

You have to generate conviction from within.

It starts with you and what makes you come alive.

Everything else will be a response to that.

Reduce the size of your fear by reducing the size of your first step.

Courage increases with competence.

The better you get at something, the bolder you'll feel about doing it.

At every moment, you’re ready for some things and not ready for others.

But you always have a level of readiness that you can act on NOW.

Don't wait until you're ready.

Make yourself more ready over time by putting what you already know into action.
