Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.
In the startup world there are only a few names that talk also about the family time.
In the past we have been used to seeing great founders with no family at all, or with a family left behind.
Now many things are changing and some companies even talk about “family”, paternity leave, and so on.
It’s a great thing, I hope it will evolve further because before being founders, entrepreneur, we are human beings.
This is such a powerful quote from Brenè Brown, an author that I personally admire for the work she has done.
Aside from being a successful TED speaker, Brenè also studied one of the shadies places in human emotions: Shame and vulnerability.
I often refer to her teachings because vulnerability is so powerful and useful to grow that I always think it should be taught in college.
Yesterday I listened to the Tim Ferriss podcast and she was there presenting her new book, Rising Strong.
Listening again to her reminded me of the value of vulnerability and the price you pay for that.
It reminded me of this powerful guideline
“Choose courage over comfort”
So, how did my august went?
First of all, it was my first and only month where I constantly updated this blog. Small task, I know, but it worked out.
Bad news is that I skipped yesterday. Totally forgot about it.
This makes me think that it’s best if I do it first thing in the morning instead that during the day, otherwise I always find myself trying to find the time.
One of longest the posts I wrote talks about change and how can we really to to change
another is about feelings that should not be hidden.
Checking back the post is also a great way to realize what’s been on my mind during this month.
For example I discussed a couple of times about the news (both the bad news and the tv news).
Or I talk about the value of your time (concluding it’s you can “just do it“) and then read a wonderful post from Jason Fried about time vs attention which kinda changed my whole perspective.
All in all, a beautiful month.
I find it easy to blame it on myself when things go wrong and I’m the main culprit.
I guess many people do this way.
What fascinates me is that my mind goes round and round and start thinking about things like “can we really learn from our errors?”
Having written 2 days ago about this same topic I feel this is a bit of a failure, but I can’t stop thinking that yes, we can learn from failure, but learning is hard and takes time.
Come on, give me the chills
