infinite-different-versions-of-you-sonder
1. Different Versions of You  In the book “One, No One and One Hundred Thousand” (Original Italian: Uno, Nessuno e Centomila), the main character is struck with a sudden, haunting epiphany:  Inside the imagination of every person he comes across exists a different version of himself—a version that’s a mismatch of his own self-image.  He realizes “he” was only “him” to himself.

Security vs Freedom: Which is Your Greatest Value?

Freedom vs Security

Walking the Turtle (Or Slowing Down But Moving Faster)

There I was, cruising along the slippery neighbourhood sidewalks of the Canadian small town suburbs, trying to avoid face-planting into a patch of black ice. Pulling me along was my freak on a leash, Ginger: an uber happy, hyperdetermined golden retriever puppy with a floppy tongue and an urge to explore. I was dog sledding sans sled.

dont-get-caught-hamster-wheel-making-money
It can be dangerous to get caught on the hamster wheel of chasing money. It’s the liberation you get from business that allows you to experience life in a richer way, whatever that means to you personally. It’s not strictly about making money.
