04 - Friday Finds
truthful conversation, chasing dopamine, power...
Hello Beautiful Humans!
Can you believe it's already Friday? I don't know about you, but I've got that Friday feeling and I'm ready to dive into some exciting stuff.
In this issue we’re delving into some fascinating personalities who've dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of human nature. Lot of exciting wisdom on power, ambition, humility and moderation. So, without further ado, let's jump right into the juicy stuff and soak up all that these incredible minds have to offer
Key Takeaways
You can have a position of power but you yourself are not very powerful. Power is inner quality. It’s a sense of control over yourself and your emotions.
People say it’s just who I am, but you're never exactly being who you are. You're always in some ways crafting your words and your persona and how you present yourself depending on the people you're dealing with. Just make sure you do it at conscious level.
Time is all you have. Resist the urge to respond to trivial annoyances. Time lost can never be regained.
Favorite Highlights
Being - what you are; who you are; what characters you exhibit etc
Doing - what you do for yourself, family, and others.
Having - what you accumulate in this life - not just tangible things like money, car, and house but also intangible things like fame, network.
Be ambitious in being and doing but content in having.
Why You Should Check Her Out?
She explores the depth of human nature, purposeful living and creativity in her essays that go out once a week.
I love the way she articulates the thoughts of Carl Jung and Epictetus, shining a spotlight on the philosophical questions that we all have running in the back our mind.
I’ll be reading her book - The Pluri Society (171 notes on what it means to grow into yourself)
