Somethings to reflect on
- We are losing the essential skills that are passed from father to son as we are more and ore being raised by women - this can lead to us learning unsuitable methods for later life
- "Whatever is focal is causal" - we make it disproportionality important
- "We evolved sharing stories so if it's not worth sharing stories about then it's not culturally significant"
- An adventure should bring about growth - you should be a better person at the end of it but take calculated risks!
- Not everyone will have the same tolerance for risk and adventure but to grow and develop as a person, you need to work outside of your comfort zone, to live an entertaining and fulfilling life
- You should be chasing small goals to build a strong success feedback loop to help you achieve the next challenge - start small and build, find that comfort line and step over it
- "Your brain is wired for novelty" - Look at your missions and the constraints you set on it, challenge yourself to interact differently regardless if you are somewhere new or your local pub
- Build a community, not a network - make strong connections with one another
- What community do you care about that you would like to bring together?
