Shawn Blanc of The Sweet Setup has an interesting perspective on matrixed approach to getting back on track: “If you’re feeling overwhelmed, then perhaps you feel as though you have been given too much. In fact, you’ve been given so much that you’re to the point of feeling buried and drowning beneath a huge mass of stuff — from urgent issues, undone tasks, incoming requests of your time and energy, and more. As a result, you feel overpowered and defeated.” Go to the Source: The Ownership Matrix (What to Do When You’re Overwhelmed) – The Sweet Setup

Expectations – we all have them. Whether it’s about our personal relationships, careers, or even daily routines, expectations shape the way we perceive and navigate the world. They can provide us with direction and motivation, but they can also have a dark side. In this blog post, we will explore the dangers of expectations and how they can hold us back from reaching our full potential.
“There is always a linkage between the inner journey of contemplation and our ability to work against violence in the world, in our culture, and in ourselves. As long as we bring to our actions a violence that primarily exists within ourselves, nothing really changes. The future is always the same as the present. That’s why we have to change the present.” Source: Nonviolence Begins Within
“Like the mechanical advantage, today AI has become our cognitive advantage…
The technological implications of this cognitive revolution are significant. As AI becomes increasingly entwined with human cognition, it’s shifting from being a mere tool of convenience to a crucial partner in our cognitive explorations and manifestations.
AI is enhancing our cognitive abilities, enabling us to construct digital realities through sheer thought. Today, we (and technology) have reached a point where mere verbal prompts can yield hyper-realistic images and videos.
Such technological breakthroughs do not just represent an augmentation of human cognition; they are a testament to the paradigm shift in our understanding of the relationship between thought and reality.” Source: AI as Cognitive Partner: A New Cognitive Age Dawns
I don’t know why, but every time I watch this clip I weep. “Tell me I’m a good man. Tell me I’ve lived a good life.” Isn’t this all every man wants to hear?

“Devil’s Lake State Park is a state park located in the Baraboo Range in eastern Sauk County, just south of Baraboo, Wisconsin. It is around thirty-five miles northwest of Madison, and is on the western edge of the last ice-sheet deposited during the Wisconsin glaciation.[2] The state park encompasses 9,217 acres (3,730 ha),[3] making it the largest in Wisconsin.[4] The state park is known for its 500-foot-high (150 m) quartzite bluffs along the 360-acre (150 ha) Devil’s Lake, which was created by a glacier depositing terminal moraines that plugged the north and south ends of the gap in the bluffs during the last ice age approximately 12,000 years ago. The sand at the bottom of Devil’s Lake is thought to be deposited by glaciers.

There are many quartzite rock formations, such as Balanced Rock and Devil’s Doorway, throughout the park. Effigy mounds are also located throughout the park. The park contains approximately eleven miles of the 1,200-mile (1,900 km) Ice Age Trail.[5] Its scenic beauty, along with its proximity to the Wisconsin Dells, has made it one of the most popular of Wisconsin’s state parks for both day use and overnight camping; the park receives over three million visitors annually.[6] During the fall, the park’s brilliant foliage makes it a popular attraction. Parfrey’s Glen, Wisconsin’s first state natural area, is managed by the Devil’s Lake State Park and located just east of the park.” Go to the source to learn more: Devil’s Lake State Park (Wisconsin) – Wikipedia
While hiking here Saturday I realized that my first trip here was exactly 50 years ago with my family of origin and my best friend from high school. Some 35 years later, I brought my own family here.

This past weekend, I was able to share the experience again with a beautiful friend. I’m so grateful that this place as been a part of my life that long and that I was able to share it with her as well. I think I will file that under ‘saving the best for last’…
