If only I could ask Seth's all those questions that would help me find out the things he believes in.

That it's kind of amusing that I was ready to stop reading 'The Dip' and then I come across the pronoun of Seth's ideal reader.

Maybe it's not across all books and even if this would be what Seth does all his life...that he doesn't really speak out for when women are immediately dismissed in conversations....I still think it would make a difference. Because one change in one area...done consistently? Equals big change!

Because he has Debbie Millman's stamp of approval, I could assume that this guy is far from a mysoginist. That if he does end up slipping, it is likely that he will listen to the woman who noticed his behaviour.

Summer Inspirations Part 4: Debbie Millman's "The Remarkable Life Deck"

Goal setting has long been a practice that I have used in my creative and academic careers as well as my personal life—I have big goals, little goals and all sorts in between. I write them down, I revise them regularly and I break them down into actionable tasks, (Thanks to skills I learned in James Clear’s Atomic Habits). Alongside my goal-setting practice I use affirmations (every single day!)…

December ’s Theme is Abundance.

Abundance is a state of plenty. In an intensely competitive society, we often feel like we have the opposite. Capitalism breeds a mentality of scarcity — it’s hard to feel like we have enough when we’re constantly trying to accumulate more. 

Gratitude magnifies our experience of abundance. When we marvel at the taste of ripe summer fruit, juice bursting from its skin. When we set a table, a seat for every person we cherish, and bathe in the radiance. 

Generosity multiplies abundance. When we prioritize mutual flourishing over private stockpiling, plant ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer posits, “the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away.” Once you stop hoarding what you fear to lose, you find that the more you share, the richer — in community, in wellbeing — you become. 

What would it take for us to feel like we have enough? What does it take for us to unclench our fists and share our overflowing bounty? Our Santa Fe chapter chose this month’s exploration of Abundance, Neebinnaukzhik Southall illustrated the theme, and Mailchimp is presenting the theme.

Busy is a decision. We do the things we want to do, period. If we say we are too busy, it is just shorthand for the thing being "not important enough" or "not a priority." Busy is not a badge. You don’t find the time to make things, you make the time to do things. — Debbie Millman

[lqb2quotes]

You have to make your own happiness, wherever you are. Your job isn’t going to make you happy, your spouse isn’t going to make you happy, the weather isn’t going to make you happy… You have to decide what you want, and you have to find that way of doing it, whether or not the outside circumstances are going to participate in your success… You have to be able to create your own happiness, period. And if you can’t, then you need to find a good shrink who can help you figure out what it’s going to take.
