Here are a few things I have been thinking about today.

Most startups get it wrong, they look for ideas that scale and then try to make them work instead what you should be doing is looking for ideas that work and figuring out how you can make them scale. Most of the ideas that scale are horrible and no one wants. They are an easy fix and do not actually solve a problem.

The need to constantly be on and going is draining and inspiring depending on where you are at. It never seems like there is any break in what you want to do and the work that you have to do. No matter how much you get done there is always more to do. It can be draining when you let it get to you and see it all as work, things that you have to do, and tell yourself that you are behind it all and it is happening to you. It can be inspiring when you think about how much you can do and see that it is happening for you.

How did people waste their lives before social media? Seriously people will spend five hours researching why someone is wrong but not a minute improving themselves. They will invest themselves in arguments and spend hours trying to prove the other side wrong and not even try to figure out how they could be wrong or figure out how to understand the other person. Who the fuck cares what happens to celebrities? Not that they do not matter but, when did we become so petty that we want to hear about the misery of other people and what they are doing wrong?

Forgiveness is not the same thing as forgetting what happened. This is something I have been struggling with, along with letting go of the past and what people have done to me. It is hard to do but it is the right thing to do. I want to let go and forgive people, but I just cannot let them back into my life and that is the struggle for me. I want to let people into my life, but the truth is that when people prove to you that they do not belong in your life you need to believe them. As much as it hurts it is the right thing to do.

My mind goes negative a lot. I have noticed that just randomly I will get into negative thoughts and it just ruins the present moment. It is not even major issues or things I am dealing with it is just random stuff that does not even matter and should not matter.

Just do it, Nike totally nailed it with this one. I struggle with taking action and trying to figure out what the best thing for me to do is. I never want to waste time, so I end up wasting time trying to figure out how to make the most of my time. It just does not work. Pick something and go do it. That is where the magic happens.
