cultivating an appreciation of uniqueness, rather than preference
Duke Stump | The Beauty Of Not Knowing
vimeo.comliminality and knowing vs. doing
Duke walks us through how ‘not knowing’ served him in his life.
Some highlights:
Do it because it ‘feels right’
Less focus around what’s the logical path, and more on the emotional - what feels right
Sit still and listen vs give into the urge to do something
Go from doing to being
Replace what’s your purpose with what makes you curious? - Notice the difference in how these make you feel
Keep returning to this one burning question - what does the world need most that i am/we are most uniquely qualified to deliver - when you can answer this, you can hit the go button
The concept of Santosha - means complete contentment in yoga philosophy. Relation to Equanimity: Allows acceptance of all circumstances, including pleasure and pain.
Some quotes (we love quotes)
“It’s become a courageous act to love who you are”
“My jam is not about driving traffic, doing the best acquisitions, crm. I wake up in the morning to find the soul of the place, establish it and celebrate it”
“I don’t really have a point of view about data and the known, and how everything you do is directly gonna drive revenue.”
“To know is to be in a prison
To not know is to be free” - Christian Murdy
Savouring the type of surrender I sense, when I see old people relaxing on benches.
Too many things to highlight in this article.
Liminal creativity can help carve a path from disorientation to discovery, from uncertainty to curiosity, from fear to innovation. It can turn scary situations into transformational experiences of self-discovery and self-authorship. In fact, life itself is a liminal space between birth and death.
Think of liminal creativity as a conscious act of venturing out of the mind's perimeter of comfort.
As comic Bruce Feiler says: “It takes about seven years to master something. If you live to be 88, after age 11, you have 11 opportunities to be great at something. Those are your lifetimes. Use them.” Do not fall prey to the self-consistency fallacy. Learn something new. Change careers. Take a risk. Reimagine your identity. Live all of your lifetimes."
Distance and patience and benevolence toward the hours of the day — Respect the hours and help them to succeed each other harmoniously — the heavy hours of the afternoon and the busy hours of the evening — the silent hours of the night.”
