How Your Success Can Destroy You!
Are you destroying your dreams? Are you killing the deep purpose that drives you?
Why do I ask? Because our culture is very focused on inspiring us to find out passion and to live out dreams, but there is a very dangerous turn that can take if we aren’t careful. A turn that can end up blinding us and focusing us on creating pain for others.
See, with every purpose that sharpens our...

I love Seth’s focus on the value/problems that the movie industry is completely missing. Their only reason to go into legal mode and trying to control what people do online is because they’ve been too lazy or unwilling to simply shift their business model...

The Rise of the New Groupthink - NYTimes.com
The past 6 years I’ve worked in open office environments and have always felt like the distracted, noise and interruptions were slowly killing me. It’s nice to see articles like this challenging the herding of creatives into open rooms as...

Taking Personal Retreat - Who are you Searching...
I recently went on a personal retreat this past weekend at a local monastery run by Sisters of Benedictine. And just like when I’ve travelled in the past, when I was going to the retreat I almost had this expectation of finding a new me there. And just as when I travel or vacation to different places I go through this period of agitation waiting for my new surrounding to bring this person about....

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you...”
– Mark Twain (via scottmagdalein)
The only thing that will suffocate the inspiration you might feel from this quote is your need for too much saftey, comfort and the fear that would make the challenge of your dreams worthwhile.
Take the leap.

It used to be Google Starred, I still favorite somethings on Twitter - but everyday I’m going through Tumblr on my Dashboard and in tags I follow to tag the best things I find.
Do you curate a list anywhere?

5 Tech Founders Who are Changing Our World →
I like the different ideas and pivots in this group. Starting things based on needs they see and feel - but also all of them about empowering the individual to have the input and impact that previously was reserved for organizations or businesses.
I see the power of organizations that try to keep their voice singular (one top person) or unified (marketing speak as the org has a...

What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to...

prayer - the moving digital target
I keep my eye out for people doing good things around digital mediums, community and spiritual development. It’s something many of us feel has so much more potential. That when the empowering tools of social media, location awareness, and high technology can hit the natural behaviors of the faithful we can see so much good and love come into the world.
The one area that A LOT of different groups...

For the past ten years I’ve beat myself up because I wasn’t fitting into the long term, 20-30 year job. But now I see the flow in my career as a significant advantage and not isolated.
David Bowden Poetry: A Glimpse into Non-Violence →
davidbowden:
For many of us the question of violence or non-violence never really gets asked. We assume that war is necessary, self-defense is righteous, and physical punishment is just. We allow ourselves not only to have enemies, but to fight them, imprison them, and even kill them in the name of peace,…

my take on digital & social media usage in 2012
Tumblr is the Twitter you want.
Twitter is Social RSS.
Facebook and Google+ are conversation systems.
I undervalue a presence on YouTube.
Email Newsletters are better solutions for most small businesses or personal brands thinking they need a blog.
