    Rubber Band Ball Analogy

    -Motivation not adventure

    -healing through new experience

    -at the core is your childhood

    -every experience is a rubber band

    -the more unique the bigger the band

    -weddings, anniversaries this are the big ones

    -adding someone into you life is like putting a smaller core in then the rubber bands wrap them all

    -combined experiences wrap around the core most positive usually a good thing

    -Sometimes it goes bad and you have to cut out one of your core people

    -scissors to cut out that ball that you wrapped around your core

    -ball stays together but frayed ends

    -IMO the best way to get rid of frayed ends is new experiences

    -why I am taking the year to heal and grow

    Gear

    Books

    Unfuck Yourself (John Gary Bishop)

    -Gifted the book

    -Kindle

    -points for me is the self talk

    -Call to action

    -No one is going to do it for you

    -later half was confidence and moving out of your comfort zone

    Factfulness (Ten reasons we’re wrong about the world and why things are better than you think) Hans Rosling & family

    -spoke to me

    -slowly gradually improving

    -world is better today then 20 years ago

    -favorite part is 35% of the book is reference data

    -take the 13 question test and tell me how you did

    Conclusion

    -get out of your comfort zone and do something different

    -only you can change your reality

    -if you want to change look inward first then find the resources

    -stop wasting time on shit that doesn’t matter
