56: Notes To Self

Yo, it’s Luke!

New section at the bottom of this week’s newsletter!! First time I’ve ever changed the format of this newsletter. Hope you like it.

That said, here is your weekly dose of 5 noteworthy ideas & things I learned about last week. Click on each link to dive further on that topic.

1. I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying 

2. A Good Reminder (Luke’s Thoughts)

Clear mind > smart mind.

Actually, clear mind > any other type of mind.

3. Catching Up With Friends (Luke’s Thoughts)

Tired: Long time no talk, what’s new?!

Wired: I remember you were really into ____, how has that been going?

It’s the little things.

4. Being A Pragmatist (Lee Kuan Yew)

I love this mentality. Just focus on what works.

5. “Dawg of The Week”

See how my friends are playing the game of life, and get their favorite content rec.

Meet Will Howard. Will’s the type of person you meet on a wild adventure.

• Ex: He’s working as an engineer on a yacht right now (with no formal training).

• Ex 2: His favorite form of transportation is hitchhiking. He’s done it in Asia, Europe, and America.

He’s that type of guy. He’s also gone deeper into his mind than anyone I know. You can feel his calmness.

• He’s run many of marathons and ultra-marathons.

• For 3 straight years, he’s meditated for 2 hours every day.

• He recently finished a 10-day meditation retreat.

His rec? Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul Fleischman “because Paul’s explanation of the foundations of meditation are a great place to start for anyone seeking real purity of mind.”

Thanks for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday! If you liked this edition, send it over to a friend who would like it too 🤝 

Cheers,

Luke
