42M – Thoughts on Life, the Universe, and Everything

Today I want to share my experience and tell you about: The basics of the Circle Way as a tool/method The effects I noticed on myself after over one year The backstory of how I got to know it and practice it The Circle Way in a nutshell The basic idea is…

Once upon a time, every space was unsafe.

Cars are mechanical machines.

This is a strategy (or a life pro tip, if you will) that served me incredibly well over the past years.

I’m writing on the spur of the moment because this morning a few things I love happened all at once: I love when I find out about interesting stuff without even looking for it.

I like food.

Long-time readers would know by now that writing is my go-to reflection tool: it helps me think, assess what I learned, and process my emotions.

Sometimes I have the feeling that I take myself (and this blog) too seriously.

A friend of mine recently told me I’m too skeptical about AI.

I’ll start with the conclusions (that is, the lessons) in the hope for this post to be useful to you.

Random Revelations is… …a mini podcast – or whatever you wanna call it – about the seemingly ordinary moments in life that are, when you look a little closer, not so ordinary at all.

I don’t usually love belligerent analogies, but sometimes they can be useful.

You want to go east.

Lately, I’m thinking a lot about food.

Writing a half-baked post on how I eat helped me clarify my relationship with food.

It resembles a metaphor from Forrest Gump, but hear me out!

A dear friend of mine asked me something interesting and all but trivial.

Imagine an alien comes visit Earth.

Nothing in life is so important that can’t be interrupted – not even life itself.

In a nutshell Become wildly influential and change the system from within.

I was about to title this post redefine urgency, but I also didn’t mean for this blog to become monothematic!

Just yesterday I published a short post titled Living is urgent.

Today I came across a guy with a black T-shirt with a sentence written in white: VIVIR ES URGENTE (It was also signed “Pau” – and I immediately thought of Pau Donés.

Most people in the world won’t even notice, since they don’t know I exist.

Today I found out I cannot possibly waste your time – not even if I tried to.

This is a super fresh and quick anecdotal post.

Words are a way to express and understand ourselves and our surroundings.

I want to say something about Manu’s post A comment on comments.

A pedal is not a bicycle.

It’s not just all puns and clickbaiting, I swear.

Have you ever come across something you enjoyed and which made you feel like you wanted to do something similar yourself?

Let me introduce you to Andrea, Blaise, Casey, and Desi.

This afternoon I was supposed to do stuff.

Today I want to share with you a couple of personal anectodes from my past – instead of the usual bite-sized food for thought and questionable questions.

The big issue is deep, unfathomable, inscrutable.

A couple of months ago, I came up with a short parable.

Today I want to take you on a short trip.

Let me warn you straight away: this is not my usual short and simple post about intriguing ideas, unanswerable questions, or bite-sized food for thought.

I’m eating excellent grapes these days, and I feel so grateful about that.

Mu.

This morning I woke up at 6:40 with a few thoughts in mind.

I was chatting with a good friend, and the topic of marketing and ads came up.

I came across this question while aimlessly strolling through the internet.

It may seem counterintuitive, but your life is not about you.

The problem can be: The excess (or lack) of X.

I’ve always been used to justifying, to myself before anyone else.

Here’s a largely unedited transcription of a piece I blurted out last Saturday (6 May 2023), inspired by Vivian Maier’s life and photography.

Here’s a beautiful poem by Eugenio Montale: I climbed down, with you by my arm, at least a million stairs and now you’re not here, it’s emptiness at each step.

Fear got the best of me lately, and I worked way too much for my own good.

Oftentimes, the same behaviour can stem from opposite motives.
