Thank you Lil! Definitely a very treasured piece of my core memories in life that I wouldn't change for the world. Grateful we get the times together to grow and to live!
Great article, thanks for sharing Vincent. Inspiring stories and through-provoking ideas. I especially enjoyed the one about sitting in silence to quiet thoughts and be peaceful even in crowds.
One thing I learned in 2023 - very much related to what you say about being at stage G in the journey from A -> Z - is to remind myself that with any long-term project or practice that I am "building something". That, brick by brick, I am slowly putting the thing together - learning, improving, progressing - and actually what I really enjoy is not the finished "house", but the process, the simple act of putting the next brick on top of the last. And if I ever did "finish the house" or "make it to Z", I'd probably take a minute to stand back, admire the work, and then start right back at A. Kind of funny when you think about it like that :)
Hello Ant! I'm glad this resonated with you as well. It's a good reminder to all of us about enjoying the progress.
I think understanding this then also bring forward a second follow up question: looking at everything we're doing right now, which of those do I simply enjoy the process and which am I doing purely for the sake of wanting an outcome?
Perhaps all of us can feel more empowered in life and have more joy by choosing more of the things we enjoy the progress.
So wise Vinnie- love the lessons! We had a great year with you too 🫶
