A New Week is a New Chance to Be Better


Hey Reader,

Show up. Every day. At work, at home, with you family, for you kids, for yourself; show up. I admit its easier said than done and sometimes expectations are better than realty. The difference between you, the person you want to be, and the person who wants to be like you, is how often you show up and give 100% regardless of anything else.

Ken's Takes and Commentary

We've been in transition for about a month with respect to this newsletter. I've decided to "democratize" my takes and commentary on current events. It's been helpful mainly because it reduces production time for the newsletter and allows for me to cover more content in a more timely fashion. It also gives me and Life with Ken more credibility overall. The one draw back from doing my news takes outside of this newsletter is that it's not archived and I like the idea of world building and being able to effectively refer back to certain information. To that end, I've created a new page on the Life with Ken main website, under the "Media" tab, where you can see an archive of all my X threads on interesting news stories. I hope you enjoy and capitlize on having access to content in this way and as we finish this transition be sure to give feedback to help us continue to optimize our offerings.

Encouragement For Your Week

This week i want to encourage you to not over think things. I can be an over thinker sometimes. You take one scenario go three or four different directions with it and before you know it you're in a rabbit hole trying to figure out how you can go off grid; or you've thought yourself into a depression doom cycle. You've got to try to strike a balance where you are serious and considerate enough of and for your future, while at the same time being present enough where what's on your agenda for today is sufficient responsibility. I have found that sometimes the expectations of today can make you worry about your future. You may say, "i'm not doing enough" or "is this going to make a difference" or "same ole same ole" or "things will never change." If your responsibilities for today don't give you hope for tomorrow find something before the day is over that will. Also, don't forget to eat and sleep because maybe you're just a little cranky.

For more content throughout the week join us on Substack and follow us on your favorite social media platforms. Feel free contact me by responding to this email or by filling out our contact us form.

Have a blessed week!

All the best,

Ken

Hello, It's wild how two to three days can exacerbate into two to three weeks. I had a family member tell me, and it's kind of a common understanding, that keeping up with your responsibilities is easier for whatever that's worth, than having to catch up on your responsibilities. But, sometimes life happens and you end up playing catch up. That is where I continue to be at in this season and it's too much to fully unpack at the moment. Update from Ken Hello and welcome to the new Newsletter...

Hello Reader, Ken's Corner Towards the end of last week I had some technical difficulties. I feel like I've been having those. Since the top of this year everyone I've encountered has asked me, what am I going to do next? I get that question less often these days but I still feel the pressure. The problem is that everything that I come up with just feels or seems like something I don't want to do. I may be giving up on my future in some capacity. What I want to do is not have to strive and...
