Do New Things to Expect New Things

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

​

Something on my mind that I may explore as content in the coming weeks, is how does one continue life after certain milestones? You're not a kid anymore now what? You're finally married and not single anymore now what? You have tenure at your dream job, now what? Where is the will to continue to live? People tend to say life is short which is a refrain that I don't like to use. That said, if you're blessed, you still get 75-120 years. That's a significant amount of time. What do you do when there is nothing else in your life that you want to do? What are your thoughts on this, feel free to share them with me as they may help shape my position on this subject.

Dynamic Newsletters

Moving forward Life with Ken Newsletters will be less structured. Our newsletter follows a good flow but there are some parts of our newsletter that aren't easily replicated week to week. Additionally, for us to be more effective and impactful some things in our process need to be reconsidered. As of right now we will continue to follow a pattern of acknowledgement, information, weekly encouragement. That said, the trouble that sometimes arrises comes from that information section.

To make things easier and more dynamic and therefore more impactful, and long time subscribers are used to this, but now we are formalizing it. We will be as consistent as possible with our newsletter formula but we will also change things up on occasion as we see fit. One of the biggest examples of this for right now, is that we are doing away with our news section in the newsletter. Instead, news commentary will be focused on our X(twitter) account. Content will be posted by Ken and reposted by Life with Ken as is the case with this story from today on the LA Illegal Immigration Riots:

In this one example of changes that may be made to the newsletter, the benefits of not having to do news stories in the newsletter is that it allows for discussion, gives me more time throughout the day and week to properly prepare content and commentary; and I can do deeper dives without being overbearing. So, hopefully changing our newsletter from something stagnant to more dynamic will allow for the audience to grow and engagement to increase. Additionally the value to you, as a newsletter subscriber, is that you get more integrated in the Life with Ken ecosystem, and can have a more fulfilling experience with our content. Again let me know what you think and how we can continue to improve and make the newsletter better.

Encouragement for Your Week

This week I want to encourage you to take it easy. This season is not your first rodeo. You've been here before. New faces same behaviors. New company same workflow. New relationship similar dynamics to a previous one. Don't act like someone who doesn't know better, because you do know better. Rebuke foolishness. Sometimes the best way to get ahead is to be hands off. Let things work themselves out. Focus on you, focus on being better every day, and focus on operating at a high level. Don't give energy to things that don't need energy from you, let them get their energy elsewhere.

​

Contact us by responding to this email or here. Follow us on social media for more content throughout the week.

​

Have a blessed week!

All the best,

Ken

Hello Reader, I've said this in a different context before, however, since publishing Get Your Mind Right i've experienced clarity like I haven't before. I want to get past this point, but right now I am still processing and figuring out how to process the reality that I was gaslit for a significant portion of my youth. I don't want to peel back those layers in this way but you may be able connect with is that outside of a disability, there is nothing wrong with you. People, places, and...

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...

Hey Reader, I don't know how often this happens but it happens often enough for me to talk about it. Every once and a while I have an existential crisis with respect to doing this work. I place a high expectation on myself because despite certain limitations I know I have the capacity and ability to excel. When I feel like i'm not excelling it makes me want to give up. I rather not try or stop trying than to only be able to achieve mediocrity. I know things take time and I should practice...
