Knowing Better is More Valuable When You're Doing Better


Hello Reader,

Sometimes you leave things and sometimes things leave you. Mental, emotional, and material growth are mutually exclusive.

Labor Day

In recognition of Labor Day there will be no new content published the week of August 31-September 6, 2025. A reminder will be sent next week.

Ken's Corner

Among the things on my mind today and this week, so far, is the idea of if you love something you should let it go. It's a nice sounding philosophy but what are it's implications and is something to live by? Like from a practical perspective why would you let something go if you are a affectionate for it? I guess it's similar to "die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Some of these idioms and or cultural phrases I don't fully know, and can feel ignorant about that; but also just because it's wildly believed or repeated doesn't mean it makes sense. I'm not saying it's not wise, but wisdom to me, at least to a certain degree, makes sense.

Here's an article where I explore some of these ideas from a different perspective:

Sometimes the best way to demonstrate affection is to do so in a way that says that you care but you’re also not devastated over or overly committed to a certain way of doing things, from either side. Being able to let go can be a strong representation of love or a similar feeling because it shows acceptance, stability, and confidence that places well-being over preference; particularly when preference isn’t helpful.

Encouragement for your Week

This Week I want to encourage you that you can do anything you put your mind to. I could talk about neuroplasticity, creating new synapses, growth mindset, abundance, so on and so forth. it's about knowing something or know how something works. Eventually if you're serious about something, it's about putting the rubber to the road. Put your mind to things that are worth doing to you, and suspend your unbelief to receive what it is you want to do most. Also be exposed to new things to know what's possible.

You can get in contact with me by responding to this email or by filling out this form.

Have an impassioned week!

All the best,

Ken

Hello Reader, I need to focus on other stuff. Welcome back to the crash out. As you may know i've been crashing out and using Life with Ken as a medium to process through it. It started almost a month ago when I burnt out from working. I usually try to avoid burning out but it's hard for me for more reasons than one. I hate whining on my platform, but for the sake of the crash out, essentially I'm doing too much stuff and the stuff that I am doing is unfulfilling. The reality is in some...

Hello Reader, I feel good going into this week. I was spending a lot of time bogged down by things but now I have re-adjusted my focus. Not everything that is important requires immediate action. One of my many shortcomings I feel, is that when I start something it can be difficult for me to stop until I finish. The feeling of finishing is satisfying. What's additionally satisfying is getting to start something else without still having something left undone. I'm going to New Jersey in a...

Hey Reader, So, I burnt out last week. Everything came to a halt. Virtually by Wednesday I had no gas left in the tank. I am sorry to say that I don't want to do this anymore. But, I am going to continue to do so. Here's why: If I Stop Life with Ken I Silence Myself - This endeavor was conceived on financial health and wealth generation, and on giving myself a voice. Back when I started this I didn't care who was listening because I understood that probably no one was. No one was really...
