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 want to recommit to this work. Over the last couple of weeks at least, I have been focused on money. That is a simplification so let me explain further. I had a revelation and that was that I live in the richest country ever, a country that was built off the backs of my ancestors and people who look like us. Then somewhere along the line I remembered that the living standard for humans across the entire planet is more humble than how Americans operate. All of us should...
