Its interesting hearing you say you are looking for your "thing" (you are one of my favorite susbtack / x follows, and have always admired how clear your angle was!).

Also, this helped me, just go sit down quietly for 10 minutes / day (don't even call it meditation) and train attention. The more I've done it the clearer the signal to follow fun / curiosity gets.

Trite but really useful as a tool, go read "the power of now".

thank you! its weird because i do have my kinda thing thats been with me for nearly 10 years but it gets fuzzier and a thing here and there kind of changes it slightly until its years later to look back and think 'if i were to start this thing today what would i do' instead of how do i tweak this thing back to what i really want (if i know what i want)

A few posts back, you'd had this section in the newsletter, 'Try this', where you posted a sample prompt for us to try. It was cool cause it was something that I hadn't seen before. The one you posted turned out to be really useful. Wondering if you can keep that going for future posts?

Thanks, Terry

Regarding: "I’m letting things percolate." & "what do I really want to do? And noticing what I keep coming back to when I take the time to think on it."

Thanks for sharing; I respect that a lot. More importantly: Congrats!! That's awesome progress, IMO. I wish you the stamina and patience to see that process through thoroughly! For myself, I have found that clarity often waits on the "other side" of such "walk-abouts."
