Actionable Advice
- You can’t play the game completely by yourself. We thrive on community. We thrive on fellowship. We depend on the others in the group to support us.
- Being “relative” means you’re related. It’s a good thing to be relative. It should not have a negative connotation when we say something is relative. I’m thinking “oh its relative? Well tell me how it relates! I’m interested.”
- We may have eyelids but we don’t have earlids.
- Every one of us has been warmed by fires we didn’t build. We are the beneficiaries of millions of things that dead people did for us.
- One key to this wellness thing I think is having a diversity of interests in your life. I encourage people to develop interests that (seemingly) have nothing to do with music.
