Choose yourself, one idea at a time...

I have been hearing about James Altucher on the periphery. Thoreau describes this type of discovery, as the "side eye" in his writer's journal. Not to go too far off on a tangent, but reading the Thoreau journals has been a summer pleasure project for me. Just when you think it a bit too erudite or precious--bam--an insight hits that defies the 1800s origin of the writing.

To be receptive to his truest sense of things, the observer looks from a detached perspective, both of space and of time--waits for himself, as it were. "So in my botanizing or natural history walks, going for one thing, I get another thing."

Head over to the LONDONREAL episode here. Or take a look at his book Choosing Yourself. There is something humbling about a writer's journey. All of the lessons learned from failure along the way but the most amazing part is how to rise up and do it again--sometimes better--but sometimes not. But always stronger.
