what 20!! You’re crazy
200 newsletters and 20 crazy talks, in 16 years there will be 1000 newsletters and 820 crazy talks, I will be 47 years old. I wonder what life will be like then? I hope I will read this back.
I once wrote a newsletter for 100 years from now when I won’t be here and thought about scheduling it on mail chimp, then I thought no James that’s a bit weird.
Feeling pretty pleased with 200 newsletters, they started off just as a little newsletter about sanctus events, then I started writing about Sanctus stuff and the journey there and then I began writing more about my personal journey as a founder and then as a human and then as me.
Quite a cool transition really and quite poignant, because I feel like I found myself through Sanctus :)
Not sure what else to say today. I am going on a wine tasting tour tomorrow and then to Porto.
I have been asked a couple of times why I write this newsletter?
I don’t have anything to sell or really anything that I want anyone to do. I just enjoy writing it. It’s that simple. I like to write, I find it creative and challenging and fun and I feel connected to the writing process which often unearths how I feel and what I want to share with the world and then I really enjoy connecting with people when I get responses.
It’s one of the few things I do that I just don’t really think too much about I just do it.
Loving stranger things, Is it just me or is that whole show basically about trauma? And the pain in our past… that interests me.
What is enough?
That’s the question isn’t it. It really is. Enough. I think a lot of people, me included, are hard wired into the “never enough” belief system which I think is basically capitalism because capitalism is all about more and surplus and profit and GROWTH.
Yet enough is different, enough is still something, you still have to create and grow, yet enough is different. Enough is…. Satisfying, it’s all you need and maybe a bit more just in case.
The always more system we’re in right now is just this mind-bending need to conquer and achieve and have more. Climb more mountains, colonise more islands, experience everything the world has to offer.
Enough is what you need to be happy and fulfilled. I think anyway....
Newsletter is late today for a few reasons. Hope that's ok.
Thinking a lot about money and about enough....something there.
