I like the metaphor of life as a series of flights, and the structure one has built to support one's life as a plane. It could be a complex machine with many switches and buttons and screens and checklists, but an airliner can also carry quite a lot of people. It's the equivalent of a town or a company.

This is a continuation of what I wrote about money and what great philosophers thought about money in order to document for myself but mostly to share with you what I think I learned about this topic.

It was an awakening that overcame me, not a decision I made.

LISA: To believe in everything.

The longest journey you will make in your life is from your head to your heart.

After writing about the heart in technical terms, I've read Paulo Coelho's book “The Alchemist” and the boy has just learned from the alchemist to listen to his heart.

I just realized as deeply as never before, that flying, as an experience accessible to humans, is still constantly evolving into more and more forms, each of them becoming more and more accessible, and at least their recordings basically free for everyone to watch:

Yesterday I realized how amazing it is that I found this work that I'm doing right now. Sometimes it seems to me like others are making it more complicated than necessary, but then I also realize that they're also taking care of these seemingly unnecessary complications and allow me to simply do my work. And that I find quite amazing.

I just realized how much people love it when you remove your ego from your work. During the 90 minute debrief meeting we just had, the most positive comment on anything that I said was this:

Yesterday evening, when I was lying in bed, I could suddenly remember my new self. It had lost all its presence while my old self had grown back almost to its old strength. I wasn't feeling all that good.

I don't like when people are involved in their work with their ego. Probably I am as well, but it's easier to see in other people.
