[If you teach well, people might pay you to help them with things you're skilled at, even without expertise.]
[Putting people in a group or course would yield better outcomes when they have been vetted to have similar needs that can be addressed by your offering. The transactional 'buy and enroll' misses this opportunity.]

[Living documentation that everyone can access. Many people have talked about doing it, but you actually do it in a relational way. Nice reminder of the beauty created through that process. No logic or reason behind it, other than connection, recognizing that something cool is happening and doing it.]
Poorly dressed in other folks' old clothes, with a dog and a noisy borrowed bicycle, I'd see half the eyes in the room wish they hadn't come the moment they realised that it was me giving the workshop. 'this is the guy?!'. Some would quickly look away as if to hide the way their faces openly displayed their shock. I quickly learnt to play off of that, and to enjoy it too; it was the first tension contour to resolve! Knowing that I would resolve that tension, I could enjoy it, a little like sitting in front of a big cake you know you are about to eat, and waiting a little!
[Problematic learners can become observers. Problematic rapports in one-on-one might work out better in a worokshop setting, or in an audio course. Terminating a relationship with the student can still maintain their engagement with the method.]
[Bear with difficult learners as long as they help illuminate deficiencies in your method. Try to convince them to play ball, but ultimately leave the choice with them.]
[Explaining etymology can help mask repetition.]

overcoming habits and division
[Being open-minded is the willingness to change your views if evidence has been presented, even to revise what your definition of evidence is.]
[In certain life domains, you need to persist even if it seems delusional, because that's gonna stick with you for life.]
separating truth, belief, and identity
[Even if they overlap, truth and belief aren't the same thing.]
not a tree shaker but a forest shaker
Perhaps I should also not consider life separate from my projects, since they likely make each other possible.
[I wanted to fill that emptiness with love, acknowledgement, or validation from other people. I wasn't receiving that, so I became increasingly frustrated.]
[If you feel overwhelmed, then you're taking on too much. If it feels unsatisfying or like a commitment to someone else, then it's not resonating with your own curiosities.]
How can I include a piece of those I've met so that they see themselves in me?
If I can sleep comfortably on a yoga mat, I have significantly expanded the 'surface area' of what's possible.

[Life change is like a bridge from where you are to who you want to be. The version of you saying "I can never do that" will be shed when crossing the bridge, so just figure out how to get to the other side.]
