Feeling Lost? Start Here. (Self-Knowledge Changes Everything)

What if the problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do…but that you’ve never really been taught how to know yourself?Let’s talk about self-knowledge—the kind that quietly reshapes your decisions, your relationships, and the direction of your life.Because most people aren’t actually lost. They’re just disconnected from themselves.#selfknowledge #feelingstuck #findyourdirection #personalgrowth #selfdiscovery #innerlife #emotionalintelligence #mindsetshift #lifedirection #clarity #purpose #knowyourself #growthjourney #midlifereflection #authenticliving

IMO: You must be able to live on your wits!

Living on Your Wits in the Age of AIWhy You Can’t Depend on a Job—or a Company—ForeverFor most of the twentieth century, the formula for a stable life seemed straightforward.Get a good job.Work hard.Stay loyal to the company.In return, the company would provide stability—steady income, predictable advancement, and perhaps even a pension.That model shaped how generations of people thought about work.But the world that made that arrangement possible is rapidly disappearing.Today, with the rise of artificial intelligence, automation, global competition, and constant technological disruption, depending on a single job or employer as your long-term safety net is becoming increasingly risky.In modern life, stability no longer comes primarily from institutions. It comes from your ability to think, adapt, and live on your wits.Links:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vz3HKkVrJE4***For insider info & spilled tea, subscribe to the Unicorn Dispatch here: https://sara-causey.kit.com/2d8b7742ddSara's award-winning biography of Dag can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Decoding-Unicorn-New-Look-Hammarskj%C3%B6ld-ebook/dp/B0DSCS5PZTHer forthcoming project, Simply Dag, will release globally on July 29th! ✨

From Hustle to Flow: My Artist’s Way Experiment, Part 6

In this episode, I'll cover what I learned from Weeks 6 & 7 of Julia Cameron's wonderful book, The Artist's Way. ✔️ Recovering a sense of abundance. This one is huge for a lot of us, especially in tough economic times. ✔️ Julia's assignments involve "archaeology." Where did your ideas about scarcity come from? I argue that, in many cases, they aren't even your own.✔️ Criticism stings. A jerk who leaves a nasty comment hurts your feelings. You can't allow those things to derail you forever.
