- I have a hot Taylor Swift take
I’m a coach (personal development) by trade so I pick up on how people talk/present things as it’s reflective of their mindset.
I want to preface this with its totally okay for people to not be a fan - that’s not the issue.
The issue is how much people love to pick her and her work apart. How many negative comments people make about a women who obviously is very talented and successful. Instead of respecting her accomplishments, people make very nitpicky statements in an attempt to undermine her work - but they are really only undermining themselves.
The issue isn’t Taylor Swift, she’s fine - she’s going to keep doing her thing.
How we talk about successful people plays into our own psychology.
Everything is a mirror.
You might not know it but picking apart a successful person just because, actually harms you and those around you more than anyone else (especially women - in the case of Taylor Swift).
Criticizing without proper reflection and insight just leads us to consistently playing it small. We look to finds reasons why someone or something ‘isn’t good enough’ vs ‘where they are excelling, even if there’s areas for improvement’. If we do that to others, we most likely do that to ourselves too.
We are what we say and do. We act based on the perspectives we have.
If we’re focused on nitpicking it means we aren’t looking at the potential of what could be. It means we’re most likely trying to make something or someone smaller, because we ourselves feel small. Instead of rising to the occasion to grow and expand, we try to bring others down to our level, by making them smaller.
TS is just an example, it happens often with all kinds of people. You see it a lot in crypto with people’s criticism of really talented builders trying to innovate.
Should also note feedback and nitpicky criticism are not the same thing.
Just some mid day thoughts based on all the hot Taylor Swift takes I’ve been reading that don’t feel very 🌶️and instead feel very predictable because it’s just the same old takes repackaged

- What are the essentials of living a good life?
For myself, some of those essentials are about authentic expression, creativity, joy, adventure, connection, safety+security, wellbeing, the excitement of innovation + trying new things, building community and trying to leave the world (in some small way) better than I found it.
It’s why I love entrepreneurship and why I love crypto and blockchain. I feel it’s this beautiful space to do all of those things.
Entrepreneurship is a philosophical way of living that becomes a form of expression that then shapes our realities.
Crypto and blockchain offer us tools to recreate how we interact, build communities and share resources.
- My career focused journal prompts for the Solar Eclipse in Aries:
♈️What bold leadership moves are you ready to make now?
♈️What aspect of your professional life feels stagnant and calls for a courageous, fresh start?
♈️What are your professional goals for the next cycle?
My hopes are to end habits and feelings that don't align with my highest career aspirations and step into those that do.
Share your prompts or reflections in the comments!

- what happens when we let go of the thing we’re the most afraid of losing?
we let go of the identity ascribed to it
we let go of all the ways we’ve tried to make ourselves small to keep it
what we find in its absence is a path that leads us closer to a true sense of home within ourselves

- **Everyone building in onchain social is charting new waters.** You may not agree with everything these folks do, and things get a little sensitive when internet money is involved, but let's let the builders build, and the experimenters experiment. Feedback should always be delivered kindly and directly, and it should be welcomed. But I don't think anyone has done any wrong by rewarding those who have held their Bonsai and used it to collect other folks, as an experiment for a drop. It's not punishing anyone, it is testing new things out. Didn't like the experiment? Give feedback kindly, but don't throw in your lab coat or disrespect the experimenters (especially if you were able to take some gains along the way). Expect good intentions always. Were there flaws? Yes. Will there be more? Yes. These are new waters.
For me, I'm going to continue collecting and supporting the builders here. Lots of amazing things have happened in the ecosystem this week. @lens/carlosbeltran and @lens/natem were able to raise $ 1M to continue building in this ecosystem, @lens/kipto and @lens/nilesh created quick UI for claiming and also collecting in app, and the feed is better than ever. more new people coming in the @lens/lens garden and more folks reactivating.
- nothing changes, if nothing changes
we will rebuild what already exists because it’s what we know, even if we are building it subconsciously
we have to change how we relate with ourselves, those around us + those we’ll never meet
part of this means finding ways to meaningfully communicate with those we don’t agree with

- I wrote this back in September but with the emergence of bonsai, pointless, degen and other tipping memecoins aka social connection peee to peer economies, I thought I’d reshare.
I’ll write an updated version in the coming weeks. Lots of fun progress has been made since I wrote this but the premise remains the same…
“We’ve all heard the phrase ‘it’s the little things that count’, which is often used in the context of personal relationships, but what about our increasingly online relationships?”
