How to be here

Rob Bell

  • 5/5
  • Finished 2023
  • Self-development
  • Philosophy
  • “Eh-nihlo” - out of nothing
  • All work is participating in the ongoing creation of the world
  • Send handwritten letters home each week
  • “What new and good thing is going to come out of even this?” ← a way to reframe negatives as opportunities
  • Some things you do for you - and that’s fine
  • Success says “what more can i get”, Craft says “can you believe I get to do this?”
  • Start with step 1 - most don’t do step 1 because they can’t yet figure out the 17th
  • When you’re worried about the risk of doing someting (failure/losing money/embarassment), there’s a risk to not do something (wandering ‘what if’, being bored/envious)
  • Risk is where I start
  • How you do anything is how you do everything
  • You have more power over your time than you realize
