Hey everyone welcome to DailyJim that's the episode for monday, july 11th 2022 I want to talk about today.
Oh I've had my head deep man, ah talking about the messiness of life um after this chime finishes, I will get more into the topic. Music.
I want to talk about the unpredictability, that's what I want to talk about earlier. Yes, the uncertainty of life and how, when we are doing more scalable things, the uncertainty also scales. So I was thinking earlier today about how many times I don't, mhm many times I want to know the answer, I want to know what's happening, I want to know why I want to know, like I'm very curious to know what's happening and what's going on, and how things work etcetera etcetera and I think that can lead me to going a bit crazy or anxious just trying to figure out what the solution is. And when I travel, especially when I'm overseas in different country, different language, I can relax a lot of times and just say, I don't know what's happening and I probably won't be able to figure out. So let me just go with the flow and, I also feel pretty confident that I do this when I'm running workshops in person, There are plenty of people in the room, maybe 30 or sometimes even 50 people in the room, but I feel pretty confident that even though I know there's a lot of uncertainty happening, that on the overall, I seem to have bounds on what may or may not happen and and some control on what's happening.
I was thinking earlier just about how with the Internet, hey, there's a lot of uncertainty and I feel it. I feel it, especially when it comes to professional things. And I think it's a combination of, again, I think the Internet allows us to scale quickly. So if I'm running a workshop, maybe in person, there's 10, 15, 20, maybe, like I said, up to 50 people, maybe. But if they're doing on the internet, these people can come from anywhere, there could be a lot of people, there could be no people, there could be some people one day and no people the next day and then a lot of people the next day, the people could come from my local area. They could come from other parts of the US, they could be from other parts of the world, they could speak english, they could not speak english. Um there's just so much uncertainty that can come from it. It can make me, you know, I could feel happy or proud or scared or sad or angry or so many different emotions based on so many different interactions when it comes to. And that's, and that's, people may be visiting the website, talking about going on to twitter, going onto instagram and just the level of uncertainty scale so quickly. And maybe that's just part of the game. I mean because the level of uh money potentially scales the level of influence scales, the number of people one can interact with scales, the distance at which one can interact with somebody scales so many of these things scale, which at least for myself has been something that I've wanted to find. I've wanted to find ways to help people with emotional health on a more scalable level. And I think I've overlooked or almost pretended to not notice how, much uncertainty is inherent in that scalability.
So maybe you are out there and you're thinking that he, you know, I don't think it only applies to the internet. I think it applies to anything really that starts to leverage, you know, gain a lot of leverage or go on a much scalable level is a much higher scale level of scalability. Is that also the uncertainty can't come with it because it's just increasing the number of interactions, increasing the number of people that are being affected, increasing the number of times are being affected, increasing the, just the surface area really. And yeah, so one thing that really helped me this morning and throughout the day has been just tell myself, I don't know and I don't need to know, I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't need to know what's going to happen. It's, it's, I can't know in a way, but I also don't need to know and I can feel my body relaxed so much. When I say, I don't need to know what's going to happen when I release this website or when I put this video out there, I say this thing in public or blah blah blah, so much, so many things that we could do, on the internet, So many things that could happen in response to what we do and, trying to sit here and anticipate or figure out what's going to happen before it happens uh. Is somewhat futile, even if it's possible, it can drive. It was absolutely mad. So I'm hoping that this lesson lesson reflection rather resonates with you a little bit and that you realize that, I don't know, I don't know. I don't need to know. On that note, I have a good night, y'all? I'll talk to you soon.
