At a certain point, I realized I was no longer being forced to discover or remember this or that, yet the habit from my early days still remained–I kept scrambling to discover a supposedly crucial piece of information, or remember something I was taught years ago and validate it through an unnecessary practical application.

It became unfulfilling. So I decided to focus on abidance in the present, and living a life of visceral trust–trust I would remember or discover whatever I needed to, at the exact right time I needed to discover it. While it may not work for everyone (especially at an earlier stage in life) it definitely works for me now.

  1. Good musings, Kent.

  2. May be we do have to get a little time under our belts and then this works, infallibly.

  3. Bro this is Matt from the Kyoto Kibbitzer. I just wanted to hi and dude you rule. You do rule. So damn hard. I have noticed over the years that you read almost every one of my pieces almost right away and I really appreciate it. It does mean the world to me. I have taken a look at some of your work as well and I really like it. I will definitely check out more. All best. Matt

    1. Thanks Matt! I’m happy to support! And I really appreciate you checking out my work!

  4. Agreed. I still like researching, but it’s possible to spend too much time trying to perfect something I already knew the answer to in the first place.

    Some of the glories of growing older include enjoying the wisdom I’ve gained in life, and learning to trust my instincts. It also helps to care less what others think, which is another learned behavior.

  5. I think a lot of people keep searching without realizing they’re allowed to simply trust for a while. I liked that shift in your thinking. 🙂
