Bear in mind, the employee and self-employed get busier with success. The business owner and investor get LESS busy with success. 📝 200803de…

The joy I experience when my son laughs is beautiful. I hope you go get your own spouse and son.

Other than becoming intimate with God and being married, having my son is the most meaningful change my life has ever taken.

I can still hold my son in my arms. What a profound gift.

I love my son!

I was buying 5 quarts of motor oil at AutoZone about 20 miles from Sedona Arizona. The employee selling it to me was telling me how stupid or ignorant some customers could be. At some point I mentioned using AI as a tool, and he started to give me push back on the idea. People seem, whether in person or on Nostr, almost weirdly religious or ideological about AI. Somebody in my comments got almost incredulous over me using Grok. Others think AI is evil by nature. I don't buy any of that garbage. AI is an understandable tool, with certain causes and effects. Like a wrench. It has leverage. It has limits. Some people will use it well to serve life. Others won't. But it's here to stay, and humanity will get used to it like every else. Or, some won't. Either way, the cat is out of the bag and no one can stop it.

Announcement! My 5th book, How to Build Deeply Authentic Relationships with Yourself and Others, is now available! Buy on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0duNIch8 Book description: Most people live analogously, according to what other people are doing, not according to what works. Some of the relational imitating people do, works. But a lot of it doesn’t work, not in the long run, and has downstream emotional and relational consequences that lead to broken marriages, friendships, businesses, and dreams. For people who are extremely intelligent and intuitive, lacking a first principles based approach to relationships can result in loneliness and misunderstandings. In reality, even though interpersonal relationships can be challenging they don’t have to be perpetually hard. They can even be joyful, intimate, fun, and peaceful. But it requires the right tools, principles, and vantage points, so you can see what’s real in relationships and align yourself with it. How to Build Deeply Authentic Relationships with Yourself and Others is a series of 12 extremely high utility vantage points that give you the eyes to see what’s real in your relationships with yourself and those around you. Tactics can be short lived and ineffective. Extremely intelligent and intuitive people need to see what’s real in any given business, parent to child, or spouse to spouse relationship in order to use the words and take the actions that align with what the relationship needs. The 12 vantage points Levi M. Johnson writes about come from 20 years of personal research, sorting out what doesn’t work, and integrating what does work, with Jesus. In this book you will learn how to: Speak truth Notice and honor yourself Love yourself Seek first to grok, then to be grokked Speak the language other people are likely to understand Notice your values and the values of other people, and be able to articulate them Notice, implement, respect, and love boundaries Forgive yourself and other people Make deals Interact with minimum necessary force Attend to bids for attention Leave people better than you found them Once you’ve integrated this system of relational operation, and regularly apply it to yourself and your relationships, whether personal or professional, the deeply authentic relationships you’ve always wanted will begin to form. Gradually, with work, isolation, loneliness, and misunderstandings will fade, and leave behind what is truly real about you, others, and genuine interpersonal connections. If this is the journey you want to take, you can buy How to Build Deeply Authentic Relationships with Yourself and Others, and embark on the adventure of your life, since the truth will set you free but not until it’s done with you.
