SpaceX has set a new record with a 20th booster flight and recovery. It was said it "can't be done, even once". There is a cool lesson in this. What does the physics say? It may aid discussions around what can and can't be done. Perhaps go test something. You'll likely learn either way. That goes into a pool of available new knowledge for the next iteration. Ray Dalio had an interesting drawing in his book Principles. It was a line, that went uphill, led to a loop, then the line continued on to the next loop, etc etc. Each loop was a place where we get stuck, we are challenged, frustrated even, but need to learn. Once learned, we progress to the new level and next challenge. 3 blown up falcons, lead to a 4th success, lead to 100's of recoveries, lead to Starship, and eventually Mars. Don't be afraid to test the beliefs or requirements to see what is real to move on to the next levels. Enjoy.

Great Leaders Never Stop Learning. By Simon Sinek. A link to a quick reminder, no matter your role, there is opportunity to step into a scenario and help take it somewhere.
*(Inspiration) - Adam Khoo is a stock/investment manager I follow.
From Adam Khoo:
As part of my 50 years on earth milestone, I have been asked to share my principles and personal beliefs that has empowered me to get the best out of myself.
These principles have allowed me to achieve goals like making my first million at the age of 26, becoming a best-selling author of 16 books, building one of the largest education businesses in South East Asia, achieving financial freedom by the age of 33 and most importantly, having peace of mind, fulfilment and amazing relationships with people that I care about.
I hope you find it useful for your own life.
1) Set big crazy goals. Read your goals every morning and visualise them becoming a reality. Before you go to sleep, ask yourself if you have taken action towards your goals today. If you have, it’s a win for the day! Success is not a destination, it is a day to day process.
2) Take massive, consistent action towards your goals everyday. As long as you move closer to your goals (even by 1 inch), it’s a successful day.
3) If you don’t reach your goal, it is not failure. It is just feedback that you need to change your strategy. You can never fail if you take action. You either succeed or you learn something from it. Either way, you are better off. You can only fail if you don’t give it a shot or if you quit.
4) When you are willing to do whatever it takes, there is always a way. Never ever take no for an answer. If you cannot find a way, make one.
5) If it’s possible for others, it’s possible for me. It is only a matter of strategy. Model and learn from others who have achieved the goals you have set for yourself.
6) Everything happens for a reason. Every adversity carries with it a lesson or an opportunity to become even stronger.
7) It is not the external events that determine my life outcomes. It is how I choose to respond to those events that determine my life outcomes. Always respond in an empowering way.

8) Never complain, give excuses or blame. Take 100% ownership and responsibility for your thoughts, emotions, actions and results. The extent to which you take responsibility for your life is the extent to which you are in control. When you blame others and play the victim, you give others the power to control your life.
9) The meaning of your communication is the response you get. Change the way you communicate until you get the response you want. There are no resistant people, only inflexible communicators. We enough flexibility, you can win anyone over to your way of thinking.
10) You create your emotions. You have the power to change your emotions at any moment by shifting your thoughts and your physiology. No one can make you feel bad without your permission. Happiness is not a goal to be achieved, it is a state of mind. You can choose to be happy anytime by focusing on what you have to be grateful for.

Stressed? Consider starting your day with 30-60 mins for yourself. My routine typically revolves around meditation, then working out, then getting on with things. Why? Self Alignment. The world just is. Our perception of it, up/down, good/bad is all in our head. Thus it's important to be open to seeing both sides of of what "is". To do that, requires not just awareness, but self awareness, so one can see the game from the top down.
Here are a couple of links I utilize from Joe Dispenza:
35 minute, morning meditation, do this for at least 7-21 days before moving on to the next one. This helps get the energy awareness & tame the emotional part of brain.
16 min morning routine, around abundance.
Step into abundance and financial independent feelings. Mind is already there. The mind and body, head and heart, work best when aligned.

It’s always better to try something new, than to wonder what might have been. You can’t get it wrong, there’s no such thing as failing, you’ll still love and be loved, draw nearer to ever-expanding horizons, and eventually realize that you could have dreamed even bigger to begin with and will do so on subsequent adventures around the sun. Or, you could just go for it this time, which is a lot easier to do (and say).
Ain’t it so?
