No matter how hard you work or how busy you become, it’s essential to maintain initiative in your life. When I lose control of my life to others, I feel as though I’m living a life of servitude. The most important way to preserve initiative in life is to consistently take action, even if it’s small, as part of my daily routine. Theologian Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr prayed: “Let me do my best in what I have to do, give me the courage to give up what I cannot do, and give me the wisdom to judge the two apart.” - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Texting is locking time in space. Words are a temporal language, and letters are spatial language. Words die out over time, but letters form a “logic” with sentence and word rearrangement.

It is the birth of a new aristocrat. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
