Jet’s Journal - #122

Hi All!
Here’s is your weekly roundup of what I’m pondering and exploring of course. Feel free to forward along to a friend if you think they might enjoy.
I love riding my bike
Lately I have been obsessed with riding my bike and I’m probably not going to shut up about it for the next few months. For context, I’ve been clocking close to 50-70kms a week in just commuting to work, with plans to hopefully increase my distances.
The only thing that messed me up was I got a flat tire the other day which took me out of action for a day or two. However, that’s okay, and I actually really enjoyed repairing the bike and even upgrading certain components using my own two hands.
Thanks to Dad for always leading the way and passing on simple maintenance and repairs tips. Having someone so hands on really helps me become an even more sovereign individual that can solve their own problems without the need for major external support.
Anyway, to keep on the topic of cycling I thought I’d share a monologue I found in an Instagram reel which I thought encapsulated the reason why I love the form of transportation so much. Take a read below:
“The bicycle is the purest form of independent mobility. It requires no license, insurance, fuel, or complex maintenance. The autonomy it provides has profound value in an age where nearly every aspect of life is mediated by systems, platforms, and service providers. The bike is yours, it responds only to you, it runs on your energy. It is humanized technology. Choosing a bike in a car-dominated world is an act of cultural resistance. Every pedal stroke is a vote for a more livable, humane, and just city. Every time we ride, we affirm our freedom
Dealing with being overwhelmed
I feel like I’m slightly beginning to get overwhelmed. There’s so many things happening right now and I’m not sure where to fully invest my attention. Of course I don’t want to be scattered and spread myself too thin, however, there’s so much opportunity I feel like I need to go after.
I could very easily let a few things go and just focus on one or two main priorities, however, a part of me wants to hedge my bets even if I have full faith and trust in God.
My work isn’t going to market itself, I’m not going to connect with new people without putting myself out there, I’m not going to learn new skills and develop my craft by waiting for divine inspiration.
I have to go, right now.
I don’t know if this urgency is a good or bad thing but I sometimes struggle trusting the way things unfold and passively sitting back as if opportunities will land in my lap if I just believe. I don’t think belief is enough, I think you need action.
I wonder if anyone else can relate to this. Not sure.
All I know is that my responsibilities today will be nothing like the ones tomorrow which is a thought in itself that can be overwhelming—almost like it never slows down. I guess you just get better at managing it though, will have to just wait and see.
This might be a good reminder to myself to slow down, put my foot on the breaks, and take a little break.
Learning to think
I recently found a fantastic article posted on X. It’s one of the best things I’ve read this year and would highly recommend giving it a read—especially if you’re interested in critical thinking and learning to discern your own thoughts verse the ones programmed into you. Be warned though, it’s not a short read (~7 minutes +).
A great podcast
I really enjoyed this podcast between Sneako and Professor Jiang, who I’ve previously mentioned on here before. Sneako asks some great questions regarding geopolitics, life, wealth, technology, conspiracy theories, the epstein files, and more.
Be warned though, I’d say take everything either of these two say with a grain of salt. Very thought provoking however.
Living between the extremes
The diagram below is how I’ve felt lately. I’m either living in complete self-confidence and trust, or I’m experiencing huge doubt, and reconsidering everything I’ve ever done and plan to do. Not sure what to say other than that lol. Guess the only reason I share this is to document it’s neither always all good, or always all bad, it just is.
Hope everyone enjoys their week.
Love,
Jet Williams
