Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt therapy, once said, “Fear is excitement without the breath.”
Wow. Think about that. Fear is simply excitement without the breath.
Imagine if every time we felt fear we simply took a deep breath and smiled as we jumped in!
Ahhhhhh…
“In this information age, knowledge is as plentiful as fast food, wisdom as precious as a home cooked meal. Knowledge is mindlessly poured into troughs; wisdom preciously served one ladle at a time with delight. It’s knowledge we have, but wisdom we seek. Knowledge informs; wisdom transforms. As for PhilosophersNotes, it’s Wisdom that Meister Brian Johnson so generously serves here. The sort of wisdom that can only be revealed by a true modern day Philosopher gloriously in the throws of discovery, in service to the world. My advice to you: step on! Take this ride of a lifetime with Brian and benefit from this master’s passionate search for truth and wisdom.”
“I appreciate receiving these PhilosophersNotes filled with deep and powerful wisdom so very much. As a busy mother and lawyer, I never seem to have enough time in the day to satisfy my thirst for new wisdom and growth. So I particularly love giving your Note a quick read as part of my morning routine, and then contemplating the "Big Ideas" of the day (and how I can more deeply incorporate into my own life) while making breakfast for my son, driving to the office, riding in the elevator, etc. - whenever I have a quiet moment. You've made it so easy to do, and I can honestly say that this practice helps me stay centered and intentional throughout my day. Thank you so much for this precious gift! ”
