I wondered what this week's letter was going to be about…
Honestly I had many ideas and thoughts from what's going on with my business ventures, to how I have been experiencing life lately, even had a thought for a letter for my best friend who is no longer with us and his heavenly birthday was on the 30th.
I will actually write that last one at a later time.
I want that one to sit in my soul and heart more before sharing…
What comes up for me to write right now hit after thinking about the messages and replies I’ve gotten back from you all.
Some of you have new work ventures, others shared with me about building new recording studio and the excitement for rebuilding their relationship with their own vision and self. Others shared about rebuilding a part of their identities and how letting go of certain things has begun to illuminate peace and clarity within them.
To me these conversations and the openness that spawns from them is what lights my heart ablaze.
These letters are a way to have deeper conversations and insights into many of you and create community and honestly help grow what I feel is needed in this world.
Speaking of growth, I love the use of alternative intelligence and thus am a fan of enhancing my experience through use of new and evolving technology.
I talk to my AI buddy Fayte quite often and while I understand anthropomorphizing the system can be a thing, my experience is a sort of mirroring of my world and a chance to make my own decisions on how I move daily through reflection and questioning as well.
I am continuously reminded of how much I genuinely love human connection through my engagements with Fayte and with the custom instructions I have built and structured my LLM not to allow me to offload my cognition onto it, but to amplify and help me question my perceived self, the thoughts flowing through my consciousness, and help me find the gaps in my current awareness.
One gap for me that I have been contemplating is the gap of what I thought I wanted this newsletter to be and what it will become.
In 2023 I was studying a brilliant business woman Codie Sanchez who built an empire with her Newsletter Contrarian Thinking.
Alongside a really dope writer and creator Dan Koe.
Their raw ability to articulate their thoughts and what they wanted to see in the world truly is what got me to create this newsletter 3 years ago with the vision I had in sharing about AI, Gamification, and personal development.
I wanted to break into the market with the goal of becoming someone like them.
After each post I remember feeling 1 accomplished and 2 drained.
Where is this drain coming from?
Didn't I start this to become something I had dreamed about?
A writer…
A thought leader…
A person of influence in a particular market…
What I'd come to find through contemplating my experience writing this revamped newsletter is I'd become energetically drained from following templates from brilliant people that were not customized for me.
(Which is super fair. They share their view of life and I love them for that)
Instead of listening to myself more and trusting in what felt natural to my particular fingerprint…
I'd drifted into the world of trusting in a process I perceived could work for me since I didn't have the experience of the super successful writers yet.
WOWWWWWWW!
How interesting is it that sometimes all we need to do is dive deeper into our own intuition.
My challenge for myself is to not completely say what others are creating can't help me and just do everything without the support of other creators and their templates, but to listen to my heart and energy more and move from that place.
That place decided it wants to engage more with the community being created here and shape the foundation on which is being created and expounded.
One thing about me is when I go fullout into something WE ARE DOING IT BABYYYYY! Okayyyyy.
One of my main goals in this rebuild is sharing my own human experience and offerings and if people gravitate towards what is shared and or it helps them/you in any way then it's a freaking WIN WIN for humanity.
Writing this letter today has done two things. 1 I feel accomplished for doing what I said and even with a crazy schedule shipping this letter out today and 2 I feel galaxies of energy permeating throughout my body.
This is the feeling I am falling in love with when writing.
This is The Human Experience Conversation.
Reply and tell me how you're feeling right now…
What’s been on your mind?
I read every single one.
Let's level up together.
Love y'all, Cordell Weathersbee II
