🔗 Pockets of Belfast - Gapingvoid

On 20th March, in celebration of the UN’s World Happiness day, the BBC’s Mark Easton conducted a little social experiment: dropping ten wallets (with money and his phone number inside) on the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland. He got them all back.

Makes me happy - and today isn’t even World Happiness Day!

Today's 5 Links (Remember These?)

Dan McQuillan on We Come to Bury ChatGPT. Worlds largest "Bullshit Generator"?

Gaping Void on Missing Out? FOMO rules the world.

David Ursillo on In The Attention Economy, Stories are Currency. Yeah, it's a sales pitch, but I like the distinction between stories that grab attention v. stories that honor attention. Important distinction.

More on ChatGPT, this time from Fast Company: Chat GPT Has an IQ of 83, Yet Its Coming For Our Jobs. They go on to discuss how disruptive technology exposes how pointless much of the work we did before it arrived was. Plus ca change, and all that.

With so many OOO ping-back messages today, I thought I would share my #fridayfun a day early. This one is from the team at Gapingvoid Art and probably ranks up there as one of my cartoons of the year! Enjoy the Christmas break all! rws_01

Work Life Balance - AGAIN.

Long said that the whole work/life balance problem ‘solves the wrong problem really well’. For example - 🖇️ me, early six years ago

I conclude …

Does John Mayall feel fulfilled? Well, needless to say, I can’t speak for him - but I think he does. Is he the richest musician on the planet? Not by a long way. Is he the most well known? Not at all. But I’d wager he is one of the most fulfilled people out there. And not a work-life balance equation to be seen.

Just read this in Gaping Void

🔗 Your Life Isn’t Meant To Be Balanced, It’s Meant to Be Whole - Gapingvoid

and that article concludes ….

The leaders who change the world don’t offer better boundaries–they offer better stories. More meaning. Gandhi didn’t check out at 5pm. MLK didn’t compartmentalize his dream.

Were kinda trying to say the same thing.

A few years ago now, I developed the ‘Pay|Purpose|Play|Passion model.

It looks something like this to most of us …

Maybe ‘Balance’ is more like this?

Of course ‘Nirvana’ might be a single circle image where all four areas fully overlap. Impossible? Probably. Is that what to aim for? Probably not.

Because it is different. For everyone. All the time. In different contexts.

And that is ok.
