Would you like to buy one of these?
Me too!
They might be found on the discounted thrift shelf by now.
No matter how far we have veered from reverence for the miraculous fact that we exist in a universe that we don’t understand, until we stop getting to dawn, we get a chance to start over.

Implementation
Focus on situations with change potential:
- High stakes – responsible for the outcome
- Novelty – not drawn from the past
- Challenge – done faster and/or better
- Interaction – work with people
This approach requires serious commitment. Development requires time. The secret is to invest a few moments every day to maximize learning.”

Potential
Not only a matter of having time to get things done, it’s also a matter of having the energy.
More closely your schedule of rest & activity corresponds to your natural peaks & valleys throughout the day, the more productive your many efforts will be.

Pathway
Cells in embryos make their way across a steep “developmental landscape” to their eventual fate.
Embryonic cells continuously monitor their changing surroundings and make small corrective adjustments, optimizing as development proceeds, locking in on their planned identity relatively late.
Processing positional information makes genes variously switch on and off throughout the embryo, giving cells distinct identities based on their location. (Some cells unfortunately take the wrong paths and are unable to get back on track.)
All the information is there in the landscape and processing that information effectively may be the phenomenon that makes a bunch of loosely stuck-together atoms behave like the thing we call life.
Had I been like a man living in a wood from which he knows there is no exit, I could have lived; but I was like one lost in a wood who, horrified at having lost his way, rushes about wishing to find the road.”

Boost
For human beings, motion is life. Our bodies are made to move. By exercising modestly on a regular basis, we can change the rate of our aging on a biochemical level. Regular exercise also improves mood, boosts energy levels, and builds self-confidence.
