Legacy
Here’s a quick thought for you. Well, first a quick task followed by a quick thought. Okay, first, select your favorite search engine and search the word: Legacy. Now, if the majority of your results are related to the financial assets you leave behind then you are not alone. But this is a deeply flawed and misinformed definition of legacy. Your legacy, although affected by your assets (possessions) do not define in totum your legacy. I find the following definition a bit more all-inclusive a...

Netflix & Chill
If you’re into the stock market or day trading like the countless others recovering from years trapped inside with no outlet for entertainment, then you’re more than likely aware about the recent news surrounding Netflix and their stock price plummeting. If you’re like me, dealing with both the stocks and the crypto markets, then you’re probably less shocked by an over-30% drop in a single day. (In fact, you may likely shrug your shoulders and say, “Only 30? sounds like Tuesday!”) Regardless,...

Woulda Coulda Shoulda
We all know those people. The ones who balked at your advice, in spite of your urgent pleading and maybe in some cases actual begging. Of course these people mean well, the cautious personality type is incredibly important in balancing our world. But I’m not referring to the self-aware overly cautious individual. (No, this person well knows they have deep troubles with change and decision-making and have come to terms with the consequences for following their instincts.) These self-aware peop...

King Solomon once made the statement, there’s nothing new under the sun. Widely regarded as one of the wisest men in all of history there’s an element of honest believability in each of his short sayings. But I’ve gotten completely off-track already without even giving you a context for today’s thought!
I’d like to propose a thought: Uber was nothing new. In fact, the concept existed long long ago. You see, I am struck with the similarity to an ancient story told in Greek mythology. I refer of course to Charon’s ferry. Now perhaps, I’ve buried the lede here and kept the suspense as long as possible, but surely you can appreciate as I share now more details.
As many probably know, and as the image associated with today’s thought suggests. There is a widely well-known story told of the journey each soul must take once they have died. Some customs attribute the more common funeral biers pushed into the water. In ancient Egypt, there was the journey across the river Styx. However, Charon, is the most familiar of the underworld ferryman. Any soul wishing to enter the Underworld must pay the ferryman for safe passage.
The story of Charon and the token to be paid for safe passage to navigate safely through the Underworld is a fascinating one and a thought I have been particularly focused on lately.
