ZM happy wavy Wednesday. The ZAO flow feels grounded today — the kind of steady hum that shows up when everyone’s quietly building, checking in with themselves, and moving with intention. No rush, no noise, just consistency stacking on consistency. That’s the kind of energy that carries a vision longer than hype ever could.

Today’s mindful moment came from the card I pulled this morning — one of those reminders that lands exactly when you need it. It said, word for word: “YOU ARE NEVER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS, BUT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU. IF SOMEONE IS NOT TREATING YOU WITH LOVE AND RESPECT, IT IS A GIFT IF THEY WALK AWAY FROM YOU. YOU MAY HURT FOR A WHILE, BUT YOUR HEART WILL EVENTUALLY HEAL.”

There’s a real freedom in that line. In a creative life, in community building, in this Web3 mess we navigate, you’re going to pour into people, projects, and spaces that don’t always meet you with the same energy. Learning to love and respect yourself — enough to walk your own path regardless — is part of the craft.

Give yourself enough love today to move where you’re valued.
