Macro Frui

Macro frui wo 11/10 As I was sitting there reading my book, something occurred to me. Everything around me was entirely….. Still. I love the podcast Modern Wisdom by Chris Williamson. He has a premise he likes to talk about on his podcasts about Type A and Type B people. Type A people are the over-achieving, competitive, workaholics that rule the world (Or at least they’d like to eventually). Type A people are interesting because they are ambitious, adventurous, and tend to be perfectionists....

Macro frui w/o 1/5 As I was getting rag dolled uncontrollably it occurred to me, I am absolutely getting… Humbled. Let me paint the picture. Around this time (January) of 2023, I embarked on the second most humbling experience of my life. The winters in California are harsher than one might expect because of wind and rain storms. Fortunately for us surfers, this is what we live for. On this occasion we were getting reports of a giant storm brewing off the coast which was generating a long...

Macro frui w/o 1/1 I bought something very special to me in 2024, it is single handedly the best investment I made all of last year. This rug…. This rug is from Pakistan and I bought it at an amazing store called Old World Rugs in San Luis Obispo, Ca. If you aren’t familiar with how these rugs are made here is a short video demonstration if you’re curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ECqbfX0IUA&t=18s The reason this rug holds so dear to me is because it metaphorically represents more...

Macro frui w/o 12/15 Much of my time is spent creating, of the time, 90% goes towards this one skill. The one skill that has dramatically altered the way I look, think, and interact with the world…. Drawing Drawing is fairly daunting. The level of talent within the art community ranges from people like me (novice), to the extreme maestros like Da Vinci or modern day artist Stan Prokopenko. The discrepancy between the artist bell curve is very dramatic. This makes people who lack raw talent...

Macro frui w/o 12/1 We are all a bit selfish, it’s human nature, but there’s one thing we can all do to become more selfless and that is… Giving without expecting anything in return. This time of year is amazing, it’s back to back holidays, filled with amazing friends and family. During this time of year, it's one of the few occasions where we show our appreciation towards each other expressed in the action of giving. Except, psychologically, we have become accustomed to receiving as well as...

Macro frui w/o 11/24 If there’s one thing that everyone can do to make the world a better place is for them to focus on… Growth. It’s actually pretty simple and easy to do. It requires having a belief in yourself that will take you further than you could have imagined. Here is my framework to growth and how if more people participated, it would naturally make the world a better place. 1. Take care of something special to you. Start with a plant. The key is to go into a shop and pick out your...

Book Club 1: Astoria by Peter Stark This is my book club collection. I won’t ever reveal too much about a book, but if you’d like to discuss the book please reach out to me and we can talk it over in detail. The more the merrier. Astoria You ever read or watch something that makes you question your entire existence. This book Astoria, by Peter Stark has done that for me. I have an obsession for history, but this one takes the cake for one of the more interesting books I have ever read. I grew...

Macro frui w/o 11/10 Let go of this trait and you’ll notice you look at the world with more optimism. You're holding yourself back through…. Judgment. One of the more common traits I see in people that are a bit pessimistic is their ability to judge everything. Judgment is a damning trait, and I think it’s by design. We as a society are consumed. It’s the reason we want the next best thing, and the stuff we have now is never enough. We are consumed by media, information, and complacency. Most...

Macro frui w/o 11/3 Your world is composed of subjective experiences, these experiences dictate your… Perspective. The world is changing, it always has been. It’s vital to reflect. Through this deep reflection, we can learn everything we need to know about ourselves. We make up our own realities, and those realities are dictated by our subconscious and conscious perspective about how we view the world. For example, I started this graphic design journey over a year ago, but have been working...

Macro frui w/o 10/27/24 A lot of people say they will do something, most don’t, and those that do have something in common. Execution. I don’t blame you for not finishing what you started, it may not align with what you are naturally drawn to do. One cannot force a river to flow upward, the harder you try the less likely you are to succeed. Instead you can learn to execute. Most people, in my opinion, have the ability to perform complex tasks. There’s a dramatic difference between starting...
