Not having a morning thought feels more weighty than it did before. I can’t explain it. I do not have an explanation. I am without the ability to explain. I have another all day learning day today and it is blowing my mind. It isn’t that I don’t want to go. These days have been really valuable for my business but I do have to admit that after how busy this week has been I wouldn’t mind some relaxation time.
Tomorrow will be here soon and that will be a good pause day. Lara has an event and this doesn’t feel the same as it used to. If the event happens Abby is going to go to spend time with my sister and I will be home with the boys. The boys are at a point where they would rather be left to do their own thing. They have to be checked in on every now and then and I have to respond if it sounds like they are about to kill each other, but other than that they’re good now.
It is strange to reach that point. It is stranger too to realize it, and it came much sooner than I thought. It would be completely reckless to leave them to their own devices for too long but the curve from completely dependent to independent is much sharper than I realized.
That is the issue with being busier. There is a need for downtime. A need to stop and rest. To find those moments of peace. I think I have gotten everything moving in the right direction. That I have stepped back from the business, seen how it should look, and reformatted it to fit those ideals. Now it is a waiting game, and hopefully that game has a return.
The world is changing, and it is doing so rapidly. Businesses are still in the mindset of optimizing for one thing when another is emerging and on the verge of taking over. There are already people that have outsourced their trust. They are nothing new. It is why celebrity endorsements exist in commercials, but it is one thing to outsource your trust to a human vs a machine, but again that is nothing new. We’ve been trusting Google for over a decade at this point.
I told someone that other day that ChatGPT in 2026 feels like Wikipedia in 2005. The landscape has changed, and it is going to change rapidly. There is a race to build the best and most accurate AI, and by the end of the year that race will shift to the illusion of accuracy and the most profitable AI. Whether it comes from ads or subscriptions it is coming and the first to adjust will win their industry.
