I Am Not a Guru

I(Keoni) am not a guru when it comes to personal development.

However, I qualify as a personal development expert according to Tim Ferriss’s book, The 4-Hour Workweek.

I have read/listened to an absurd amount of business and personal development books. And then I apply what I am learning that speaks to me and my journey. One thing I have learned after listening to The Tao of Seneca(teachings from the stoic philosopher that literally lived in Rome around the time of Jesus) is that there are no original ideas. In the teachings from his letters he says are not even his original thoughts, but from philosophers before him.

My Interpretation

The real beauty out of all this revelation is that you can follow the path of somebody you admire and carve out a new path along the way that you can call your own. This really has given me permission that I am not merely copyright infringing on somebody else’s teachings, but merely giving my interpretation of a long lineage of people carving out their new path.
