And in front of you right now you have the weekly intel newsletter. And this week release titled Sequence is the System. This is brief number 24 on the weekly intel. And I figured I'm gonna share while I read. I'm not gonna read a uh a portion of this newsletter to you. So subtitle today for Sequence Is the System is I cried for 30 minutes. Did I build a weapon out of what made me cry? And the purpose of me reading my newsletter to you is because my goal is to get good at reading. It's not something that I feel the I feel the confidence in as much as I can feel confident about speaking, but reading is a is a difficult thing, and I'm sure you why. And this week, newsletter is the reason why. So uh recently dropped one of my podcast episodes that I had a really good discussion with my friend Rachel Cronin. You can check that out on Memoirs Summins podcast, and also for the folks that follow the journey, we're looking for 250 authors part of the beta program for launch of Live Changing Wisdom Marketplace. Folks that want to write their memoir, so you can check that out at lifechainingwisdom.com. But now let's get into room number one for the article. So the enemy you cannot name is the one running your life. Is there a moment in your life when you read words and you feel too familiar and they feel too familiar? You read something written by a stranger and find yourself standing in the midst of it. The moment you recognize yourself there, that recognition reaches back and pins you to the sentence. You cannot move forward because something in you already knows that what is written there was written about you. Your mind arrives a few seconds after your body. What your mind finds waiting is a set of words about a pattern you had carried for years without anyone giving it a name. Then the feelings come, the quiet, sudden kind, the kind that moves through you slowly because the thing that I've been moving deep inside you, unnamed all this time, finally has a name. I can recall that moment twice in my life. Now here's the good part. I was still in the military and I tried a medication for ADHD. Hmm. For the first time, a piece of what I lived what lived inside of inside me had a name. Not the whole of me, the part that I'd been asking for help the longest. The medication found that piece and helped it settle, but underneath it, something else kept moving. Something that wore no label, that ran quiet and unnamed beneath the layer that now had one. The second time came seven years later in 2023. I looked up the symptoms of dyslexia. This is where it gets interesting. I had heard the word before, the way you hear a word that belongs to other people. I had never thought to look it up or to look inside it. Then I read the list, and before I understood why I was crying, the tears were already falling. They kept falling, and I sat there in them for 30 minutes, just unable to stop. What I had not known was waiting on me. Because the list described a person I had been living with for decades. I was reading my own biography written by a stranger. The first symptom said the person can speak their thought with ease but freezes when they try to write it down. I stop scrolling. The second one said they read a sentence and the words slide off. So they read it again. And again. So when the dyslexia list landed the same way, I already knew what to do. I had done it before. I found three moves that changed everything. The page stop being the first place the words went. This is what a system is. A sequence I found, name, and rear if the seek a sequence I found named and rearranged on purpose. You turned you turn your you your turn. Hmm. You're carrying a sequence right now that I've not taken that you have not taken apart yet. What is a sequence you have been running without a name? As you can tell right now, I'm gonna stop here. As you can tell right now, the process of me reading something, you see why I have to read over and over because as I'm looking at the screen right now, there's a there's a skill to reading, and my brain hasn't figured it out the way it's supposed to figure it out. My brain has difficulty just staying following the line, following the the horizontal line, just moving across because sometimes like my brain doesn't work that way, so it's been a very difficult challenge for me. And I've been working on this for a lot of years deliberately now to really get into how do I read something and follow along, but how do I read out loud? And I was very insecure about this. I've been I've been showing you for the last few weeks. I've been very insecure about this because it's been such a difficult thing for me to actually sit and read something out loud for other people. Now I can read stuff for myself, and sometimes I have to read multiple times for me to get it because sometimes my eyes just glass over the words, or I'm I'm I'm projecting words that are not there, and I'm saying things that are not there, and it's been a challenge for my brain. Now you might have some of the same challenge too, you might have it, but either way, I am this I have decided I'm gonna get better at this thing, and with your help and with just coming out loud and just sharing it, you might be a person that's going through some of the same challenges, but we gotta work on getting better because my brain has been programmed a certain way over multiple years, multiple decades to do stuff a certain way. But how do I create new pathways in my own brain to look at things differently? So, this is a weakness, this is an area of a weakness for me. Reading stuff out loud, reading and following the script, follow line. So when you see me do this, I'm developing I'm deliberately doing it because I want to get better at it. Because one of my hero is Earl Nightingale. And if you know Herald Nightingale, you can look him up. But he was um a rated personality way back in the in the mid-1900s, and uh he does he does a really good job at you know putting together his message and reading it from a teleprompter and just delivering it on the radio. I was like, man, I like I like how he does this stuff, and sometimes you wouldn't even know that he's reading the script because he does it so well, and I'm like, oh, inspire me. I want to figure out a way to get as good as that guy, right? But the same thing here, but it's just it's a weakness I discover, and it's something that I'm deliberately doing stuff to kind of figure out. So now here's the newsletter. You can go through it, and I like to include in my newsletter some of my tools right now. Right now, I'm I'm sharing this tool, developmental editing tool right now. I call it my part of my recipe 13 editing suite where help you with development developmental editing. That means you plug it into your system, whatever AI tools you're using. You can help you build the proper skills inside of the system so you can start editing. Same thing. I have this other tool which I worked on, it's called a compass, which kind of like take an idea. You you you you descend into it, you send out of it, you go backwards in the past, you go forward in the future, but it's gonna help you take an idea if you can lock in the thesis and you just play with it, and it works so well. So come check out the newsletter. Room three got more deep, got some, some, some, some, some things in you can use to kind of work on your own strategy. But go check out the newsletter.
