In my newsletter, I share some of my most random, funny, and oddly deep shower thoughts — those fleeting ideas that pop into your head when you’re zoning out, while the water is running. From hilarious observations to surprisingly profound insights, these bits of writing are just thoughts from my mind in a calm, relaxing place. Here are some shower thoughts that I came up myself, summed up in one place. Enjoy the randomness:
Deep shower thoughts
I.
In today’s world, only a few things are pursued solely for their own sake. Playing piano, writing a short story, or other leisure activities should be ends in itself, rather than means to some practical result.

We often want to control the pace at which life unfolds, but being okay with uncertainty—and not having all the answers—can actually be the quickest and most effective way to solve problems.

Let kids enjoy their toys, express their quirks, get muddy, and experience failure in a safe way. Above all, give them the freedom to explore every corner of their small world so they can grow into adults who have learned to value and appreciate each stage of their life.

The things we do with our time are only worth doing if they’re going to be remembered hundreds years from now. Just lift this huge weight from your shoulders. We’re all relatively insignificant. It frees you up to just do it.

I.
Cellphones are not only addictive, they are designed to be addictive.

II.
You’re always at the perimeter of your ability. You’re always moving out into territory you don’t know about. Be a beginner again in that area. Become comfortable with being one as you need this skill in every step along the way.

III.
Pretty much nothing is gonna come in the timeframe you imagined it. The universe has it own plan, you have your plan… all we can do is just put one foot in front of the other.

IV.
Advice is brittle and context-dependent. Someone can give you a profound piece of advice, but if it doesn’t fit your situation it can actually be counterproductive. True wisdom is not just in the advice, but in how it fits your own life.
