Jaiden is 11, Jensyn is 8, and I&#8217;ve recorded fantastic moments all the back to infancy (though, admittedly, more of Jaiden then Jensyn). It was great and I sent a few around to friends and family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I showed up in a video or two and as I scrolled back I noticed how much younger I looked. Hearing myself talk in one of the oldest videos seemed like listening to someone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had a conversation with my brother Joshua today and over the course of our chat we traced the history of our work together, back to our late teenager years and early twenties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also took a moment to re-read <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.jonathanwold.com\/first-entry\/\">my first blog post entry<\/a> today, which is over 16 years old now. (Sidenote: I love WordPress, it&#8217;s so fantastic to have a history on the Open Web, warts and all, that&#8217;s there and it&#8217;s mine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing in particular that I know has changed, besides the beard, is I&#8217;ve become more accepting of myself. I&#8217;ve got a long track record of giving myself a hard time. You can see it in that first post and in quite a few others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not too long ago, I would have looked back with at least a degree of shame at my younger self in those videos and blog posts. So naive, so certain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Books like <em>Daring Greatly<\/em> and <em>The Four Agreements<\/em>, conversations with <a href=\"https:\/\/danirukin.com\">my coach<\/a>, and tools like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.positiveintelligence.com\">Positive Intelligence<\/a><\/em> have helped me see myself differently and, consequently, change how I see others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I look back, I&#8217;m grateful for who I&#8217;ve been at each step of the journey. Open, even as I&#8217;ve been uncertain, sincere, even when I&#8217;ve been misguided, and committed to learning and growing, especially when it&#8217;s been hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I&#8217;m grateful for the folks who have accepted me for who I was, who I&#8217;ve always been, and who I am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s to reflecting and I look forward to reflecting again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took a moment today to look back at videos of my kids over the years.
