(Still) Letting Go of My Hair

Prefer to listen? I recorded a full audio version for members inside Invisible World.

Friend, let’s continue our practice this week of letting go:

As a senior in high school, I won “Best Hair”. I spent a lot of time on it🪞💇‍♂️ 

I saw my 3 older brothers thinning, and I knew I’d inevitably follow those bald genes.

At least I lived it up!

There was this one kid, never knew his name, we ran in different circles.

But I noticed him.

A free spirit kid who wore a 3-piece suit one day, and the next day a wife-beater tee with gold chains. Did back flips in the plaza. Cut class for mission critical opportunities like prying candy out of the vending machine.

He grew out his hair. Big shaggy fro look.

It’s so clear. I still see him.

I walked down the hall, a big crowd circled him and boom there it was » My biggest fear. His new haircut » The ‘horseshoe’ balding ring.

He was a 17-year-old with old man wisdom . . . and hairdo.

I Wish I could’ve handed him my framed ‘Best Hair’ certificate and traded for his freedom. The kind that forged in his Invisible World, not reliant on his external hair.

I spent the rest of my senior year with my fear hiding behind my gelled ‘Best Hair’ and a few years later, behind the Propecia bottle.

🎵 Conceal don’t feel … don’t let them know 🎶 

Hmm.

Could you imagine the exchange with this guy and the Target cashier??🍿 

Back then, I thought the kid was just some ‘free spirit’ . . . and now decades later, I’m trying to be one.

100? What will I do with my hair? Fine 100:

I’ll probably buzz it. Because I’m not sure I can truly—Let It Go.

Friend, what about you huh? Where do you hide and grip tighter, seeking control instead of alignment?

Join Invisible World where we discuss and explore what’s truly possible.

Mind 🤯 

An old article described it as “an iconic, gloriously unkempt explosion of white hair”

Einstein’s hair wasn’t just hair — it was a symbol of:

• not caring about social constructs

• prioritizing inner mastery

• letting the world adjust to him, not the other way around

Friend, I’ve heard he is a smart cookie.

How do you think this guy spent his thought currency?
