What I am still learning from Twitter Math Camp

Here's what I have learned and am still learning from the birth, life cycle, and death of Twitter Math Camp.

1. Begin with an abundance mindset. See your own blessings. 

2. Create wonderful things.

3. Don’t be afraid to create new wonderful things.

4. Share them. Be generous. Give without expecting anything in return.

5. Search for what you need/want.

6. If you don’t find what you need/want, reach out.

7. If you still can’t find what you need/want, create it.

8. If you get stuck, ask for support.

9. Try your best to avoid giving in to negativity. 

10. Don’t let other people’s scarcity mindsets stop you from creating wonderful things. 

11. Don’t be afraid to get criticism, but don’t let it shut you down either. People’s opinions are just their opinions. Even if they are opinions from the most righteous and celebrated human beings in our world, they can still be wrong. In no case were they carried down on stone tablets from Mount Sinai.

12. If people insist on killing off what you have created or loved, grieve your losses; then dust yourself off and create something new.

13. Remember to check in from time to time with step 1.

14. Remember that all organisms have a natural life cycle. Things are born, they flourish, and they die. It’s not the end of the world. Something new will arise in its place.

15. Keep creating new and wonderful things that nourish your soul until we finish healing the world.
