#MichaelSinger formula for success…

..do whatever is put in front of you with all your heart and soul — without regard for personal results. Do the work as if it was given to you by the universe itself. Because it was.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

Let’s respect how unbelievably sophisticated our body is, learn from it, and make better decisions because of it.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

Who are you when you stop reacting and start choosing?

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

Your life is an ecosystem.

And ecosystems don’t thrive because they accept everything.

They thrive because they develop healthy boundaries about what belongs inside them and what doesn’t.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

Become obsessed with:

integrity,
long-term relationships,
reputation,
truth,
accountability.

Not because those are fashionable values.

Because you will learned the hard way what happens when they’re missing.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

If you believe we are divine,

the first few minutes of the day

are for remembering who you are.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

A mediocre person with integrity is often more valuable than a brilliant person without it.

Not always.

But surprisingly often.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

There’s a difference between:

teaching from unresolved chaos

and

teaching from active integration.

That’s credible.

In fact, sometimes the person still inside the process is more useful because the terrain is fresh.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

Voice is not found before expression.

Voice is found through expression.

You don’t discover voice in isolation.

You discover it in repetition.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

unsolicited insight can feel like pressure to people who aren’t ready.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

At a certain stage of your life >>
behavior is chosen or tolerated by the person living it, nothing is accidental, and “i didn’t know better” is no longer a valid excuse. You know. You just have decided to handle things differently.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

awareness solidifies experience.

This holiday season will be chaos. UPS/DHL/FedEx are charging Floridians fake duties on items that owe zero and holding packages hostage. CBP shows $0. We need oversight now.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

@RepMariaSalazar I’m a Miami Beach constituent asking for oversight. @UPS @DHLGlobal @FedEx charging duties on packages when CBP shows $0. This loophole will hurt thousands for holidays. Please investigate.

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

@DHLGlobal & @UPS are charging “duties” on items that owe ZERO, giving consumers the runaround until they give up. No one is protecting consumers from these shipping companies. Where is the oversight? @CBP @FTC @USTreasury @NBCNews @WSJ @CNN @nytimes @HagensBerman @LieffCabraser

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

@DHLGlobal & @UPS are wearing consumers down with endless runarounds charging “duties” on items that owe ZERO + holding packages hostage. It’s a #racket. Where is the oversight? @CBP @FTC @USTreasury @NBCNews @WSJ @CNN @nytimes @HagensBerman @MorganLewisLaw @LieffCabraser

@DHLGlobal & @UPS are wearing consumers down with endless runarounds customer service loops, no answers, and “duties” on items that owe ZERO. They hold packages hostage until you give up. It’s a racket. Where is the oversight? @CBP @FTC @USTreasury @NBCNews @WSJ @CNN @nytimes

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

@DHLGlobal & @UPS are now charging “duties” on $0 samples + vintage that legally owe nothing — and holding packages hostage until you pay. Zero oversight. Who is protecting consumers? @CBP @USTreasury @FTC @NBCNews @CNN @WSJ @nytimes @FoxBusiness

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

@DHLGlobal & @UPS are exploiting the removal of the $800 exemption charging “duties” on $0 samples + vintage that legally owe nothing. If you don’t pay, they hold your package hostage and ignore emails for days. Who is protecting consumers? @CBP @USTreasury @FTC @USDOT

[Astrid Soto @AstridSoto]

People talk about #healing like it’s this forever process. But what really happens is that once you turn inward and slow down, you start to realize how much there is to listen to. Your body’s been talking to you all along and you are finally learning the language of you.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
