I’m begging you to kill your fear of being seen. Visibility is your birthright, People need to know you. Infact, treat showing up as putting out data that will help your people find you. You’re not showing up to and for everybody, you’re showing up to and for your people!
There is a Japanese Legend that says:
"Whether it's a machine, a house, or a relationship. Maintenance is always cheaper than repairing." What you don't maintain, you eventually lose.
Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.
Adopting a "do it right now" mentality has done wonders for my organization & discipline. Something on the floor? Grab it right now. Thinking about cooking later?Cook right now. Laundry finished? Put them up right now. Home from a trip?Unpack right then. It's the small things.
I regret to inform you that staying off of social media, exercising every day, and spending a little time organizing the messiest parts of your house does, in fact, do wonders for your mental health
Yo no soy petrista, pero día en que el proyecto petrista tenga encima 6.402 muchachos asesinados por las FFMM, compre la reelección, generalice las OPS, llene el congreso de paras, desmovilice un frente falso de la guerrilla, chuce a la oposición con el DAS, etc., comparamos
Going to leave you with this tonight:
The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you.
Go outside, travel more, go to new cafes, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests.
You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
Night gang.
There’s a Japanese saying:
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”
A razón del Estatuto de Seguridad del gobierno de Julio César Turbay, un desconocido (que firmó con el seudónimo Ayatolá) acusó a Gabriel García Márquez de tener nexos con el M19, por esto tuvo que exiliarse en México desde 1981 para tristemente nunca regresar al país
Trump is just the trigger.
There are deep historical forces:
The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries.
People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry.
They should be angry at Republicans.
But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.
