Success it's not about the money you have, it's about how passionate you feel about what you are doing right now.

We don’t see as many rom-coms these days bc they’re afraid they’ll never top this scene

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

2. Desde pequeños, aprendemos a vernos a nosotros mismos a través de dos tipos de amor esenciales:

-El amor de madre: incondicional, que te acepta tal como eres.
-El amor de padre: disciplinario, que te impulsa a crecer y enfrentar retos.

Pero ¿qué si uno de ellos faltó? 👇

[Just Alex @Es_AlexG]

5. ¿Y si faltaron ambos? 🥺

Podrías sentirte perdido, desconfiado o incapaz de manejar la vida.

Pero la buena noticia es que, como adultos, podemos aprender a darnos el amor que nos faltó. 👇

1. Alguna vez te has preguntado ¿Por qué algunas personas buscan ser perfectas mientras que otras evitan responsabilidades? 🤔

La respuesta podría estar en algo que recibiste (o no) en tu infancia… pero que sigue afectándote hoy. 🧵👇

TL;DR:
The American Academy could lift up U.S. education, boost job skills, close regional gaps, and support lifelong learning. A true investment in the future, this could make quality education a reality for everyone.

🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP: AMERICAN ACADEMY – FREE EDUCATION, NO NEW DEBT

“[American Academy’s] mission will be to make a world-class education available to every American, free of charge, without adding a single dime to the federal debt.”

🧵 Donald Trump announced a plan to create the American Academy—a new type of school designed to give ALL Americans access to a high-quality education, completely FREE. No matter your background, this could be a game-changer for the entire U.S. education system. 👇

6. Reducing the Burden of Student Debt
Free education means fewer loans. Instead of starting adulthood with debt, people could focus on their careers and futures with skills they didn’t have to borrow money to learn.
