On funerals, loss, grief, friendship, and support:
It's not about knowing what to say. It's about being there when nobody knows what to say. The only thing people need to hear is, "You are not alone." And that doesn't require words. It just requires your presence.
“Greatness is not the absence of humility; it is the absence of apathy. Just as you can be famous and not be great, you can be great and not famous.” @erwinmcmanus
Adversity, discomfort, struggles, difficulties, challenges, hardships, setbacks - these are gifts in your youth .. it helps you learn how to adjust, deal with, be adaptable and learn how to get inner-strength, for the best of the bunch it makes them so resilient & creates a inner love ❤️ that becomes unbearable - it’s how you actually build the purest form of confidence… and yet the last 30 years of parenting and societial norms have demonized “losing” … this video really matters to me .. it will lead to more people understanding this deep truth and ultimately mean that some young children today will end up happier versus more confused and indifferent! Pls share this with a parent that has a “competitive kid” … IT DOES MATTER - that’s the point! LIFES A GAME - the sooner you learn how to deal with losing the better - and the worst way to deal with losing is by believing “it doesn’t matter” 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑✅❤️
@hubermanlab On the last Modern Wisdom episode you were on, you recommended lifting 3X per week and running 3X per week. You recommended one short distance run, one medium distance run, and one long distance run. What constitutes as short, medium, and long?
Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. Take the lessons with you and release the guilt.
Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now.
Be flexible with your future self. There are many paths to success. You don't need life to be a certain way to live well.
“A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.”
