If you ever feel like you're not a creative person don't listen to your inner criticism.

Creativity isn't something you're "Born with' as some people try make you believe.

There is actually simple a 5 step process to creative idea's.

Unless you act insane, you'll settle for the comfortable life and waste your life.

[Niecy O'Keeffe @NiecyOKeeffe]

🎶 So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all 🎶

Good night, Glen and Sláinte. 🥃💚

Bro all you need is 1 year:

1. Athlete's body.
2. Strategist's mind.
3. Soldier's discipline.
4. King's vision.
5. Farmer's patience.
6. Poet's heart.
7. Monk's focus.

But also I wonder what the original song was that was used.

And I wonder how many other shows I’ve watched that didn’t include the intended music for the episode due to streaming and sync licensing

[Karl Hempton 🎥🎬🎙️📻 @KarlHempton]

One thing I really hate about streaming services is their changing of music in shows as due to music sync licensing.

Recently watched an episode of One Tree Hill on Netflix. Season 9 came out in 2009 but a song used in an episode intro was from 2016. Love the new song they used.

Instead of starting at an wall to fix your attention span, this exercise daily. It was developed in the early 1900s by William Walker Atkinson in his book The Power of Concentration. The exercise is called the Sentence Drill.

Read one short sentence from any book, then close it and try to write the sentence down word for word from memory. Once you can do that reliably, move up to two sentences. Then three. Then a small paragraph.

The first time you try it you'll realize how loose your reading actually is. You'll get the gist, but you'll miss exact words, change "and" to "the," skip a comma, swap an order.

This exercise forces you to actually see the words, not just glide over them. Your mind has to hold the exact shape of a sentence long enough to reproduce it.

Do this once or twice a day. Within two weeks you'll feel a significant difference, as it strengthens your attention span, strengthens your memory, and makes you pay more attention to detail, a very rare skill nowadays.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“Do not disturb yourself by imagining your whole life at once.”

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

"What would Jesus do?" is now "What would ChatGPT do?"

JUST IN: Redditor claims he can now “use ChatGPT” in his head & accurately predict what it would say.

Underrated life hacks:
- pray first thing every morning, last thing every night
- always keep an open notebook and pen within sight
- halve the amount time you allot yourself to read books & do your work
- extend your vision out by 5-10 years, then reverse engineer to present
- every time you catch yourself worrying, immediately surrender it to God
- never stop learning, ever, no matter what
- recognize no one is stopping you more than yourself
