Hope in God is not merely wishing things would turn out well; it is a powerful force that produces breakthroughs when we diligently hold on to it. #JoyceQuote

I think about this twice a day.

Every morning when I sit down to read & again when I begin to work, I say to myself,

“Accept the initial agitation.”

When you try to focus, Andrew Huberman explains, “the brain circuits that turn on first are of the stress system.”

Meaning:

“The agitation and stress that you feel at the beginning of something—when you’re trying to lean into it and you can’t focus: you feel agitated and your mind’s jumping all over the place—that is just a gate. You have to pass through that gate to get to the focus component.”

There’s a common misconception, @hubermanlab continues: “the misunderstanding around how these brain circuits work has led to this idea...a kind of obsession with the idea that we have to feel good in order to be productive.”

“And nothing could be further from the truth.”

The truth is it’s the reverse: we have to be productive—we have to start working, we have to lean in and get going, accepting the initial agitation—in order to feel good.

So along with “accept the initial agitation,” sometimes—when I don’t feel especially good, motivated, interested, or energized—I say to myself,

“Forget how you feel right now.”

“It will feel good,” Huberman says, “but there’s a whole staircase in which it feels kind of lousy...The early stages of hard work and focus are always going to feels like agitation, stress, and confusion.”

“Remember: there’s a gate of entry. You have to wade through some sewage before you can swim in clear water. That’s the way I always think about it.”

People get me in their lives and their lives instantly change, they level up. You can always tell when I’ve exited their lives.

My influence and energy is so strong.

There is a beautiful thing called “walking with God” — It is where your heart is quiet, simple, sincere and throughout the day you are in dialogue with God, like a friend, asking questions, flow with guidance, sharing concerns, appreciating blessings, all in a gentle exchange.

2025 will be a year for the lovers, the emotionally intelligent, the underdogs, the believers, the doers, the ones with integrity and the ones who maintain good character throughout.
