Good Morning Milwaukee.
For many of us… our happiness, our mental health, our ambitions and motivation is predicated on the things we can’t control. Every morning that I wake up, I feel so blessed to be alive… Not everyone gets to say that - to wake up the next day. And each day we are fortunate to wake up, to participate in this world - no matter the circumstances or scenarios, the wins and losses, the one thing YOU get to control that no one can ever take away from you, is how YOU CHOOSE participate in this world.
Every day I ensconce myself in empathy, sympathy and compassion for others… I find purpose and catharsis in making people laugh, holding a door, saying hello, using my blinker and celebrating a city that has given me so much. That is my truth, and it’s a truth that gives me peace, purpose, power and solace - no matter what changes, I get to CONTROL that.
The older we get, and the more the veil of life is pulled down, the more we are exposed to the trials and tribulations of life - and the compounding interest of that can feel paralyzing at times. But life is long, and is filled with “W’s” and “L’s” and it’s not about how you celebrate to the wins, it’s about how you respond to the losses - wether you loose your job, you lose a loved one, you loose the big game, your car gets repossessed (like mine did 15 years ago) or anything in between.
At times it feels like the world is caving in, other times it feels like the universe is expanding… this is the human experience for all of us, so I empower you to approach each day you wake up with optimism instead of cynicism, empathy over apathy and most importantly love not hate.
We can’t control most things, but we CAN control US.
Elon Musk: We’re gonna hide the ability for users to see what tweets other users like
Also Elon Musk: You can’t Block people anymore
What that boils down to is people are now free to like the most volatile tweets without consequence and spread volatility without consequence.
“You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough” - Mae West
I’ve lived by this mantra my entire life. It’s tattooed on my arm. I believe it. I think about it every day I wake up.
