This is one of the most famous paintings in America, and most people have no idea what they are actually looking at...

The painting is Christina's World, made by Andrew Wyeth in 1948, and the woman was real: her name was Anna Christina Olson, Wyeth's neighbour in Cushing, Maine. Since childhood a degenerative condition had slowly taken the strength from her legs, until walking was no longer possible. She refused a wheelchair, and for her entire adult life she chose to drag herself across the ground with her arms instead, going wherever she wanted to go under her own power.

Wyeth saw her one afternoon from an upstairs window, alone in that vast field, crawling slowly toward the house on the hill. He said the painting was an attempt to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless. Her world, he said, was limited physically but by no means spiritually.

That is what turns this painting from a portrait of frailty into one of the most triumphant images ever made...

Look at it long enough and it stops being about what her body took from her, and becomes about what she would not stop doing anyway. The field is enormous and she is small and the house is far away, and still she goes, because the alternative, to be carried, to give up, to let the distance win, was something she simply would not accept.

There is one more thing: Christina loved this painting. Pink was her favorite color, and Wyeth had placed her exactly where she most wanted to be, out in the open, in her own field, under her own sky. Late in her life, when she could no longer even crawl out to that field, she said something that holds the whole meaning of art inside it:

"Andy put me where he knew I wanted to be. Now that I can’t be there anymore, all I do is think of that picture, and I’m there."

Some moral blackmail people (some rich and powerful) have tried on me: "It's the right thing to do," re: their pet issue. I always reply with, "Opposing censorship was the right thing to do and where were you?" Don't try the high road if you didn't take it when it counted.

Train yourself to remain calm when everyone else is losing their minds.

You need to think bigger.

It's not just about losing 10 lbs, trying a new diet, getting a new job...

You can completely change the course of your life.

You can say f**k it, start your own business, make income anywhere, move to a remote beach town, start a family, raise babies, build a community, totally free yourself of the machine.

This is the point of getting healthy...not just feeling 10% better, but totally redesigning your life, becoming your freest, happiest, most loving self.

Ask: Is this actually making me feel better? Is this actually relieving any of the symptoms I wish were gone?

real beauty is from a persons character

the original looksmaxxing is just being a good person, and quieting your mind.

no amount of plastic surgery or fakery can ever cover an evil character

Worried about microplastics and BPA? Eat yogurt and fermented food.

Lactobacillus acidophilus from yogurt reduces BPA levels 82%

Other probiotics are able to bind and excrete microplastics in the gut.

Bacteria will save us.

Yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut >>

Most people don’t quit because they failed.
They quit because they finally understood the cost of continuing.
