1000+ hours of meditation, even more in MS Office |

I write about poetry and meditation to bring stillness to your feed.

@Mindsetfx Ok but what stock did he buy

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

In relationships, skills, dreams, healing, money, content, health...

You do not have to be good to begin.
But you must begin to be good.

@hustlin_heev Thanks for sharing your story man. Inspiring and appreciate the honest and depth. Rooting for you!

@bryan_johnson Repetition rewires.

@tferriss Yes, but often the same things are the answers to both questions 🙃 and that's the real hard part of life.

There is rarely a huge driver of happiness without requiring an acceptance of corresponding pain.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

We are rarely where we are. And then we wonder where the time went.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

@bryan_johnson It's your brain itching. You can't be present because something itches. You don't know how to scratch it but worry, fear, fixation, dopamine - those feel close to comfort.

But you only keep spiraling.

Meditation phases
1 - Cool, this helps me focus better!
2 - I don't really get as mad at things, that's interesting
3 - Hard things don't feel as overwhelming
4 - I can enjoy all the moments, I'm here.

Life is short - find ways to be there for it.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

Listen to that call for change in your gut. The one that rejects today's inertia like you ate an old piece of cheese.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

3/3 Don't hold your dreams so tightly. Gentleness enables clarity. Clarity enables good action. Good action enables your future.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

1/3 Feelings are hard when you're a bit lost.
Anger, fear, worry, comparison feel productive.
At least you're rejecting your circumstances?

But you know what you want. You don't need to wade into the mess to reinforce it. You're taking action. The rest is just distraction.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

2/3 And worse - a waste of mind.

Do the hard thing. Be grateful even though you're not there yet. Be present even though there are parts of the present you're pushing away from. Be kind to yourself even when you resent your past decisions.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

@TihoBrkan Thanks for all the insights and measured thinking Tiho.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

The gap between what you do and what you think, is unhappiness.

Be present for the process.
Be present for the pain.

That's the only way you'll eventually be present for the prize.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

@ShaanVP @thesamparr Also thank you both for your recent pivot back to the scrappy 0 to 1 type of content that is super inspiring and relatable. 🔥

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

Reminder: underneath the noise, you know exactly what need to do.

Progress is hard, slow, and beautiful.

Distraction is fast, feels good, and leaves you empty.

Choose.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

@TihoBrkan Thanks for all the value add on here over the years Tiho.

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

@TihoBrkan I think you meant capitulate Tiho haha. I both got investment value (as usual with your posts) and comedy value from this one 😄

[Carl @_CarlMoos]

@thedankoe Thank you as always for what I wanted to hear today 💪🏽

@MatznerJon Most of the time, the happiest people are the ones you don't hear from in public.

The ones you do, are usually selling something.
