I was on a yacht with my daughter thinking about how the first time I ever got on a plane I was 18 years old. First time traveling internationally I was 23. First time on a yacht I was 27.
My daughter has experienced all of those things before she can even fully form memories.
It made me think about how humanity hasn’t really dealt with generational shifts at this scale until the last couple generations. A child can now grow up with a completely different psychological baseline than their parents in just one generation.
What once felt rare or almost fictional to me may just feel normal to her. And even after doing well financially for close to a decade now, I still sometimes catch myself referencing older survival frameworks mentally.
But there are strengths that came with those frameworks too. Resourcefulness, gratitude, patience, hunger, etc.
Maybe the hardest part of generational success is making sure the children inherit the access without losing the perspective that created it.
Now you have people with standards built around lifestyles they’ve never actually been around.
They don’t live that life, don’t have family living that life, don’t have friends living that life, and don’t personally know anybody living that life, yet they’ve normalized it in their mind because they scroll past it every day.
Now they’re unknowingly operating from a place of standards around lifestyles they’re not even equipped to attract, let alone maintain.
You know until like 20 years ago folks only had their small town of classmates & coworkers to look at 😭 you couldn’t compare them to your explore tab on IG. They are attractive because you are attracted to them. They just aren’t ig models
@Emmachuuks Most people are not lacking supplements, they are lacking consistency. A simple routine done hard for months beats fancy powders almost every time.
If you're 42. Instead of regretting that you can't wake up age 18 again, pretend to yourself that you're 92 and you've woken up age 42 again, and that you get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again.

Beyonce being the only one still ruling the top of the charts and packing stadiums makes me deeply depressed. We were supposed to have an army of divas!
Ok this is a hill I will die on: the perfect career is Kyle Lowry.
You get the experience of being a superstar, but you aren't so iconic that you can't exist in public. Beloved in a single city. Unknown in most of the world. Won a title. Won a gold medal. Made money. Did it all.
In 50 years or so I think color and whimsy will come back because all the people alive during the invention of tech who idealized a clean white sanitized sci-fi movie future will be dead. The youth of the future will “discover” color and texture themselves and it will feel new.
Rush Hour 2 isn’t just the best sequel ever.
It’s the last time Hollywood made two completely different cultures hilarious together without a single lecture.
Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan carried the 2000s on their backs. Modern comedies could never. 🔥

If you grew up in the '90s or '00s you were constantly hearing about it since grade school. They had us sit in assemblies in middle & high school telling us we all needed to go to college and corralling us to apply, or else we'd never find work. This is insane revisionism:
