Everyone’s got an unfair advantage, whether it’s their looks, the way they think, or the family they were born into, so competition is always unfair even when opportunities are equal. Much of success depends on leaning into the unfair advantages you have rather than what you lack
This guy walking around Costco shares examples of food inflation that are WAY higher than the numbers reported for food inflation by the government.
🔊 ... 😡
Overall, many people know intuitively that food inflation is way higher than the official number of 4.3% from August 2022 thru August 2023. This video shows some of the examples he is seeing.

A core parenting belief of mine:
One of the most important things we can do for our kids is help them learn the power of their imaginations
But you have to contend with the constant onslaught of overstimulating screens
Here's 2 ways we beat screens:
First: reading, every day, no exceptions
In addition to the obvious benefits of being a strong reader, stories in books help open up the imagination and broaden our kids' worlds.
They expand their ideas of what's possible. My advice is start the reading habit as early as possible, and let your kids see you reading as often as you can
Second: audio stories
As an alternative to screens, we listen to audio stories (I even create one for 3-8 year olds that I'll link in a follow-up post). We listen to them together with our oldest son. You can SEE him engaging with the audio in a way he never does with screens. You can see his brain working. You can see him filling in the blanks in his mind.
Whereas if he was just watching a screen, there are no blanks to fill in. No imagining, no envisioning. Just consuming.
"Imagination rules the world"
- Napoleon Bonaparte
This quote is more powerful than people realize
It's impossible to build anything if you can't first imagine it
Everything ever created by man first existed in someone's imagination
Imagination is a muscle. And too much screen time just atrophies it.
No longer matching energy—I’m maintaining my own. You either meet me where I’m at, or not at all. I’m not going to dim myself down to meet you at a place I’ve grown from. I wish you the best though.
start focusing your energy on getting better, you start feeling better, you start looking better & you even start attracting better, everything changes

honor your most difficult seasons. accept your lowest moments. release all forms of shame and guilt attached to your shortcomings. practice radical acceptance of everything in this world that’s out of your control. love yourself, always.
Please make some time soon to be real with yourself about why you are hesitant to move in your purpose.
You know what you are supposed to be doing. Time to get honest with yourself about why you refuse to move.
If lack of money is your answer, you're playing yourself.
