XC skiing is hard to beat... ⛷️
* Low/no impact (assuming you don't run into a 🌲😊) permits big training volumes ✅
* Whole body (trains arms and legs) ✅
* Standing/Weight bearing (full ROM and less bone density issues than cycling) 🧍 ✅
* Sufficient strength demand that you can't get too skinny. 💪 ✅
* Hills so you can't get too heavy. 🗻 ✅
* Massive aerobic demands - highest VO2max of any sport. 🫀✅
One of my favorite ancient proverbs:
He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey.
He who blames himself is halfway there.
He who blames no one has arrived.
I think it accurately describes the journey to personal and spiritual growth:
Level 1: Negative events cause us to look outward at how the world is against us.
Level 2: Negative events cause us to look inward at how we might have controlled or better handled a situation.
Level 3: Events are no longer judged as positive or negative, but are just allowed to exist.
Most of us never reach Level 3. We spend most of our lives in some mix of Level 1 and 2.
There is so much power to be found in freeing your mind from the need to judge.
In allowing events to exist without the application of a narrative layer.
The Paradox of Change says that the only constant in life is change.
Entropy is reality.
It’s the one thing you can always count on—the only constant.
Embrace chaos—be dynamic, flow with it, and avoid judging it.

Something I taught 9 yo: If you're a writer, you'll always have something interesting to do even when you're stuck somewhere boring, like waiting in line. You can think of what you're going to write next.
@pantelisak Hey there, I'm looking for a great senior designer, so any on your team are still looking, please send them my way. Here's the job desc: https://t.co/SmtHxdxf6S
You always have two choices:
#1 - Live the life you want to live
#2 - Live the life others want you to live
Don't expect to be happy if you choose #2.
Sounds painstakingly obvious, but most people still choose #2. Don't be most people.
To be clear, immigrants, legal or not, are people who want to improve their lives. To refer to them as animals or insects is to foster hate. What’s happening in Washington and on our border is sad, wrong, and unamerican.
