"Quiet volunteers... Reachin' out to help their fellow man." Lyrics about the best part of bein' country. The country I remember growing up. Midwestern values back then. That's the "greatness" I miss. May we always be great in that way: being good people. https://t.co/ZPhQ9ZdyhN

It’s ok to love your county and fly the flag.

It’s ok to care about your neighbors and not care what color, religion, or political party they are.

It’s ok to believe we are better together than divided as Americans.

The division is a mental game.

My grandfather told me this: "You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary." You can get pretty damn far in life by just being someone that people can count on to show up and do the work. I'll never forget that.

According to Feng Shui, the mess in your house isn't random. It's a map of where the energy is stuck in your life.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens”, says the Lord in the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 11:25–30). Jesus takes upon himself humanity wounded by evil in order to heal and care for it.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“Do not disturb yourself by imagining your whole life at once.”

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

You can get back at everyone whoever wronged you, wanted you to fail, or held you down by simply being happy.

There is nothing that makes an adversary feel more powerless than you just continuing to live your life as though they never affected it, because they never did.

“The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.”

— Voltaire

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The net effect of this decision is political parties will have more power over individual candidates. When elections are over, winning candidates will feel more obligated to vote with their parties instead of their constituents.

Fewer Thomas Massies and Ro Khannas, more zombies.

Major cheat code for life: Knowing when something is not yours to fix. Their mood. Their choices. Their drama. Love people, support people, but stop carrying what was never yours to hold.

Major cheat code in life: One priority per day. Not three. Not five. One. Pick the single thing that, if completed, makes the day a win regardless of what else happens.
Protect two hours for it. Most people go entire weeks without finishing anything that actually matters because everything feels equally urgent.

Fred Rogers received 50 to 100 letters every single day.

Many came from children who were carrying fears too heavy for their age. Some wrote about loneliness. Some wrote about divorce, sickness, death, or things they didn’t know how to say out loud.

And Mr. Rogers answered them.

Every morning, he woke up early, prayed, and made time for those letters. Not because it was good publicity. Not because he had to. But because he believed every child deserved to feel seen.

He didn’t treat kindness like a performance.

He treated it like a responsibility.

That is why, long after the cameras stopped rolling, people still remember him as more than a television host.

They remember him as a man who made strangers feel like they mattered.

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

There is an African Proverb that I love:

“A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.”

Meaning: To achieve greatness, you must let go of old habits that could hold back your progress.

“Without commitment, you will never start. Without consistency, you will never finish.”

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A mentor told me this: Learn the difference between peace and avoidance. Peace is choosing not to fight battles that don’t matter. Avoidance is refusing to face the battles that do. Real wisdom is having awareness of which one you’re doing in the moment. I’ll never forget that.

Ouah ! Les abeilles sont incroyables !!

Saviez-vous que l'une des premières pièces du monde avait un symbole d'abeille ?
Saviez-vous que le miel contient des enzymes vivantes ?
Saviez-vous qu'au contact d'une cuillère en métal, ces enzymes meurent ? La meilleure façon de manger du miel est avec une cuillère en bois ; si vous n'en trouvez pas, utilisez une cuillère en plastique.
Saviez-vous que le miel contient une substance qui aide le cerveau à mieux fonctionner ?
Saviez-vous que le miel est l'un des rares aliments sur terre qui seul peut soutenir la vie humaine ?
Saviez-vous que les abeilles sauvaient les gens de la famine en Afrique ?
Qu'une cuillère de miel suffit pour garder un homme en vie pendant 24 heures ?
Saviez-vous que la propolis produite par les abeilles est l'un des antibiotiques naturels les plus puissants ?
Saviez-vous que le miel n'a pas de date d'expiration ?
Saviez-vous que les corps des plus grands empereurs du monde étaient enterrés dans des cercueils d'or, puis couverts de miel pour éviter la putréfaction ?
Saviez-vous que le terme « lune de miel » (lune de miel) vient du fait que les mariés ont consommé du miel pour leur fertilité après leur mariage ?
Saviez-vous qu'une abeille vit moins de 40 jours, visite au moins 1000 fleurs et produit moins qu'une cuillère à café de miel, mais pour elle c'est l'œuvre de toute une vie.
merci précieuses abeilles !

A reminder from The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins:

“You have a beautiful and amazing life to live. You have potential beyond your imagination. You are not limited by where you live, or the circumstances you are facing, or the aspects of your life that you believe are limitations.

If you can be honest with yourself about what you truly want, and take responsibility for creating it, you will. You don't have to be special. You just have to get up every day, put one foot in front of the other, and work hard to do a little better, and be a little better, than you were yesterday. And one of these days, you are going to wake up and realize that you not only changed yourself, but you are in the middle of living the life you were once jealous of.”

Só sei que quanto mais velho fico, mais eu entendo por que as pessoas se refugiam na culinária, na arte, na música, na jardinagem, nos livros e em vidas tranquilas.

Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you'll regret. Slow down to speed up.
