We need more artists, more listeners, more lovers

The hip hop that I grew up loving had a good run. And if we’re being honest, it probably ended around 2015.

To Pimp a Butterfly may have been the last great hip hop album.

A lot of good albums came out after that, but the era was over

The greatest gift I can give myself is to be deeply rooted in my body.

As I say to my 4yr old, “feel your body on the inside”

Can we finally put to rest the unspoken belief that shame is good for us?

That’s like saying distrusting ourselves and suppressing ourselves is good for us

If we’re not talking about connection and vulnerability,
what are we talking about?

Fear plays a huge role in our day-to-day lives

It’s easy to see in others but almost impossible to see it fully in ourselves

Discipline is often thought about as something that requires an intense amount of effort.

It’s actually just reducing distractions to make way for the things that nourish us

[Az @AthroughZ__]

Discipline has lost its meaning. And will-power doesn’t resonate

Any major habit change I’ve made came from a subconscious decision that I can’t grasp.

I assume the way to change your habits is through intentionally influencing your subconscious

@__mike91 This is really interesting. Where'd you get this data?

Every day brings challenges that can completely knock us down and suck the air out of us.

What is beautiful is that this is universal, this is human.

This is also what makes us better. We learn how to heal, how to grieve, how to give grace

The misconception is that the world is here to make you happy, and it can’t do that

It’s not here to make you happy

It’s here to make you conscious, to awaken you

@mattragland This is super inspiring. My daughter is two and a half and I still haven’t figured out a balanced schedule. This is helping me see what’s possible
