@Courage_wins I found Ondas at $0.85 and been around since. Companies are either destined for greatness or failure largely by who’s leading it, in this case Eric. 40% of the weight thinks he won’t be able to pull it off. I’d love to see him and the company succeed. Only stating the obvious.

[Dr. Lee Warren @brainmindlife]

Your brain doesn’t know what time it is. Every time you replay that conversation from last year, that mistake from last month, that moment you wish you could take back from yesterday, your brain treats it like it’s happening right now. Same stress chemicals. Same alarm bells. You’re not remembering it. You’re reliving it, on a loop you built yourself.

That's because of two things: your brain doesn't know the difference between what's really happening and what you're just imagining, and neuroplasticity means that your brain automates things that you think about and turns them into programs that it runs without you having to think about them next time.

So, the more you rehearse something from the past or something you're just imagining, the more your brain builds out a reality as if that thing is still here right now.

The ninth Commandment of self brain surgery is, "I must believe that what I'm doing I'm getting better at." That means if you're doing things with your mind that are making your brain better at living in the past or worrying about imaginary outcomes, you're getting better at feeling worse. So knock it off.

Here’s the shift: you can’t edit the past, but you can stop rehearsing it. Every replay is a rehearsal, and your brain gets better at whatever you rehearse. Let's make neuroplasticity work for us and not against us.

We call that self-brain surgery. It's not easy at first, it's hard and holy work. But remember, you get better at whatever you repeatedly do

Philippians 3:13 says it like this: forget what lies behind and strain towards what lies ahead. Not denying it happened, but refusing to keep performing it. There's better stuff in the future, but not if you keep building a brain that lives in the past.

Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this for the next time your mind hits replay. Share it with someone stuck on a loop.

For some of us who are NOT into being wrapped up or form part of the social media graph from the likes of Meta, @noahrshinn and Instinct Ai is working just great me at the moment. Wishing them good fortune and many blessings. Stay focused and Keep shipping.

@velez_david @SebastianNohra Tasa de usura, cobros de debito, 4x1,000, cobro de cajero. Cuantos mas cobros? El mismo sistema de Colombia que quiere ayudar al ciudadano Colombiano, lo deja limpio. Como extranjero vivo cierto parte de mi tiempo en CO, a mi no me perjudica, a ellos si. Rompan ese patron.

@michaelaolaya @realDonaldTrump We don’t know if it’s super yet, or ever.

@Mr_Derivatives Tim Cook would be the ideal CEO for Nike. I wouldn’t rule it out. He loves making things with deep brand value and technology. It resonates a lot.

@SpadeLob @CeoOndas is either another Alex Karp or better, or this entire company is going to crumble on itself. It is extremely hard to integrate this many entities.

@surface We need this. Get to work.

@RonBaronAnalyst @BaronCapital You’re Elon’s biggest supporter and cheerleader and you asked Claude? 🥲🤨

@unusual_whales $CVX

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@tbpn Because he doesn’t belong in TIME magazine as a top 100. He is in the World’s Top 10, where he actually belongs. Nothing to read there. He’s busy.

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@Knightcraw1er @wave3trades This is more of a national and international defense/security topic than an “immoral” conversation. You’re pointing out “feelings” more than an investment thesis. U.S. & Israel ties have only deepened and it is necessary for that tie to deepen even further, for both sakes.

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@KobeissiLetter In your pursuit of being first to report a companies earnings 1. You report inaccurate information. 2. You weren’t the first one to report it. So you accomplished nothing. The stock is up 4% not down 4%.

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@commonsenseplay Tim Cook is next CEO. Bookmark.

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@KobeissiLetter Tim Cook is coming in next. With all the added market purchases it’s a perfect fit. The stars are aligning. Add.

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@EdgeCGroup Great article. For something tells me, the Tim Cook purchases are too interesting to ignore as well. It’s the kind of companies Tim excels at. Rich, deep, tech attractive CPG’s. I wouldn’t be surprised down the road.

[Hector R. Barrera @CEOHector]

@packyM They’re not debating sleeping in offices. It’s sleeping during meetings. Be thorough.

@elonmusk So, how do you tell FSD to drive slower because you want to enjoy the drive and scenery?
