You don't like what I have to say? Change your mind

79 years old today. “If you rest, you rust.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger says retirement is when body and mind start heading south. The real danger as you age is sitting still. Work forces the opposite, early call times, rehearsals, fight scenes, long days on set. You finish exhausted, sleep, and do it again the next morning.

The brain needs the same treatment. Memorizing pages of dialogue, playing chess between takes, constant challenge so nothing slips. Keep moving. Keep pushing yourself. That’s the whole game.

Happy birthday to a man still proving it.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Stop faking who you are. Every time you edit yourself to be liked, you build relationships that will demand constant upkeep. Be honest. Let people self-select. The right ones stay. The rest? Good fucking riddance.

Tony Robbins on the three questions that reveal why you're unhappy:

"People don't experience life, they experience the life they focus on. If you're happy, you are deleting all the things you could be pissed off about. If you're unhappy, you're deleting all the things that are great in your life. Our brains delete and distort and generalize, so if you don't direct it, you get whatever shows up"

"What's wrong is always available. What's right is also available. It's just which one you pick. And it isn't about positive thinking. I've never been into positive thinking. I believe in intelligence, because when you're in a lousy state of mind, you treat people poorly, you don't perform, you're not happy"

"There are three decisions you're making every moment of your life. The first one is what are you going to focus on. If you're supposed to meet someone at 7 o'clock and it's 7:30 and they haven't called, some people are pissed off, some people are worried. It's the same event. Whether you're angry or worried had nothing to do with the event, it's the habits of your mind"

"Do you tend to focus more on what you have or what's missing? Do you focus more on what you can control or what you can't? Do you focus more on the past, the present, or the future?"

"If you constantly look at what's missing, it's hard to ever stay fulfilled. If you focus on what you can't control, you're overwhelmed and stressed. And if you focus on the past, which you can't change, that makes you angry or sad or frustrated. If you focus on what you have, you're going to be more fulfilled"

"Instead of saying I want a New Year's resolution, another rule for myself, I need to change the ruler. A lot of times we don't even see that we're the ruler"

Major cheat code for life: Realizing no matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you're still ahead of everyone who isn't trying. Better to look foolish while trying than wonder for the rest of your life what might have happened if you had.

@PastTheEyeTest Have them throw in Michael King then and we eat salary if we’re subtracting from the rotation

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU AFRAID OF

- Death : We’re all gonna die.

- Bankruptcy : You can make it all back.

- Shame : Everyone will forget in a week.

- Rejection : It happens to everyone.

- Failure : It’s part of the path.

- Judgment : They’ll judge anyway.

- Losing people : Not all are meant to stay.

- Making mistakes : You’ll survive them.

- Taking risks : Regret hurts more.

Live every day like it's your last day.

[MJD @Baltimore_MJD]

I will forever hate the Royals. Goes back to the 2014 season and continues today.

Erceg quick pitching down 8-2 and losing control of a fastball. Then throwing up his hands like he’s confused as to why Blaze is pissed.

Then @VPasquantino trying to ego check Blaze for being mad his hand was just broken because of reckless pitching in garbage time.

Fuck the Royals. Fuck Erceg. Fuck Vinnie.

[Blaze Alexander @BAlexander52]

Weird take.. Never thought it was intentional but the 2 quick pitches to try and catch me off guard led to me now missing games. Thanks for the compliments tho Big Foot👍🏼

[Chris Slade @Django_UnSlade]

@zachbollinger18 The price just went up!

[Chris Slade @Django_UnSlade]

@FowlBallTalk No he’s too young and I give him a pass because the wrist injury. Next year yes. Also see Jordan Walker of the cardinals. Prob had the same things being said about him last year and look at him now

The 5 reasons soccer won't increase in popularity after the world cup is over.

1. The flopping. This goes against the soul of every American. We value grit, toughness and basically not being a pussy.
2. The clock. No one wants to get to the end of a game and have no clue when it's over. Just stop & start the clock when you need to, like sane people.
3. Offsides. Just put a line out there like everyone else. This floating line you have makes the game unwatchable. It's like a built in, anti-excitement glitch you manufactured for your game.
4. Red cards. What a stupid rule that you automatically get kicked out for the next game for getting one. I can understand suspending someone after a league review of something you did that was horrible. But to automatically get suspended because of what a ref saw at full speed is stupid.
5. Ties. In America we call it kissing your sister, cause that's the same feeling you get after a tie. Pure disgust. In soccer, it seems like the result you prefer most. Play til you have a winner.

@orioles_lover @BAL_Os_funk Win game 1 easily,
Establish hope clearly,
Lose the next two predictably

[Chris Slade @Django_UnSlade]

@jcalvinmeyer He loves to pitch well when the team is objectively out of it probability wise. In fact he thrives once that is the case it seems

[Chris Slade @Django_UnSlade]

@jcalvinmeyer Where was this when it mattered in a way where the team could be .500 or better right now if not for his awfulness before the last 7 starts?

[Chris Slade @Django_UnSlade]

@JakeDRill He’s gonna turn it around

i'm in love with this quote:

"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

A reminder from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson:

“Happiness comes from solving problems. The keyword here is "solving." If you're avoiding your problems or feel like you don't have any problems, then you're going to make yourself miserable. If you feel like you have problems that you can't solve, you will likewise make yourself miserable. The secret sauce is in the solving of the problems, not in not having problems in the first place. To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity.”

@jcalvinmeyer Only if the pen does its part

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

Unlearn shame. All kinds of shame: abuse, unemployment, sickness, vulnerability, longing, desire, mistakes, failures. You need not be ashamed of what you're feeling or living. Freedom and shame cannot coexist.
