Most of what steals a day isn’t dramatic. It’s treating every notification, comparison, and minor irritation as something that needs a response.

Notice the impulse.....If it isn’t yours to handle, leave it. If it is, take the next step and stop narrating the rest.

The world could use a little more Stoicism: less reacting, more perspective; less complaining, more responsibility; and more focus on what we can actually control.

How to overcome adversity (According to Marcus Aurelius)

1. Use it to do good for others
2. Be ruthlessly objective
3. View everything as an opportunity
4. Cultivate an inner citadel
5. Take it action by action
6. Prepare for the worst
7. Focus exclusively on what is in your power

@LewisHowes Bingo. The smallest habits often feel insignificant—until you realize they’ve been shaping who you become all along.

Practicing dentistry is a lot like riding a roller coaster. 🎢

Some days you’re on top of the world.

Other days…you’re just holding on for dear life.

Myth: Cracked ≠ doomed.

Tooth #30: Necrotic pulp + SAP (Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis) ; crack through lingual sulcus, paper-thin roots.

Conservative shaping (15/.04, 25/.04) + GentleWave for cleaning/disinfection. Brasseler Bioceramic sealer.

Precision + science = saved. #Endodontics #worthsaving

@Markmanson With age comes wisdom…and less tolerance for the people, places, and things that steal our inner peace. Friction is good; it helps us grow. Wisdom is learning which friction helps us grow and which simply wears us down.

Envy is the thief of today…stealing the joy of what we have for the promise of what someone else has.

Most of my colleagues who typically upgrade annually are doing the same thing I am this year—sitting it out.

Maybe it won’t meaningfully affect Apple’s bottom line. But when customers who used to upgrade almost automatically start asking, “Why bother?” that’s a signal worth paying attention to.

Tennessee may be under a heat 🔥 dome, but the endo has been pretty hot lately too.

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

@ryanhallyall All of us in Tennessee right now. 😂 We’re used to sweltering summers—it’s just unusual to make it this far without a cold front giving us at least a little taste of fall.

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

@stats_feed But it requires something increasingly unpopular: discomfort.

Most people want the shortcut. The pill. The procedure. The quick fix.

Exercise asks us to choose discomfort today for a better tomorrow.

There’s a lesson in that far beyond physical health.

All the conversation around the dangers of AI, and what may be on the horizon, is a good reminder to embrace our humanity.

Go outside. Feel the sun on your skin. Listen to nature. Connect with people you love.

Be present. Be curious. Keep it simple.

@SenecaQuote Imagine what becomes possible when you stop being your own adversary.

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

@AnatoliKopadze If this is the public conversation, I suspect the private one is considerably more sobering.

@WhiteHouse 25 years later, a reminder of how fragile an ordinary day can be—and how precious each one is. We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

25 years ago today, as a high schooler, I watched in horror as the worst of humanity unfolded before us.

I watched the towers fall. I watched a piece of the New York skyline disappear, leaving behind two enormous footprints—and a wound in our country that would never fully disappear.

But in the days that followed, I also witnessed something else: the best of humanity.

Americans came together. Strangers helped strangers. Neighbors looked after neighbors. For a moment, we were reminded that whatever our differences, we belonged to one another.

We say Never Forget because we must never forget what happened on September 11.

But 25 years later, I hope we also never forget what came after…what it means to be an American, to be a neighbor, and simply to care for one another.

We could use that reminder today…

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

The story of today is still unwritten. What a privilege to help write it….and to leave some small part of the world better than we found it.

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

@LewisHowes Enough time to stop thinking about time. To be completely present with the people you love and places you enjoy without wondering what you should be doing next.

[Jonathan Uhles, DDS, MDS @drjonathanuhles]

@Markmanson We spend the first half of life learning how to acquire. Maybe the second half is learning what’s worth letting go.
