Kevin James dropped a powerful reminder about prayer and God.

He said if you look back at all the things you once prayed desperately about, they all got taken care of, maybe not exactly how you wanted, but in a better way. The things that once kept you up at night aren’t even worries anymore.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds.” - Philippians 4:6-7

Counterpoint: a bunch of dudes on dirt bikes hitting sick jumps over humvees with Marines in dress uniforms standing in front of the White House is cool as shit and everyone kind of knows why someone like you hates it

Turns out, waking up early, hitting the gym, eating clean, calling the friend you miss, telling that girl that she is pretty, going on long walks, drinking good coffee, smoking a cigarette after drinks with the boys, and having eccentric hobbies really fixes everything.

My hottest sports take is that if your stadium was funded by tax payers your games should be on free, network TV.

Yes, I'm annoyed that I have to buy 3 streaming services and cable to watch the Spurs playoff games.

Due to a mild winter, my city has asked residents to only water their grass 1-2x a week, and Denver just drained a large lake, but the ~60 data centers in this state are still going strong & getting full access to water.

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

We all sin everyday. It’s by the grace of God that we are forgiven

@rephageman Over 50,000 unidentified children are waiting for rescue. Urge Congress to move on the Renewed Hope Act to rescue children seen in abuse images. These children cannot wait!
