Remember when we complained when our kids had homework and it was like a worksheet and an “About Me” poster, HAHAHHA (help....) #momlife#remotelearning
Our highest loyalty doesn’t belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles.
If you wouldn’t accept it from the “other side,” you shouldn’t accept it from yours.
Integrity is upholding your values even when your own group violates them.
The first description the Lord God gave of himself in the divine disclosure of Exodus 34:6 was “compassionate.” Our capacity for compassion comes from being created in the image of God. It is not meant to be politicized, exploited, mocked, sold or regarded as weakness. Guard it.
A lesson I wish I learned earlier: It’s perfectly ok to live a life that’s confusing to others. Go to bed at 8. Wake up at 4. Eat real foods. Go on long walks. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Don’t gossip. Be loved by a few. Recipe for a good life.
We shouldn’t ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. It encourages them to define themselves in terms of work.
Who we become is not a question of career—it’s a matter of character.
The highest aspiration is to be a person of generosity, integrity, humility, and wisdom.
@hubermanlab I'd love to know a good creatine source for women. I'm early 40s and lift regularly. My GP cautioned me about reading ingredients on all supplements due to the hormonal impact they can have... thoughts on that?
Narcissistic leaders are sore losers. They deny their failures and blame others for their foibles.
Humble leaders are good sports. They accept defeat graciously and admit their mistakes.
Great leaders are great learners. They strive to turn their shortcomings into strengths.
How to avoid regret in your 80’s
· Lift weights
· Prioritize family
· Eat a healthy diet
· Fix your sleeping habits
· Stop taking shit personally
· Work on something meaningful
· Stop comparing yourself to others
· Spend more time living. Less time on a screen
A mark of emotional maturity is hearing disagreement without taking offense.
Thoughtful dissent doesn't always mean you're wrong. It often means the issue is complex and your knowledge is incomplete.
Good-faith debate isn't an attack. It's an opportunity to sharpen your ideas.
i’m a strong believer in the power of “granny hobbies” to improve your mental health (and detox from digital everything)
reading, knitting, gardening, crafting, cooking, baking, board games, sewing, birdwatching, playing cards, drinking tea …
The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.
Regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.
It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.
It's time to stop dumping thankless tasks on women.
Women get more asks than men to serve on committees, plan events, and take notes. They're more likely to be penalized if they say no—and taken for granted if they say yes.
Work should be divided equitably by role, not gender.
Sometimes it is easier to focus on everything around you and not take time to check in on yourself. So right now, I want you to take a moment to just focus on yourself and how you are doing. Start by asking yourself some of these questions and really reflect on your answers.
