The sole purpose of leisure travel after age 30 is to remind yourself that you’ve lost all childlike joy and the only thing that excites you is aggregating land and resources and watching number go up.

The hallmark of a life well lived is gaining the wisdom of age while you’re still young and retaining the energy of youth as you grow old.

Giving your children beautiful, strong, heroic, cool, and prophetic names is crucial to setting them for a better existence

Flash back to my late 20s (~14 years ago) and I was an ardent atheist.

I met some smart, well-read, successful people whose lives looked fundamentally different than mine. And to my surprise and chagrin, they were devout Christians. I couldn't believe it.

They broke all my assumptions. They were funny and loving, kind and humble. They had courage and largely lived without the fear, anxiety, and malaise I felt and saw clearly in my friends.

They lived with a freedom that I had never experienced. They were present and caring and comfortable in their own skin. They helped the helpless with no desire for recognition or expectation of reciprocity.

Their worldview was so different than mine and so shocking by comparison that it forced me to reconsider my daily operating beliefs. I was focused on me; they were focused on others. I was obsessed with accumulating money, power, and fame; they were uncomfortably generous and carefree with their resources. I was easily offended; they were unoffendable. I was fragile mentally and emotionally; they were focused and resilient.

The question I had to face was this -- Is it true because it works? Or, does it work because it's true?

That's what started my exploration, which ended in concluding that Jesus was who he says he was. And, it transformed my life.

I don't embody nearly all the characteristics that initially peaked my interest, but the trajectory is there, and I find comfort in knowing that I'm still early in my journey.

@AscendantPower The Prestige. Massively under-appreciated movie by Christopher Nolan before he became a meme. Gives the viewer many reasons to re-watch. One plot twist after another.

Disagreeableness has become the most important psychological trait. Everyday there is propaganda to ignore, psyops to reject, perversities to stay out of. The skill and speed with which you say "no" will determine how far you go
