reality is that you spend 90% of your life managing the consequences of 10% of your decisions (picking your school, social circle, environment, career path, starting your biz...). meaning that your only job in life comes down to making a few right ones so everything else clicks
for all you know, this could be your last summer.
as homer wrote, you will never be lovelier than you are right now. so tell her she has a pretty smile. get lean or become a unit. find wonder in boarding the airplane. drink more coffee than you need. walk on the beach until your feet hurt. write your girlfriend a note on a tuesday. waste money because its not all about retirement. pull over at the lookout. ask the uber driver about his life. tell the woman in the elevator you like her shoes and mean it. call your mother. ask the waiter his favorite thing on the menu and order that.
theres so much life in the slow moments, and you sprint past it chasing the next thing. but at any time, in any situation, you can find the good. smile. be happy. recognize it for a one of one life experience. what good is walking around a curmudgeon when tomorrow could be curtains.
for heavens sake, flirt with the world.
@TheSalonDon@bowtiedgerman My dad let go of an office employee, and she accused him of making unwanted advances. No one took it seriously because my parents literally work in the same office, they’re always together lmao
Being overly political is a sign of mental illness and an unstable life.
You are emotionally invested into things you have practically 0 impact on, which constantly impacts your mood.
I couldn’t imagine following this stuff daily, subjecting myself to whatever nonsense the current thing is.
If you have responsibilities and things to do in your social life, there’s no reason you should be religiously following every little thing which happens, you simply don’t have time, and would not want to subject yourself to unneeded negativity energy.
In the 1980s, Brazil’s elite CIGS (Jungle Warfare Training Center) in Manaus had rescued jaguars roaming free during PT as a way to build soldiers' mental fortitude and get them accustomed to realities they may encounter in the jungle | 🇧🇷🐆
@allie__voss My parents didn’t do the greatest job at giving us healthy habits, and in turned lectured my older siblings about their diet and exercise - siblings would cry fat shaming
Luckily I built a good routine and diet when I was in my teens, so I never got the health lecture.
@mhp_guy I’ve never been to Dallas, but have visited Houston a bunch (both my sisters and aunt live there. What’s the biggest difference between living in Houston and in Dallas?
