"Lahaina Noon," is a trippy phenomenon that happens twice a year in Hawaii, where all objects lose their shadows
It begins in Hawaii TODAY,
starting on the Big Island
every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).
that’s neuroplasticity in real time.
my housemate asked me how i manage to do multiple tai chi classes a day, socialise, feed myself, do this that and the other and i told her the more stuff you do the more energy you get. it doesn’t make sense but it's true
I started listening to Bad Bunny when I moved to Miami a few years ago.
It was always playing in the gym. I started to learn the songs, which started teaching me words in Spanish. Then some of the Dominican trainers at the gym and I became friends, and they started speaking Spanish with me.
It gave me a small taste of what it must be like for immigrants who don’t speak English to come to America and turn to movies, TV shows, and music to learn the language. And how quickly you can become friends with someone even when you only share a few words in common.
IMO that’s what Bad Bunny’s halftime show captured creatively.
Latin culture is special. And you don’t need to speak the language to be invited to the party, dance, and experience community & connection.
I’m glad he didn’t sing a single word in English.
It’s his party.
And I appreciate him inviting all of us, fluent or not, to be part of it.
Jake Paul calls Bad Bunny a 'fake American' for being born in Puerto Rico.
Jake Paul currently lives in Puerto Rico to avoid paying American Taxes.
You cant make this up.
We’re being desensitized.
Don’t lose your empathy.
Watching people die on your phone isn’t normal.
Remember to take breaks, take care of yourselves, your loved ones and your community.
a mentor once told me that the person who figures out how to enjoy the process will always beat the person who’s just tolerating it. same hours, different energy, completely different results. find a way to love the grind or find a different grind.
Every time you shy away from the things that feel too hard to do, you’re harming not just your future, but your present self. You slowly lose confidence, self-esteem, and grow mentally weak. So, next year, strengthen your mind. Dare to do hard things. That’s how you get ahead.
this is the answer most people need to hear about most things, btw. “life doesn’t feel like this anymore”, “this doesn’t happen anymore”, yeah because YOU’RE supposed to be doing it. YOU’RE the adult now, who’s supposed to be creating the magic that other adults used to create for you, when you were a CHILD.
