“There’s a Difference.”

They’ll all tell you their trophy’s the hardest to win.

They’ll point to stat sheets and salary caps, to playoff seeds and clutch shots in bright arenas under brighter lights.
And sure, there’s pressure. There’s talent. There’s glory.

But there’s a difference.

The Stanley Cup is not won. It is survived.

You do not hoist it unless you’ve bled for it.
Sixteen wins. Four rounds. Two months of collisions at 30 km/h.
You tape your ribs. Freeze your shoulder. Stitch your face.
You lose sleep, you lose weight, and if you’re lucky—you lose feeling. Because the pain? It’s always there.

The path to Lord Stanley is not built for comfort.
It’s built on blocked shots, double overtimes, shattered sticks, and legs that stopped working three games ago.
You don’t get there with highlight reels. You get there in silence. In cold rinks, on long flights, with trainers whispering: One more game, kid. One more.

And when it’s over?
No dancing. No parades of champagne.
Just a man, sometimes two, holding a silver grail with fingers that can barely grip it.
Not because it’s heavy. But because they are done.

The Stanley Cup isn’t a trophy.
It’s a reckoning.
And not every champion is built to earn it.

Doing hard stuff requires distress tolerance. Building distress tolerance requires doing hard stuff. There is no easy entry point. It gets easier by way of recognition. You think “I’ve been here before”. Pretty soon you’re seeking that state. That’s how you make hard stuff easy.

@bisping Hope you watched the 2nd half

Tonight will be Ángel Di María’s farewell to international fútbol.
🇦🇷
I was lucky enough to witness his journey from the very beginning, having attended multiple Argentina matches at the 2007 U20 World Cup, including the Final.

Gracias Ángel for all the memories. 😢

Liam Foudy’s hat trick in overtime gives the @mkeadmirals their 11th straight win!

"Liam ... what a night he had ... to get a hat trick like that, that was outstanding."

Thank you veterans, past and present. I acknowledge: no safety = no science, no school, no small or large businesses can thrive and on and on. Also, for agreeing to answer the call even if/when politics don’t align and for placing duty first. THANK YOU.

[Jack Irvine @jackirvine29]

Not pinch hitting Varsho in the 9th was sickening as well. Could sniff out a 3 pitch strikeout to end the season there. Never mind pulling Berríos while he was dealing. Lots of questionable calls lead to yet another disappointing year..

[Mike @mikethefanatic]

Belt 0/7 with FOUR strikeouts before that AB. He’s now 0/8 with FIVE strikeouts.

Davis Schneider just sitting there chilling in the dugout …

John Schneider doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s at.

LIONEL ANDRÉS MESSI IS NOT HUMAN.

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

Fastest goal in his professional career.
10 goals in his last 7 games with Argentina.
Just 🐐 things.

Emerging data from clinical trials points to potentially powerful use of psilocybin for the treatment of depression and certain forms of addiction, and perhaps compulsive disorders, too.

One of the key questions to arise from those studies is: "what is the relationship between the actual journey (the subjective experience under the influence of psilocybin) and the improvements in mood and other thought patterns that persist afterwards"?

If you think about it, this is a critical issue to resolve because it needn't be the case that the actual journey and insights therein are the cause of the antidepressant effects. The rewiring (neuroplasticity) events in the brain could, for instance, occur afterwards or be independent of the subjective experience of the journey. Or they could simply be the consequence of the serotonin receptor activation and strengthening of certain neural connections, or even neurogenesis.

During the Huberman Lab episode out now, I discuss the data related to all of these issues. I also discuss safety considerations, and who should absolutely avoid psilocybin, which, of course are critical issues. https://t.co/X7tKttfOku

How easily one is pulled into recurrent thoughts in ways that take us away from life progressing actions, is one of the key metrics of mental health… and not surprisingly, is correlated with productivity, or lack thereof. Re-directing focus is a skill worth investing in.

From 1995-1997, the United States government released 41 wolves into Yellowstone National Park.

Nobody could've predicted their effect on the habitat over the next 30 years.

Here's the story and how I'm applying the lessons to my life:
