Quotes I’ve saved from my favorite self-improvement podcasts: Part 1

1) We often suffer more in imagination than in reality.
—@ChrisWillx / Modern Wisdom Podcast

2) Our brain’s ability to undergo neuroplasticity is the scientific basis for the idea that we can change our lives by reshaping our brain function.
—@hubermanlab

3) Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.
— @jordanbpeterson

4) Vulnerability is not weakness; it is our most accurate measure of courage.
— @ArmchairExpPod

5) Curiosity is the engine of achievement.
— @lexfridman

You can keep telling yourself this, but you're simply wrong. I'm a left-leaning liberal who's fiercely anti-authoritarian, and if you couldn't deduce that from my work you haven't understood a word of it.

I'm not an ideologue. I mistrust ideologies. I've never met an ideologue who wasn't prepared to deny a bit of inconvenient truth to keep their world view intact and I include ideologies with which I find myself in broad sympathy. On the other hand, I am an idealist. I believe in human beings. We are undeniably capable of terrible acts, but the evidence is that we are astoundingly collaborative and mutually supportive, especially when times are hard.

My values haven't changed; what's changed is the political landscape. What was once my natural home (a pragmatic centre-left party focused on dealing with economic disparity, championing social liberalism and equal rights) is now dominated by an illiberal, identity-based strain of politics I consider elitist, harmful and out of touch with the day-to-day concerns of regular people, particularly women (and I've still lived more than half of my life as a non-wealthy woman, and some of that time was spent in poverty).

There are women with whom I make common cause in the TERF wars I disagree with on other things. Within obvious limits (sucking up to literal Nazis) I don't particularly care about their personal politics. The reality is that there's currently an assault on women's rights unparalleled in my lifetime, and it's coming from both left and right. If ever there was a time for women across the political spectrum to come together, it is now.

Today is my husband’s birthday. It’s also the Marine Corps birthday… not sure how I got so lucky as to marry a man that’s basically a double dose of marine 😅🫶 but here we are.

I felt like this photo most accurately conveyed the energy of THIS birthday and the excitement of the year to come 😎🇺🇸

@archi_tradition I visited Florence this year for the first time after going to Italy 3 times. These are the pictured I got that summed up Florence for me. It might be my forever “getaway city” — great place to breathe, eat wholesome food, wonder and read books. Beautiful vibes 🫶

@AlpacaAurelius That 11/6 valley in all outspoken MAHA IG analytics was real but I’ve personally experienced a bounce back so I’m assuming people are getting on the wagon. We can hope 🙏🏼😎🚀

@GearyBurch @HarrisonGarlic1 As an Oklahoman, I can attest that this is a correct statement. What’s the saying… “we didn’t leave the party; the party left us”? Something to that effect.

So far, the only thing I regret in life is never realizing I was always on time.

I spent too many years under the impression that I was either too young or too old, trapped by the idea that there’s a proper age for everything.

The year is 2035. RFK has completely overhauled the FDA, CDC and EPA. You can go to restaurants again, as they no longer use teflon pans or seed oils. Tap water no longer has fluoride or pesticides that changes frog's gender. Lights are all incandescent, so your circadian rhythm is perfectly attuned. Kids eat steak and eggs instead of fruit loops. You pay very little taxes because we no longer spend $4 TRILLION on healthcare and because you get a bonus for being below 20% body fat. You have 3 kids that you homeschool with your friends. Everybody is fertile again. Cows are everywhere. Whenever someone leaves America they say they lost weight because the food is so healthy and clean. God bless America.

On a mission to live some stories to tell ✈️

Searching is growing.

Searching isn’t stagnant, even when it feels so.

Searching in circles isn’t inconsequential

Searching is character building—story writing to story tell along the way and in the future.

Happy about the election? Get healthy

No friends? Get healthy
Boring? Get healthy
Sad? Get healthy
Single? Get healthy
Ugly? Get healthy
Poor? Get healthy

Getting healthy is the answer to most problems

Contentedness = harmony + progress

Humans cannot be content without each simultaneously.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states!

Massive red wave success! It is beyond a landslide, as Republicans won:

– Presidency
– Popular vote
– Senate majority
– House majority
– State governor majority
– State legislature majority

The few states that didn’t go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence 🙄

This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!
