Oh I absolutely love this.
"The single greatest skill that you can develop is being in a great mood in the absence of things to be in a great mood about."
If your happiness constantly requires good news, more money, another achievement, validation, or something external, you’re basically handing control of your mood over to circumstances.

@NashSevereWx@NWSNashville What it was like looking outside my window in Southwest Nash except it was all w/i about 5 minutes that it went from sunshine to chaos 🙃
Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Nashville International Airport® (BNA®), announced their intent to name BNA in honor of Dolly Parton.

Dolly Parton says she once went through a period so dark, she understood why people turn to drugs and alcohol.
“Yes, I went through a bad period of time back in the ’80s when I was going through the change. I was having some female problems, family problems, emotional problems, and I was overweight. I didn’t feel good about myself at all, so I got myself in a pretty bad bind.”
“I understood at that moment how people get on drugs, how people get on alcohol, and how people can commit suicide. I didn’t do that because I kept praying, holding on to God, and hanging on to my friends.”
“No business thing has ever been able to get me that depressed. It has to be something very personal, either family or something during that middle-age change of life, when your hormones and everything are different.”
“I did have a very hard time, but God, praying, friends, and just trying to hang on helped me. Being Dolly, just being me, I thought, ‘Hey, either get off your fat ass and do something about it, or go ahead and blow your head off.’ And I thought, ‘Nah, I ain’t gonna do that.’”
“I believe God meant for me to go through that so I could completely feel for other people about everything.”
@DeptVetAffairs Appreciate the effort but I just helped my 36 y/o bf (Marine vet.) trying to book an appt. thru your website and it felt like a never-ending loop, so he resolved to just calling to book. My 94 y/o grandfather (Army vet.) will also never be able to figure out anything online so...
One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.
If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.
The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution.
The world 🌍 has effectively convinced so many of you that you’re not in charge and in control and have weaponized fear against so so so many of you … don't let them trick you
These #AI videos are getting ridiculous... I just watched one that seemed legit until the person pronounced "ASAP" like "Uh-zap" instead of "Ay-sap".
It may seem minute, but small details like that matter and we're collectively responsible for looking out for them moving forward
Has anybody else ever noticed that the Bruno Mars music video for "Treasure" is essentially just an amalgam of the following 3 songs and accompanying videos?
1. "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind & Fire
2. "Rock Steady" by The Whispers
and
3. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by 👑 MJ
A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.
The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.
Next play mentality.
Andrew Huberman just blew my mind on Modern Wisdom:
You’re not a perfect 50/50 mix of your parents’ genes. Some entire brain areas can be 100% from mom… others 100% from dad.
It’s not just mitochondrial DNA - certain structures that control hunger, behavior, and more can be almost entirely inherited from one parent.
Human genetics is far more complex than the simple “half from each” story we were taught. It helps explain why some traits or tendencies feel so strongly linked to one side of the family.
I’ve always found this kind of thing endlessly fascinating, it shows how unique each of us really is at a biological level.
What do you think — does knowing some brain areas can be almost entirely from one parent change how you see family resemblance, or is this just another layer of the mystery?
