When your children ask you to play with them, drop everything as soon as you can and play with them.

In a blink of an eye they grow up and will stop asking you to play.

Do not allow busyness of life to distract you from what matters most.

Family should always be priority #1.

You suddenly unlock so much mental bandwidth once you no longer have to worry about money all the time. That’s actually the most important upside of financial freedom: you can finally experience life in your sharpest mental state.

“We are in dire desperate need for more health literacy in this country 😱😱”

This is metabolic disease poison. Cancer, fatty liver, et al.

Stability isn't boring, routine isn't boring, it's actually how you're going to develop your intellect, skills, talents, it's actually how you're going to compound your most meaningful relationships, it's actually how you're going to come across your most exciting opportunities.

write down exactly what you want out of life, with as much specificity as possible, and without shying away from “unrealistic” ambitions

and as you do so, notice where you get stuck, notice what you can’t quite articulate, and notice what feels scary to even consider

"May you never be the reason why someone who spoke so excitedly about their dreams, is now silent about them. May you never be the reason someone gave up on a part of themselves because you were demotivating, non-appreciative, hypercritical, or sarcastic about it."

What people think generational wealth is: Passing down a house

What generational wealth actually is: Teaching your kids how to have a healthy relationship with money by talking to them about it regularly, modeling conscious spending, admitting mistakes, and enlisting their help to plan for increasingly complex financial decisions -- from planning a family dinner out to an entire family vacation or car

[Stronger Foundations for Nutrition @SF4Nutrition]

On this #DayOfTheGirl, we should recognize that girls' rights violations - from child marriage to barriers to girls' education - have far-reaching consequences for their nutrition and well-being.

Girls married young are more likely to become pregnant as adolescents, rendering them more vulnerable to anemia and other malnutrition-related conditions. And girls who are pulled out of school lack access to critical nutritional interventions like school meals.

#NourishEquality outlines strategic investment opportunities to deliver proven nutrition interventions to women and girls, unlocking their full capabilities. https://t.co/6rNNAxmQlm

Whoa! I’ve had a root canal!
I didn’t know this!
Of course 🙄😤

[Naima Cochrane @naima]

I love watching Tyler James Williams interviews bc he stays dropping GEMS (this one from #CultureCon).

This is the realest thing I'll probably post this week, and I preach this to my students ALL THE TIME. This is the lowest point of risk, the lowest stakes, they will ever have in their career. If they're too scared to be vulnerable NOW, how will they ever know what works for them?

People want an out-of-the-box career, pre-fab, just assemble and go. They want to get to the finish line in 10 steps or less. It don't work like that - and shouldn't! The honing of craft, the growth, the development, that all comes before you "arrive." You need it to get there.

[Stronger Foundations for Nutrition @SF4Nutrition]

💡DYK: Worldwide, 2 in 3 women of reproductive age lack essential micronutrients.

#NourishEquality addresses the link between nutrition and gender equality. Better outcomes for women's rights, health, education, and opportunity improve nutrition. Good nutrition, in turn, supports gender equality. https://t.co/6rNNAxmivO

[Eleanor Crook Foundation @EleanorCrookFdn]

Over 1 billion women and girls face malnutrition. 🚨

Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS), high-quality prenatal vitamins, can make a huge impact.
