I am very much in favor of legal immigration, being an immigrant myself, but allowing a flood of millions of unvetted people to enter the United States illegally is insane.
“.. The most interesting part of Powell’s Q&A came when he was asked about Canadian exports. He said their greatest export was comedians, and then rattled off an impressive list: ‘Jim Carrey, Martin Short, John Candy, Mike Myers, Norm Macdonald, Rick Moranis, Dan Aykroyd, Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Martin. .. Something’s going on up there. .. Send more, we can’t get enough of it.”

Tony Robbins believes that, in a lowered emotional state, we only see the problems, not solutions.
Let’s say you wake up feeling tired and overwhelmed. You sit down to brainstorm strategies to solve your issues, but it comes to naught, and you feel even worse afterward. This is because you started in a negative state, then attempted strategy but didn’t succeed (due to tunnel vision on the problems), and then likely told yourself self-defeating stories (e.g., “I always do this. Why am I so wound up I can’t even think straight?”).
To fix this, he encourages you to “prime” your state first. The biochemistry will help you proactively tell yourself an enabling story. Only then do you think on strategy, as you’ll see the options instead of dead ends.
“Priming” my state is often as simple as doing 5 to 10 push-ups or getting 20 minutes of sun exposure.
I often ask myself, “Is this really a problem I need to think my way out of? Or is it possible I just need to fix my biochemistry?” I’ve wasted a lot of time journaling on “problems” when I just needed to eat breakfast sooner, do 10 push-ups, or get an extra hour of sleep.
Sometimes, you think you have to figure out your life’s purpose, but you really just need some macadamia nuts and a cold fucking shower.
