It is okay …

to wear old clothes
to not upgrade your phone
to buy second-hand items
to live in a simple home
to read older books
to enjoy home cooking
to travel to unknown locations
to earn a living doing what you love
to be an introvert

it is okay to live a simpler life.

Letting others be seen and celebrated doesn’t dim your light, it proves you have one.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated social skill: Letting someone have their moment. One-uppers are exhausting. Real confidence lets others feel seen, heard, celebrated. Don’t hijack the story. Don't bring it back to you. Secure people don't feel the need to steal attention.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

When given a choice between clever and kind, always choose kind.

PM Mottley asked AI what laws were influenced by the 1661 Barbados Slave Code. Copilot answered, then deleted and refused to repeat its response.
Reminder: the interests behind AI shape its biases. Tech isn’t neutral and it doesn’t serve us all equally.

[Kejan Haynes @KejanHaynes]

To prove her point about the vulnerability of the region, Mottley asked AI What other laws in the Americas were inspired by the Barbados Slave Code of 1661...Microsoft Copilot answered but deleted and declined to give her the answer.

Getting older means realizing how rare authentic connection is. If someone crosses your mind, that is the moment. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time, reach out.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

Make it a habit of reaching out ti people just because they crossed your mind.

This is sage advice as we get older and become less connected with loved ones.

[Davey Haughton @yevad_]

A reminder we all need—grace, patience, and love even in the silence. Check in, not out.

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

Adult friendships require grace. People are busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self-care just like you. Don’t mistake less communication for less love. Check in, not out. 🩶

“Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.”

[Noctara @rumilyrics]

Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing. Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.

“Confidence is not thinking you are better than everyone else, it is realizing you have no reason to compare yourself to anyone else.”

[Davey Haughton @yevad_]

Life is a fleeting breath.
May we forgive as we hope to be forgiven, and live as though we know how brief this is.

[Clyde Williams @ClydeWilliams46]

There is no liberal democracy on Earth that has killed their way out of serious crime. None.

[Davey Haughton @yevad_]

Nothing is guaranteed.
Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Be present.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

“Those who died yesterday had plans for today. And those who died today had plans for tomorrow.

Do not take life for granted. In a blink of an eye, everything can change.

Forgive often and live with all of your heart. You may never know when you may not have the chance again.”

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

“Everything is super important. Until you are sick. Then you realize there was only ever one thing that was important - your health.”

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

The first gift is life. The second gift is good health.

The third gift is to love and be loved. The fourth gift is peace of mind.

There are no other gifts that matter as much.

The fifth gift is having the wisdom to know what to appreciate most.

In a new paper scientists report that a new artificial-intelligence model can date the ancient scrolls based on the style of handwriting they contain https://t.co/zD7F6Vsfnl

Know this, winners quit too, the difference is they know when to.

“The place where Pandora fill’d her box”—Ward’s 1698 satire called Port Royal quake divine wrath for piracy and vice, echoed by sunken taverns found in digs. Science says liquefaction + tsunami. Fate, fault lines—or both? #History #PortRoyal #1692Earthquake

[Keenan Falconer @keenanfalconer]

Today, June 7, is the anniversary of the 1692 Port Royal earthquake. Most persons know about its description as ‘the wickedest and richest city on earth’ but the following assessment, written by satirical author Ned Ward in ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ (1698) was a little more scathing…

Will that yes amount something of value or worth, something you can learn from? Something successful. It just might.

[Davey Haughton @yevad_]

Start asking more:

Most people never ask, and that's what separates, sometimes, the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.

[Davey Haughton @yevad_]

It's not easy to ask for help; asking makes you feel insecure and vulnerable.

But those are good things. Ask for the opportunity, ask for to mentored, ask for help.

Ask.

Many people will say no.

A few will say yes.
