Hayao Miyazaki once said that love is two people inspiring each other to live. And living is more than simply existing, it’s noticing the beauty in ordinary moments, finding wonder in the everyday, and being fully present in your life. To love someone is to awaken that sense of awe in them, to make the simple act of being alive feel meaningful. I can’t think of a better way to describe it.

Dana White delivered a mindset shift that still hits hard.
At 54, he realized life doesn’t pass — it flies. You assume you have unlimited time when you’re young. You don’t.
So his rule is simple: there is no tomorrow. Maximize today. He’s not scared of death right now. What he dreads is looking back on wasted hours. His life is so fulfilling he actually hates sleeping — he’d rather stay up soaking in every single moment.
That level of urgency and gratitude is rare. Most of us drift through good years, telling ourselves we’ll go all-in later.
Hearing someone who built a global empire still treating every day like the main event made me pause. Time isn’t slowing down for any of us. The real flex is refusing to sleepwalk through it.
What’s one thing you’re committing to do this year instead of putting off — because tomorrow isn’t promised?"
J. Cole reveals that LeBron James is his oldest son's favorite player, and Bron met his kids at a Laker game after Cole asked last week

Life is amazing:
-gyms exist
-Coke Zero exists
-hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1
-every food item in the world has been hunted and gathered for you (grocery stores)
-you and your wife can drink 4 bottles of wine then smash all night without a condom
-you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a John Mayer concert
-you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country breaking your lower back for less than $1
There’s kids who live in wheelchairs. There’s kids born with disabilities. No Prom, no Shoulder Presses, no sleepovers with their best friends staying up until 2AM watching Interstellar.
And you’re not SMASHING the gym like a grateful SAVAGE!? Eating healthy 90% of the time, calling your friends for no reason, CRUSHING it in your career, asking for the promotion, asking out your crush making her your girlfriend then your wife!?
You’re spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion MIRACLE. You’re so lucky it’s absurd and you have nothing to lose :)
fuck a breakup, have you ever met someone and shared a brief but insanely intense connection with them and then suddenly the universe said "that's enough" and decided that you are not supposed to be together and you are left to be like hey wait what just happened?
The richest man in China, Jack Ma, said, If you put the bananas and money in front of the monkeys, the monkeys will choose bananas, because the monkeys don't know that money can buy a lot of bananas.
In fact, if you offer work and business to people, they will choose to work, because most people don't know that a business can make more money than a salary. One of the reasons the poor are poor is because the poor are not trained to recognize the entrepreneurial opportunity.
They spend a lot of time in school and what they learn in school is to work for a salary instead of working for themselves.
Profit is better than wages because wages can support you, but profits can make you a fortune.
If you don't learn to recognize opportunities, you will continue to choose the safe path rather than the profitable one.
