It’s as interesting as it is depressing to see how much time and energy people are spending on topics they have zero (potential) impact on, as opposed to utilizing their potential (Time x Energy) to start changing things for the better. Sharing worthless thoughts multiplies worthlessness. Changing things for the …
We are gatekeepers of our own thoughts. Just as we’re gatekeepers of our bodies. We don’t allow strangers to touch random parts of us. Of course not. But do we act as gatekeepers of our thoughts? If you grab your phone and open a news or social app, that’s the …
I’ve prompted it endlessly to myself. But need to read back sometimes. I write this as much to you as to myself. Coffee does this to me. It activates my mind. That activates me to drink more coffee. That in turn makes me restless and makes me drink more coffee. …
