Be You-Do More-Have It All

@digiii Play in traffic long enough and you will get hit by a truck (in a good way).

stay in the game long enough to get lucky

@wisdomXplorer Regret is wasted time. You made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time. Learn and move on.

What's your biggest regret in your life so far?

Regret is an interesting feeling. I've decided that this is something I'm not wasting my energy on. I made the best decision I could with the information I had at the time. I think about what may have happened with another decision but only fleetingly. It's a waste of your time too.

Find your walk-up song, the song or songs that get you fired up. Play them first thing every day. Be your own hype man. Baseball players can't have all the fun. Start the day on a high note (pun intended) and tackle the day with gusto.

@digiii 💯If you read The Science of Scaling by Benjamin Hardy he talks a lot about this, coupled with an unrealistic aggressive time line for achievement. Great book worth your time.

no matter how unrealistic it seems, it's going to happen. Keep believing. Stay delusional.

Get in the practice of writing thank you notes. Texts can be ignored, calls go to voicemail, but a mailed, handwritten note will be read 100% of the time. You'll be shocked by the reactions you get from your recipients. It's been a great practice for me.

I turn 60 today so statistically my life is 80% over. Just recently I've started to adopt the word urgency as my mantra. Not because I'm older but because I have spent my life being the good corporate worker in a line of work I am very good at, but it is not exciting nor fulfilling. I have no regrets. I just want to explore more creative outlets. I never have because my self talk was overwhelmingly negative. Well, no more. I've started writing more, creating t shirts and exploring other activities. Life is precious so we don't have any time to waste. Let's have fun and get after it.

@MasteryNotes Agree wholeheartedly. Steps toward your goal, no.matter how small, make a big difference. Not only in achievement but in your overall psyche. You become a person who does things, who takes action, who is moving. Confidence, purpose and meaning follow very quickly.

IF YOU LACK SELF-DISCIPLINE, OPEN THIS. 1.

NO KINGS.

We recently had to put down our 15.5 yo cockapoo, Stanley. The depth of the grief I experienced was shocking. I felt guilty for a long time because I didn't feel the same grief when my mother and brother died. I wondered if I didn't love them as much as my dog, and that made me sadder. But I quickly learned that they are two different experiences. The constant presence, daily excitement, and unconditional love from a pet is a great experience and also an unfathomable loss when it leaves you. I still think about the people close to me who have died while also missing my dog. Both can exist at the same time. Please hug your pup and be grateful for every day you have with them.

This young adult is giving up on the American dream of working hard and making themself successful after one week on the job! What does this say about our future?

@readswithravi Psycho cybernetics. You have to make changes to your self image to effect any meaningful change.

What's a book that changed your life?

@thebeautyofsaas 💯I think everyone needs to take time each day to incubate their passion and sense of exploration. Making time to expand yourself only helps you in every other area of life.

you will never regret spending days finding what brings you joy, sparks your imagination and makes you appreciate the beauty of life around you. art, sports, racing, books, nature, architecture, woodworking or music… you need to find your unlimited source of energy and inspo.

@WisdomStoics Sometimes thinking of this question is scary. By thinking the opposite we are protecting ourselves from the let down if it doesn't workout. It's a typical half glass empty or full proposition. What if it all works out is much more fun to contemplate.

What if?

I felt this post in my soul. I had younger co-workers ask me if it was fun growing up in the 80s. I hadn't really thought about it but yeah it was awesome. People were real, racism wasn't really a thing. Assholes were assholes no matter what the color or ethnicity. In person was the only way to talk and get to know people. I miss those days. (Cue the Jurassic Park music). Hahaha

One of my contrarian takes: Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since. It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies. “Excess meets innocence.” The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity. Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX. Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech: Mobile phones The internet Social media AI All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society. We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one. Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction. Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

@WinSmith2022 @RedLineNewsUSA @westieTX That is an awesome picture. Great cartoon. I would've died for this toy as a kid. Love it.

@RedLineNewsUSA @westieTX Tesla needs to upgrade to basic Speed Racer technology… An automatic jack, saw blades or Spridle and ChimChim could have de-escalated the situation

@da_austinz @conductr_ Austin, I am sorry to hear that. But your quality of life is much better without the negativity. Find your tribe and ignore the rest. You're the man.

@BeYouDoMore @conductr_ My coworkers talk shit about me & I overhear sometimes. They say, I don’t talk to the ladies enough at work, that I’m too “cool”. I don’t like individuals with negative energy, all they talk about how men are so bleh, it’s gross & a turn off for me to engage or even fake engage.

People who went from insecure to genuinely confident, what was the one shift that actually changed everything for you?

@RoyceFitzklein @conductr_ It was very generic - I really don't like that guy. Maybe I am too tall, too friendly, had a gf, etc. Was initially very shocked but a slow realization and aha! moment hit me soon after.

@BeYouDoMore @conductr_ What did they say specifically? Just ad hominem bs or parroting others nonsense?
