No one: Absolutely no one: Dan Campbell on 4th down:

The NBA is such a joke of a product 😭 “no basis to any claim of bias or misconduct” “technical foul was improperly assessed and rescinded”

how to feels to be a fan of invincible and just enjoy watching it without nitpicking every little thing

Eating the same meals on repeat was associated with 40% greater weight loss.

please get addicted to thinking positively and being delusional about everything in your life

recently it’s been hitting me hard how aggressively attentive & pursuitful u gotta be to your life preferences. otherwise years can just slip by unnoticed

When Kobe Bryant said his insane level of confidence came from knowing he’d done all he could to prepare, it taught me that anytime I’m nervous it means I didn’t prepare enough.

Michigan State HC Tom Izzo reflects on the growth from his team after reaching the Sweet 16. @MSU_Basketball

The legendary Tom Izzo drops a legendary quote, via @E_Matasovsky57: "At my place, we play for the players that played before us, and we play for the players with us. And we sure play for the name on the front of the jersey." 😤

"You just prolonged my retirement for two years. That is the ultimate compliment." Tom Izzo found inspiration when asked about his team's enthusiasm. 🙌 @MSU_Basketball

He fixed the feeling of “being stuck in life” in 30 seconds. (I wish I heard this earlier.)

Consistently and aggressively

Betting on yourself when you know you won't quit is the highest expected value move in existence. The house always wins because the house has better information. In your own life, you're the house.

This sounds absurd but it's actually true. While you can't just magically delete it in the moment, realizing that depression, anxiety, etc, are a habit you have rather than fundamentally who you are is the first step. The way your mind works is that every thought you have "grooves" your brain to have more thoughts like it. Every time you have a negative thought, you make it easier to have a negative thought in the future. Similarly, every positive thought makes future positive thoughts easier. If you let your negative thoughts run rampant without any positive counters all day every day, you deeply groove your brain such that it becomes really good at producing negative thoughts and really bad at producing positive ones. Thoughts produce feelings. If all your thoughts are negative, all your feelings with be. And thus you become "mentally ill". The solution is not to "solve all your problems". It is impossible to solve our your problems. Life in an infinite game of problems forever. And you won't solve any of them until you stop having only negative thoughts first (because you'll just say "whats the point?" "This is too hard!" catastrophize about how you'll fail, etc rather than actually fix them) The solution is to reduce the negative thoughts and increase the positive ones. This is what CBT does and why it's one of the few therapeutic techniques that is remotely effective. It's basically James Clear's Atomic Habits but for thoughts instead of behaviors. The CBT process is: 1. Notice that you are having a negative feeling 2. Specify what feeling it is 3. Identify the situation and thoughts around it 4. Isolate the unhelpful (negative) thoughts 5. Challenge them with more helpful (positive) thoughts When you do step 1-4 it helps you detach from and loosen the grip of the unhelpful negative thought, such that it doesn't keep digging. When you do step 5 you start digging the trench for helpful positive thoughts. Do this enough, and you slowly reduce the depth of the negative habit and start to build a more positive one. Yes, your genes and life experience can prime you to be more naturally drawn to positive or negative thinking. but such is true of all habits. Some people are biologically wired to have a unique enjoyment of alcohol. Others, exercise. Some grew up in a household that read a lot of books so doing it daily is easy. Others who grew up in TV only household find it harder. But everyone understands none of these behaviors are fundamental. Bad habits, maybe even addictions, but still not fundamentally traits. And thus, literally just deciding "actually I am not neurotic and depressed and angry, I am capable and driven and filled with joy" and repeating that to yourself 100 times a day DOES work. Its slow and crude and often needs more targeted assistance, but it will do far more than you might think, if you can simply get yourself to do it and be remotely open to the possibility that you could believe it.

@RussNFLDraft It’s about to be a great season. So annoying how many people are upset we’re not making huge splashes. These are all great signings that have potential long term if they develop. And they’ve been cheap. Looking forward to adding the rookies in!

Big plan for the Lions offseason has been to get younger. I’ve liked what they’ve done up to this point. Excited to see what they do in the draft. #OnePride

There is so much power in believing things will work out even if you don't know how or when.

He literally revealed the secret to become a super consistent and disciplined person:
