The thing about stereotyping is it’s usually just throwing rocks into a crowd hoping to hit somebody who deserves it. – Criss Jami

From one AD until 1700 the average lifespan globally was approximately 28 years old. By the year 1800 it had gone up a whopping one year to 29 years old. By 1900 it was 32 years old by the year 2000 it was 67 years old and by the year 2023 it was 73 years old. You can claim that life sucks all you want, but thanks to modern medicine and science you get to live a lot longer of that sucky life on average.

Mel Robbins crushed the biggest self-help myth in 54 seconds: You CAN’T choose how you feel — but you CAN choose what you do about it. “Feelings aren’t a choice. Your behavior and your thoughts are always a choice.” She’s brutally clear: You don’t control the wave of emotion crashing over you — exhaustion, anger, fear, laziness — but you decide whether you ride it, fight it, or let it sink you. Even when you’re drained, annoyed, or unmotivated, you can still: - Drag yourself to the gym - Speak lovingly to your spouse - Push through the hard work that matters That gap between what you feel and what you do? That’s where real character is forged. Stop waiting to “feel like it.” Start acting like the person you want to become — feelings be damned. What’s one thing you’re going to do today… even though you don’t feel like it?
