@jonstewart Jon, please, talk to Zelensky. He's waiting for your call.

Every mistake is an opportunity for our humility to outshine our frailty.

@jtimberlake You have brought joy, comfort, love, laughter and wisdom to 100s of millions of people. One stumble doesn't change that. We see you, know you and love you. Don't let the self-loathing bastards drag you down.

@KuhlSawyer This is why it's crucial to follow your heart, passion or curiosity. Those are the lighthouses that keep us focused, motivated and pointed in the right direction when the storms come, or results elude us. When our work aligns with our authentic self, we do best work.

Nobody tells you when you’re starting out how long, winding, and weird the road ahead of you will be. You might not embark on the adventure if they did.

If you seek safety, seek loving compassion for ourselves and others fearlessly.

We all have a basic need to feel safe. The highest form of safety is clarity in our perceptions and our mind. Both require peaceful self-compassion. We are safest when we are most loving to ourselves and others.

No one warned us that ideals are irrational and contradictory. It's not just you.

You get more done through love and compassion than manipulation and anger.

The world seeks neither our permission or our approval. Be like the world.

@WendyScott2024 Yes, it's a high bar. And we're worth it.

@blitteral Hard to do, for most people.

Love everyone, including yourself, exactly as you are, with no apologies, caveats or criticism.

There is no hating without self-hating.

Everything changes when you realize all of our problems are inside of us.

Success is living fully in this moment. Everything else is PR.

Being happy being alone prepares us to be happy in relationships.

Most-all of my biggest regrets came from not being true to myself.

The more I guard my peace of mind, the kinder and more patient I am with myself and others.

@alwaysbewriting I'm with you. I try to not eat after 7. And stopping earlier is even better. And, when I'm being good, I don't eat breakfast until 11 or so.

I've been noticing I've been hungrier during the evening hours, but one benefit is that I sleep better, with the logic being that I won't be digesting a heavy meal before bed. What about you? Would you consider, eating earlier for more restful sleep?

I've been experimenting with eating earlier in the day to attempt to get better rest during the evening hours. Today's meal ended at 5 p.m., and I won't be eating again until sometime around noon or later tomorrow.

@niftysovereign Making a man feel manly is the smoothest move a woman can make.

I'm very grateful this happens daily in my household.

@E_C_theWriter Someone referred to it as "creative gestation." Consider the problem carefully and as fully as you can, and then just forget about it for a few days. Then, after a few days, if you haven't already had an inspiration, revisit the problem.

My productivity brain when I'm reading for the night: "this isn't productive!" Also my productivity brain, the next day: "Come up with new ideas or else!" Reading and rest provide space for the creative brain to cook something spicy and delicious to write. Rest well, yall!
