Respectfully - I don’t see how mega-mansions and huge-trucks could be considered ‘environmentally safe’.

And people should also consider the “social-impact of earning”…

since most mansion-owners “leeched” their money via white-collar jobs at exploitative corporations.

…In my opinion - the entire downstream effect of our choices must be considered.

(I write this in the spirit of unified awareness - I know you aren’t pushing for mansions or trucks)

Yes - and I think connecting with your soul again means having real authentic fun.

Doing what you feel is right, and what you fully love to do.

It’s true - we channel our energy and creativity, for building what is good - beyond.

The ultimate method is:

Cultivate your own ‘Subscribed’ feed.

Then almost every post is good.

You choose your own level of involvement.

A friendly thought for you:

If your beliefs can change your body (which is part of the universe), and your changed body can further change the universe...

then transitively... your beliefs can change the universe, right?

And if that is true, then perhaps belief can be more than a placebo... Maybe it is a real, effective, psychological muscle.

Be honest:

Who do you think is more likely to hit the game-winning free-throw?

  • a guy who looks at the hoop thinking “aw crap I’m gonna airball, and everyone is gonna laugh at me”
  • a guy who looks at the hoop thinking “okay I’m gonna swish this, and my whole team is going to celebrate”

Many top-achievers describe the power of visualizing success (positive manifestation).

Many people who pray are cultivating healthy virtues (patience, kindness, strength).

Have you ever heard the term “self-fulfilling prophecy”?

Perhaps, you and I, in the wavering flux…

Perhaps so sloshed from the quick-hit buzz that a gritty clean start is the only high left.

A jagged split in the sodden wall…

The sadness breaks to release new life…

Shackles snap in a burst of speed… Mustangs gallop in the mountain grass...

Too many years spent hesitant… We forgot that sprinting is the purpose already…

A growing new vision about what is real…

Free again in the land beyond I.

Hold strong and stay true to your principles…

They need us more than we need them.

“97% of UPS workers represented by the Teamsters voted to authorize the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history if there's no acceptable contract deal in place by the end of July.”

What lifts are you doing?

If you focus on compound lifts (bench, chin-ups, squats), and push them to your limit, you will burn an insane amount of calories.

  • Hey - a lot of lifters would love to be in your position (you already have additional mass to convert to muscle!)

As for losing weight - my buddy lost 35lbs in 6 months, just by eating paleo (all natural foods).

On top of that, if you go for a full-sprint every day (or a mile jog), it will kick your metabolism into another gear.

Liftoff is an amazing app.

Also - your list has the old invite link for Liftoff.
