"We are all creative. Creativity is a natural life force that all can experience in one form or another. Just as blood is part of our physical body and is nothing we must invent, creativity is part of us and we each can tap into the greater creative energies of the universe and pull from that vast, powerful spiritual wellspring to amplify our own individual creativity. As a culture, we tend to define creativity too narrowly and to think of it in elitist terms, as something belonging to a...

counterwill is an important developmental function, but it can be a hindrance to healthy relationship develeopment. it's important to recognize it is an instinct, albeit a frustrating one. so remember when dealing with counterwill, it's important not to ignore the rebellion but also important not to force control. instead, we should pay attention + focus on our attachment in the relationship, instead. “We may not be responsible for the way the world creates our mind, but we can learn to...

Today I'm sharing some thoughts on and from Gabor Maté's book, Scattered Minds. While many of us don't have ADD/ADHD, I think learning about psychology at any specificity can be helpful to anyone with a brain - especially if you choose to communicate with anyone who also has a brain. Basically, we're all lil weirdos who's brains crave and need attention + it gets a little tricky if we're not aware of the way we're asking for it. I especially enjoyed the point the author made about the...

Key quotes:  "...the way to keep the hungry hordes from storming the gates is by getting them food security now." "I made pro-social arguments for partnership and solidarity as the best approaches to our collective, long-term challenges. The way to get your guards to exhibit loyalty in the future was to treat them like friends right now, I explained. Don’t just invest in ammo and electric fences, invest in people and relationships." "What I came to realise was that these men are actually the...

Solving any type of problem can be likened to digging a hole. It is laborious work. And as you continue to dig, the uprooting becomes tougher because the problems you deal with are more compacted and nuanced. That said - it's CRUCIAL we remember that it's a great sign that the work is getting harder. It means you're making progress. Don't get discouraged. Take breaks, be proud you have come this far, and don't get too frustrated. You're doing a great job! Just. keep. digging! GET AN...

"Tech billionaires are buying up luxurious bunkers and hiring military security to survive a societal collapse they helped create..." "Their extreme wealth and privilege served only to make them obsessed with insulating themselves from the very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migrations, global pandemics, nativist panic and resource depletion. For them, the future of technology is about only one thing: escape from the rest of us." RESOURCE:...

Learning to embrace uncertainty may quite possibly be the most valuable thing you can do for yourself.

I have spent so much time searching for that ONE hack/tip/trick/secret that was gonna change my life. I realized recently, that it's dramatically easier to change your entire life, when you stop focusing on changing your entire life + you simply focus on where you are NOW. Let me be clear, that won't stop me from sharing every decent "hack" I find along the way, but it may stop me from putting so much pressure on the hack (and myself) to fix everything at once.
