I’ve seen more progress from women using a pair... of dumbbells in their living room than some people grinding at the gym 6 days a week with no structure. If you don’t think home workouts work, you’re doing them wrong! You don’t need more equipment. You need more intention. And a plan that makes your body work for you.show more

“(They say) boycotting is only by the permission of... the ruler. The ruler has nothing to do with who you buy from & who you don’t buy from. Their affair is strange, they have put the rulers on the level of deities.” - Shaykh Mustafa al-Adawishow more

Islam is not a religion and it’s not compatible... with a Constitutional Republic. The foundation of Islam is Jihad. Jihad is Arabic for “struggle” or “striving.” Its goal is to build a just society and defend Islam. Their definition of justice does not include the modern western ideals of justice that we would embrace. Their idea of justice is living under Sharia law. Sharia courts are being used in Texas as Governor Abbott warned us this past week. Islam can’t be negotiated with it can only be defeated. I honestly see Islam as a modern day judgement against our nation for turning away from God. Our only hope is when America turns back to God.show more

This couple sold their home and everything in it... in 2019 and moved to Georgia where the husband was relocated for work. They moved into their 5th wheel Keystone RV full time and have been doing it for six years now. They planned on doing this for their retirement but decided to do it earlier because of the relocation. Now they spend their time traveling the country and checking things off their bucket list. They spend their summers at their family farm. They miss their adult children but the children meet up with them and sometimes travel with them. Some say they are jealous and this is their dream too but others say you should never sell your house because houses are gold right now and what if you get tired of traveling or sick and RV’s depreciate significantly. What do you think? Do any of you have this dream? Are you selling the house and all your possessions to live free like this? Could you travel this much? What’s your retirement dream?show more

I used to ask my New York friends Who... were living in nyc check to check With a 80- 100k a year salary Why not move down south Where you can make that 100k Really feel like 100k And you can have a home a yard And more luxuries And they loved nyc so much that even though it made logical sense to move They would rather struggle And say “I live in NYC” Than ball and say I live in “Charlotte, Savannah, Charleston” Which would give them a better quality of life It took me a while to realize that The big city is so much a part of their identity Even if its pricing them out and has them living next to mice It’s so much apart of them that if they can’t say “I live in nyc” to someone who doesn’t They would lose part of their whole identity I say all that to say Chicago people are the same wayshow more

When You Have Nothing… and Still Choose to Give... My children shared the last bit of milk we had with our cat — not because we had enough, but because we have absolutely nothing. Hunger is now a daily guest in our home, and the painful silence fills their empty stomachs. Hunger taught them mercy, and despite the suffering, kindness still lives in their hearts. All I wish for is a bite of food to keep them standing, a little warmth to chase away this killing cold, and a glimpse of hope in their exhausted eyes. I can’t provide them with food. I watch them grow weaker day after day… Their pain is tearing me apart. And still — they think of others before themselves. Have you ever seen hunger teach generosity? Can you imagine fear giving birth to compassion? That’s how my children live… in the harshest conditions, with the purest hearts. This is not exaggeration. We are living through a real famine. The cold seeps into our bones, and fear never leaves us. Our nights are long, silent, and cruel. If my voice reaches you, please — don’t let it fade. Don’t scroll past our pain. Every second of delay means deeper hunger… and deeper fear. To every merciful soul out there — we are pleading with you. Help us survive. Please donate and give my children a chance at life:show more

Want your child to take an interest in literacy?... Remember that in child development you reap what you sow. Daily reading (ideally configured face-to-face) is a wonderful way to plant the seeds of language and literacy with your baby from their earliest days. Not only will reading together substantially boost your child’s vocabulary over time, but it illustrates a powerful lesson: this is something YOU value and enjoy. And as I’ve written a thousand times, your baby wants nothing more than to be just like you. Don’t be discouraged as you get started. Infants have very short attention spans and will initially spend more time attuned to you than the book (hence the face to face), and may seek to explore books first with their mouths (which is why sturdy, laminated board books are a great first choice). Don’t let any of this deter you. Start small. But start. And make reading a part of your daily routine. As this lovely video shared to IG by sophia.s.playroom illustrates, the benefits can be huge.show more

Startups achieve success slowly, building their company brick by... brick. Founders can develop marketing leverage by building a viral or network effects strategy or… by partnering with larger companies who have great distribution themselves and trying to reach through to the end customer with premium offerings. Companies that build their distribution by coming in at a lower than market price should follow up with higher margin products or they will find themselves in a competition that we call “a race to the bottom.” It is mission critical for startups to work to build distribution and market share, but they need to then provide something that their customers can’t live without, and charge enough for it to support the continued distribution strategy. Startup founders: Look at every customer as a long-term partner, because you want your business to be a long-term survivor. Look at every supplier as a long-term partner and make sure they are healthy. Look at every employee as a long-term partner. You want them to grow with you and with the business.show more

We often think that our idols dedicate themselves only... to their work as actresses, without considering that in reality they devote themselves to many other things that we often don’t see because they are not published, and often charity and good deeds are done in silence, without being shown. But then there are videos that need to be shown to new fans or perhaps to those who don’t know about Lena and Miu going personally to do charity work, confronting realities that perhaps even during the course of a day or throughout life you don’t think you would ever see, and when that happens you find souls who are moved when they come into contact with these realities. During their birthday celebrations, they raised money which they then personally brought to the blind children’s foundation, confronting a very different reality from their usual one. They spent time with them, they saw these children playing the piano, and they gave them food, drinks, and basic necessities. Seeing all this not only opens your eyes to a side of the world that is often “forgotten,” but also makes you realize how lucky we are to be able to do something more for all these children with serious difficulties. Today we have another lesson from our beloved girls. Material good can never repay a good that comes from the heart, which is love. • Little Miracle ปาฏิหาริย์เล็กๆ เพื่อผู้ป่วยเด็กระยะวิกฤติ 🔗: • Ramais Happy: 🔗: #มูลนิธิรามาธิบดีฯ #ศิริราชมูลนิธิ #มูลนิธิโรงพยาบาลเด็ก #ลีน่าหมิว #LenaMiu #ลีน่าลลินา #lalinalena #หมิวณัชชา #MiuNatshashow more

⚡️Truth is the moment consciousness refuses to be captured... by comfort. That is why it matters. Anyone can “tell the truth” when it costs nothing. That is just description. The real test comes when lying would protect your image, preserve your status, avoid conflict, keep money flowing, satisfy the audience, defend the tribe, protect the ego, or maintain the illusion that your old map still works. That is where truth becomes moral force. A lie is not just a false statement. A lie is reality being bent to serve fear. It lets the person avoid contact with what is real. It keeps the dead pattern alive. It says: the truth is too dangerous, so the self will substitute a more convenient world. Do that enough times and the soul becomes unreal. Not in a mystical decorative sense. In a structural sense. The person loses contact with reality. Their words stop pointing outward. Their identity becomes a defense system. Their relationships become performances. Their work becomes propaganda. Their mind becomes a lawyer for its own comfort. Truth matters because it keeps consciousness aligned with reality. And reality is the only place creation can actually happen. You cannot build a real life on falsehood. You can build status. You can build money. You can build an image. You can build an audience. You can build a career. But the structure will rot because it is no longer in contact with the thing it claims to represent. That is why “telling the truth when lying would be easier” is sacred. It proves that something in you serves reality more than self-preservation. That is the beginning of freedom. Because the person who cannot tell the truth when it costs something is owned by whatever the lie protects.show more

Jimin Harper’s Bazaar JP Interview: 👤: They are aware... that they are loved all over the world, and will not cut back on what they can do for their fans, no matter how small it may seem. This attitude is shown through actions, not words. There has been a huge amount of reaction from fans, but have there been any that have left a lasting impression on you? 🐥: "While we appreciate all feedback, there are times when our fans respond with a song. A response with a song means more than any gift.”show more

You know those signs that say "Don't approach the... wildlife" in Yellowstone Park? Yeah, don't challenge them, either like this jackass. Bears aren't cuddly and cute--every single one of us up here knows someone who's been mauled by a bear, or killed by one. Every local has had a run-in with a bear. They will absolutely shred you to pieces. Their claws don't retract, and their claws are longer than most of your dicks. You wanna be shredded by a bunch of razor sharp dicks? Didn't think so. Don't approach the wildlife. ....Or do... whatever, I need the entertainment when it goes wrong.show more

Belgium’s🇧🇪 PM: ‘To negotiate with Putin, I think, is... not a very good idea, because as the Americans said, if you want to speak, speak softly, but carry a big stick. We don’t have a big stick. We can only speak softly.’ At least they realise their geopolitical uselessness… But as the longest serving Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said, “better ten years of negotiations than one day of war.”show more

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just illegally broke into another home... without a judicial warrant, this time in Jersey city. Witnesses say they followed a man who ran inside a house, and instead of stopping there… they forced their way in. They reportedly broke in the door, without showing a warrant, had no clear legal justification to enter the home, and they still couldn’t detain the person. And once again, this is a blatant constitutional violation. The Fourth Amendment is not complicated… The home is supposed to be the most protected space in the country. Warrantless entry is supposed to be the exception, not something that happens because someone ran inside. “Chasing someone” does not automatically erase constitutional limits. And then, local police show up… say they didn’t know about a warrant, and were seen shaking hands with the federal agents afterward. That just shows you how normal this is becoming… ICE agents just violated the Constitution… broke into a home... And instead of anyone being held accountable, and facing consequences you or I would absolutely face for something like that… police show up and shake their hands. We’re watching “emergency justification” slowly turn into standard practice… and once that happens, constitutional protections stop meaning anything.show more

She was once someone’s pet loved for a while... and then heartlessly abandoned when she needed care the most. Meet Misty, our rescued American Bully. When we found her, her skin was badly infected, full of rashes and wounds caused by neglect and carelessness. She was in pain, but still wagged her tail still hoping for love.

She gets along wonderfully with humans and other dogs alike. We are now searching for a loving family who can give Misty the forever home she deserves a home filled with care, warmth, and kindness. Please keep this sweet soul in your prayers as she continues her treatment for her skin recovery. And if you know someone who can open their heart and home to her, please help us connect. Every dog deserves love. Misty is waiting for hers. #AdoptDontShop #AnimalWelfareshow more
