RFK Jr. made one simple decision that changed everything. After 14 years of heroin addiction, he read Carl Jung’s book on synchronicity and decided: “I’m going to start believing in God — even if it improves my chances of recovery by just one percent.” He started “acting as if”... there was a higher power watching him, that life was a test, and he had to do the right thing even when no one was looking. The very same day he finished the book, an improbable synchronicity happened on a volleyball court that made him think, “This is God talking to me.” It was the beginning of his 43 years of sobriety. A raw, powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest intellectual leap — “I’ll act as if” — can open the door to real transformation. Have you ever had a moment where “acting as if” something was true ended up changing everything for you?show more

Acting like you are ok until you are works well,I've had times that I didnt think the bad would end or just sad & decided to just act like a robot..wake up, put one foot in front of the other, get dressed, clean house, feed cat, go to work, pretty soon it got much better, works!

Reminded of ~ "Think about "the Lord's Prayer. Its very first words are Our Father.... 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 ... 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 ... but you are not a being like The Son of God, whose will and interests are at one with those of the Father: you are a bundle of self-centered fears, hopes, greeds, jealousies, and self-conceit.... What is the good of pretending to be what you are not?... When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do ... is to put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are.... 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲. That is why children's games are so important. Children are always pretending to be grown-ups—playing soldiers, playing shop. But all the time they are hardening their muscles and sharpening their wits so that 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧-𝐮𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭. The moment you realize 'Here I am, dressing up as Christ,' it is extremely likely that 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞...𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. 👉🏼You will find several things going on in your mind that would not be going on there if you were really a son of God.👈🏼 Well, stop them....The Christ Himself, the Son of God who is man (just like you) and God (just like His Father) is actually at your side and is already at that moment 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.... He is beginning to 'inject' 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐙𝐨𝐞, 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮; 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧. 👉🏼𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐧."👈🏼 —— C.S.

That's weird—for some strange reason I've had the song Synchronicity by The Police stuck in my head for the last two days. I like the band but that was never one of my favorites and I don't think I've heard it in decades. 🤔 A lot of interesting things happened this Lent & Easter

watching the trailer again it seems to me like chan is being given 2 options 🤔 this (the regular life where he had a normal job) or that (the life where he's rich and famous). even though he tries to choose 'this', his voice comes out all distorted and the barista insists on giving him 'that'. and even the cup that he presented as 'this' was turned so it actually read 'that'. as if he never had a choice at all and his fate was already decided for him

Ben Affleck says the worst day of his life wasn't losing his career, it was realizing his addiction was hurting his children. Affleck says getting sober was one of the hardest things he's ever done. > "At the beginning, it's very, very hard." He says addiction convinces you that it's the only way to ease your pain. > "You've taught yourself this is the only way to ease my pain." After years of trying to stay sober, he realized that willpower alone wasn't enough. > "You can win a thousand times... you only have to give in once." The moment that changed everything wasn't about his career or his finances. > "It was not my career or money... it was my relationship with my kids." > "That was the worst day of my life." Affleck says that realization changed his perspective completely. > "Since that day... I have not ever wanted to drink once, ever." He says recovery didn't just help him stop drinking, it made him a better person. What's one lesson you've learned that completely changed the way you live your life?

In the middle of Mass, a grandfather received the news that his grandson had committed suicide. With no one to comfort him, he went up to the altar and embraced the priest. It was as if God comforted him through him. 🥺

Joe Rogan recounts how one music video allegedly ended Billy Squier’s career Joe Rogan: “Do you know the Billy Squier story?” “Billy Squier was the shit when I was in high school.” “He had that song ‘Lonely Is the Night.’” “He was fantastic.” “Then he did one music video that was… very effeminate.” “Everybody was like, ‘Nope.’” “To this day I don’t know if it was his idea or somebody else’s.” “I pray to God it was his idea because at least then it was a creative decision that just didn’t work.” “But if somebody tanked his career because they wanted him to act feminine in a music video…” “The guy was a sex symbol.” “He was a star.” “One music video tanked him.” (They then look up the story.) The article says the video for “Rock Me Tonite” has been described as one of the worst music videos ever made. It also says Billy Squier’s concert ticket sales immediately declined afterward, leading him to fire his manager, whom he accused of changing the video’s original concept.

The Day God Placed 7 Eyes on a Stone – A Hidden Biblical Miracle That Changed Everything The day God placed the seven eyes on a stone, something invisible changed history. Jerusalem was in ruins, and Joshua, the high priest, was being accused, pointed at by everyone, even by Satan himself. But just when the condemnation seemed certain, God stepped in. ‘No, he is mine.’ And then he placed a stone before him. But this was no ordinary stone. God had set on it seven eyes. Seven — the number of perfection — because those eyes represented something terrifying: a gaze that sees everything, nothing hidden, nothing outside the judgment of God. And then he declared, ‘In a single day, I will remove the sin of this land.’ Joshua didn’t understand everything, but he knew one thing: that stone was not just a sign, it was a promise. Jesus, the living stone, the one who sees everything and the only one who can forgive. And when that day came, everything changed.

This home inspector was asked to do an inspection on what they call a unique home. Upon arrival, he didn’t think it would be as bad as it was. As soon as he opened the door, there was a custom made bar built out from the closet. Adjacent to that is a door leading to a very angular room. From rooms that aren’t square or rectangular to a room that even had a stage built in, one can only speculate what this house was for, can you guess what the owners used this for?

Mel Gibson says he smoked for 45 years and one book made him quit for good. Gibson says he'd tried to quit countless times, but nothing worked. Then his son handed him a copy of The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. At first, he ignored it. > "I used to walk past the bookshelf and go, 'Dumb book, dumb title.'" Everything changed after his doctor told him he had early-stage emphysema. So he finally read it. > "I read the book and I stopped." Gibson says the book didn't rely on fear or guilt. Instead, it used simple psychological techniques that completely changed the way he thought about smoking. > "The whole thing was a mind trick... but it worked." He says it remains the only thing that ever helped him quit after more than four decades of smoking. Have you ever read a book that genuinely changed your life?

This part will shock you. Rep. Burlison said he spoke to someone who was allegedly contacted by non-human entities … … and this person was told: “Jesus was a real figure that was the son of God, and transcended his human nature.” “The more that I’ve interacted with this, it becomes abundantly clear that religion is unavoidable.” “One of the more interesting conversations that I’ve had was from an individual who was highly recommended to me.” “He came to my office and he was a high profile, very wealthy individual, very successful.” “His entry into this phenomenon is that he thought he was going crazy—he was hearing voices, he was receiving messages.” “He started experiencing things that demonstrated that what he was experiencing was not just delusional thoughts.” “He was told by whoever or whatever was talking to him … that Jesus was a real figure that was the son of God, and transcended his human nature.” “This is the way this guy describes it.” “This guy went from being raised Jewish, turned atheist, having never read the Bible, to suddenly start believing that this character Jesus might be the real thing.”

RFK Jr.’s spiritual awakening happened in one moment. He had just decided to turn his life over to God. While playing volleyball in rehab, a ball flew high, hit the pole, and he jokingly said out loud, “That ball is gonna get hit by a Mack truck.” Seconds later, the ball rolled straight into the road and got crushed by an 18-wheeler, exactly as he predicted. He chose to see it as a sign instead of coincidence. From that day on, staying in surrender started bringing miracles into his life. That story is powerful. One small shift in perspective can completely reroute everything. When you stop forcing life and start paying attention, things begin to work with you instead of against you. What’s one moment that made you believe there might be more at play than just random chance?

Just as reminder - As if it weren’t disgusting enough on its own that Hank brought up Dr. Wolfe’s wife in open court, this was on the heels of the April 28 voir dire where Dr. Wolfe explained that his wife and children had been harassed because of comments Hank had made about him in court. He said it was a very difficult time for his family. Hank knew exactly what he was doing and chose to put Dr. Wolfe’s family in danger again, all with the intention of prosecuting a woman that he knows is factually innocent.

An eyewitness says the shot that took the life of Charlie Kirk was fired right after he was asked about trans violence, as if it were coordinated. He believes it wasn’t just one person acting alone, but several people working together. He also claims that someone in the crowd confessed to the shooting right after it happened, even though they didn’t have a weapon.

God’s Love Letter That Refused to Stay Lost - watch till the very end… I love how Jeff Foxworthy tells this one. During a Bible study with homeless men in Atlanta, he asked, “What is the Bible?” One man shrugged and said, “Just a book of rules.” Then another man, Wayne, stood up with tears in his eyes. He shared how he’d lost everything—money, home, dignity—after his mom passed. All he had left was her old Bible with a handwritten note inside, pointing him to Jesus. One night, in his lowest moment, even that Bible disappeared. Months later, while working a random cleanup job far from where he lost it, Wayne pulled a dirty book from the trash pile. He opened it… and there was his mother’s handwriting. The same Bible. The same love letter. God had brought it back to him. That moment changed everything. Wayne realized it wasn’t just a book—it was proof that God never stops chasing His children, no matter how far they run. The Bible isn’t a list of rules. It’s a love story written for you and me. And sometimes, God delivers it right back into our hands exactly when we need it most. Thank you, Jeff, for reminding us. 🙏 What a powerful reminder that you’re never too lost for God to find.

The man who invented modern fantasy didn't publish his first novel until he was forty-five. By that age, J.R.R. Tolkien had already built a respectable life. He was an Oxford professor, an expert in ancient languages, with a wife and four children and a settled academic career. He was exactly the kind of man who might reasonably have decided that the shape of his life was already fixed. The work he would be remembered for, he had not yet even begun... The story, which Tolkien told himself, is that one summer he was grading examination papers, when he turned a page and found that a student had left it blank. Without quite knowing why, he wrote a single sentence on it: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." He did not know what a hobbit was. He had spent years inventing languages and mythologies as a private passion, and telling stories to his own children, never imagining any of it would reach the world. But that one line began to grow. It became a story, and then a book, and in 1937, at the age of forty-five, Tolkien published The Hobbit. It was a success, and his publisher asked for a sequel. Tolkien warned them it might take some time. It took 17 years... He wrote it in the margins of a demanding full-time job, revising endlessly, doubting it often. When The Lord of the Rings was finally published, in 1954 and 1955, he was in his early sixties. That book, begun as a middle-aged professor's private side project, went on to sell well over a hundred million copies, to invent modern fantasy as we know it, and to reshape the imagination of the entire world. Tolkien already had a full and respectable life behind him. And still, the thing he is remembered for, the thing that outlived him and reached hundreds of millions of people, was something he began at forty-five, at an age when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to tell himself he had already missed his chance. He didn't. It's never as late as it feels.

This was a victimless act not a crime, twickeham rugby club can make out it affected them but it hasn’t, saying in court they have to brief up their security, and get runners for matches, if security was that good he wouldn’t of got in there, they have one job, Today, your boy Jarvo has been jailed for 15 months after an ID was found in Twickenham rugby club one day after Daniel. Was there doing one of his stunts, a corrupted jury gave him a guilty verdict. He has never used an ID to gain access to any stadiums. This was purely meant to be at the start of the YouTube video to make people question why they gave him Id, and it looks a bit ridiculous on camera if the clubs are now giving guest passes for him, he has been found guilty of fraud based on the assumption the id was his and he dropped it, and had he been questioned he would of used it, and sentenced to 15 months, the court made out Twickenham rugby club has Mass changed its security protocols as a result of one person sneaking in and fitted turnstiles cost them over £1000 extra per match absolute made up ball and this sentence is just purely because he has embarrassed a few corporations and made it look easy to sneak in, the twat moron who pushed him over on the day made out he was doing some sort of good deed and that Daniel lining up with the players was a threat and he got him out even tho we have footage of the ex cop saying he knew who he was and clearly wanted to look like the big shot, do gooder #freejarvo

Was there doing one of his stunts, a corrupted jury gave him a guilty verdict. He has never used an ID to gain access to any stadiums.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode. At 28, mark pincus finds himself unemployed (fired by John Malone, Bain, and others), with few prospects. He had big dreams, but the world wasn't cooperating. This is how he turned things around. what "I realized I had nowhere else to fall from this because I just felt like I’d made a lot of bad career decisions and I was washed up early and I just sat there in this temple." It was a good place to sit and think because he didn't know anyone and didn't understand anything. "And I just started writing in a notebook about why my life sucked so badly." This book, a journal he's kept every year that he calls the book of life, allows him to take an accurate accounting of his life and change his mindset through reflection. After writing for hours about how bad his life sucked and all the mistakes he'd made, he focused on one small thing. "I just ended on this one thing: that I smoked cigarettes. I didn’t even smoke smoke. I smoked like one or two a day, a pack a night if I was at a bar on weekends, but I hated it ... I didn’t want to do it, but I kept doing it." He felt like his life was out of control, but this was one thing he could control. "I just was like, if I could do one thing to know that I’m making some positive change in my life, I’m going to quit smoking. So on October 19th, 1994, I did a lifetime quit on cigarettes and then every day for that year after that, that I didn’t smoke, it was something I could feel good about. So I was like, okay, I did something for myself today by not smoking." The wins started to stack. I asked him what he was writing about. What was his process? "At that point, I had no structure or process. I was just writing, and there was so much in me." Was it anger? "It was. I did feel angry and frustrated and I was like, I had all these dreams. I wanted to be an entrepreneur from early on and I was an achiever. I thought I was an achiever, but I was not achieving." He's done the same technique every year: "What it’s done for me and I think it could do for a lot of people is just be strategic about your life, like be thoughtful about, I like to say, what would your future self thank you for doing this year and what wouldn’t?" And that question is the one that really matters. What can you do today that your future self will thank you for? What the book of life did was hold him accountable and force him to make tough decisions that his future self would thank him for.

Senator Tim Scott was visibly emotional on CNN as he remembered his friend and fellow South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. SCOTT: “Well, Jake, gosh, America’s lost a true statesman.” “We don’t have many left. But he was a true statesman.” “But I’ve lost a friend. It is a morning of mourning for me.” “It’s a powerful reminder that life is fleeting, that we are not here very long.” “If I were to tell stories about Lindsey Graham, one of the most important stories is that when I was a new senator, he welcomed me in.” “He knew that my path was different. He understood the power of change in South Carolina and how much our state had changed. But he was one of the first folks in the Senate to welcome me in with open arms.” “And I will say that I do a South Carolina Prayer Breakfast every year in D.C. And I called Lindsey the first time, and Lindsey said, ‘Tim, if this thing starts before 10 A.M., I’m not coming because I’m not going—even if Jesus comes back before 10 A.M.’” “And I just laughed out loud. And of course, it started at 8:30. And who walked in the door at 8:31? Lindsey Graham.” “He was just the kind of committed person that you don’t really appreciate how committed he was to America.” “I can’t think of a more committed public servant to this country.”

Walton Goggins tells Tarantino he's not leaving the audition room — 'Getting the job is irrelevant to me' “I said: I'm not leaving. He said: what do you mean? I said: I want to read all of these roles. He said: what are you talking about? I said: getting the job is irrelevant to me.” “Quentin read every other role as if he was filming it. And then I read Leo's role and he read every other role as if we were filming it — and it was one of the greatest days of my life as an artist.” “A couple of months go by — and I get a call that he wants me to come and play with him. And that was the beginning of two of the greatest experiences of my life.”

This man wasn’t looking to adopt a dog. His wife and kids finally convinced him to go to a rescue, where they met Chi Chi — a one-year-old Chihuahua who had been severely abused. The moment he saw how scared and broken she was, something in him shifted. He knew he couldn’t leave her there. They were told one simple rule: no matter what she did, only respond with love. Years later, after going through some of the hardest seasons of his life, it was that same little dog who showed up for him when he needed comfort the most. Sometimes the very thing we weren’t looking for ends up being exactly what we needed. What’s something that found its way into your life when you weren’t even looking for it?

stefan van de graaff on what kit connor brought to the set of “one of us”: “so his agent had told me that he was the most professional person ever. and honestly, even that was a bit of an understatement. there’s a lot of signals that you can get from actors that sort of you perceive as the director, their level of commitment and passion for a project. and kit exhibited all of those in spades. as an example, you know, when you’re trying to get actors to come on set, and you have your ADs going to go fetch them, and they’ve been in the green room or whatever, waiting to kind of deliver their lines, sometimes it takes a while to usher them out. kit was, like, first guy on set every time, never had to be asked. he was just ready to go. and then the last guy, he was always the last one. he’d come to me and say, ‘do you want another one? do we do it again?’ you know, every time he was always the first and last. and that, on top of everything else, of just how kind he was, how he, i mean, he just ushered the set in so many respects of bringing the talent of everybody up to his level. and i think that everybody saw something almost superhuman happening when he would deliver those soliloquies after essentially memorizing them the night before flawlessly. i mean, literally, not asking for a line ever, rarely asking for a second take unless i was the one asking for it. i think that everybody was just kind of in awe of that, and that just elevated the production.” 🎥: mollyandanna_ on tiktok
