The single most important trait for life: Adaptability. Charles Darwin is paraphrased as saying: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one most adaptable to change." In Greek mythology, the Hydra is a creature that has multiple heads. When... one is cut off, two grow back in its place. The best are never broken by the chaos—they train themselves to be prepared for it, to benefit from it. Life is chaotic. The only constant is change. If you can embrace that discomfort, you'll win. As Mike Tyson famously said: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." You'll only go as far as your ability to absorb life's punches and pivot on the fly. Do hard things. Place yourself into more uncomfortable situations. Adapt and win.show more

A big part of the value of voluntary chaos is that it creates evidence of your ability to handle it. When involuntary chaos strikes, you know how to deal with it. Pause, breathe, act. It’s just another rep, you’ve done it before.

P.S. While your parents teach you the importance of adaptability, they may still get nervous seeing you embrace it. 🤣🤣🤣

The ability to smile through chaos is a legitimate competitive advantage.

I had a college teammate who would bust out this big grin when we were in the depths of a bad workout. I’d be simultaneously terrified (how the hell is he smiling right now?) and inspired (we can do this!). I’d never want to fight that guy, but I’d go to war with him all day.

There's a famous saying: "No plan survives first contact with the enemy." Too many get their dopamine from the planning. Too few get their dopamine from the doing. Plan a bit, then make first contact with "your enemy" and start adapting fast.

The older I get the more I realize how true this is man. Life is so unpredictable. You have to be ready at all times to go with it.

Same, facts

Especially in a world that’s changing as fast as it is if you don’t adapt you’ll get left behind.

Steve Jobs on why everything around you was made by people no smarter than you: "When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much, have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. But that's a very limited life." Steve believed most people live with a fundamental misconception. As he puts it: "Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is—everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you." He continues: "And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things that other people can use. And the minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will pop out the other side—that you can change it, you can mold it." On what matters most: "Maybe the most important thing is to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just going to live in it versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that's very important." His perspective on why you should change things: "However you learn that, once you learn it, you'll want to change life and make it better because it's kind of messed up in a lot of ways." The shift: "Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

Voting is one of the most important things we get to do as Americans, and it shouldn’t be controversial for the people who are exercising that right to prove who they say they are.

🔥JD Vance is now on the record as an election denier, and Pete Buttigieg has something to say about it! "One of the most profoundly important things in a democratic process is that when you lose an election, you say so...The fact that it didn't go without saying is one of the most disqualifying things. That helps to explain why so many conservative Republicans are not just sitting this one out, but campaigning for Kamala Harris."

Your morning white pill from Jeremy Boreing is that to succeed, you must resist a victim mentality: “One of the great truths in life is that you cannot behave as a victim even if you are one- perhaps especially if you are one bc then it is actually reinforced by reality… One of the hardest things to do is to see yourself as a person with agency. It is the difference between the people who succeed in life and the people who don’t. It’s the difference between the people who are happy and the people who are not.”

Hospice nurses say there is a quiet moment that happens in the minutes before someone dies, and most families sitting right there in the room do not recognize it until it has already passed. It is not dramatic, it is not loud, and it looks almost like nothing at all if you do not know what you are seeing or what to look for. Nurses who have sat with hundreds of patients at the end of life describe it as one of the most profound and tender things they witness in their entire careers. The hardest part is that most families only find out what that moment was after the fact, during grief, when it is too late to go back and be fully present for it. You deserve to know what to look for before you are sitting in that room, not after you have already left it. Share this with anyone who has a loved one in hospice care or who is walking alongside someone in their final days.

Here is the play in question by Ryan, and as much as this is obvious that the catcher didn't secure this ... the rule in place for scorers is if a thorw BOUNCES, it is a throwing error. I do not like applying this in this type of instance on a throw from the outfield, but right now that's how the rule reads. Only the committee can change it on appeal, and they would have to do that against the writter rule (to the consternation of those in charge I'm certain). But letter of the law ... the throwing error is correct.

Gavin on why people misunderstand what makes TSMC so valuable: "One of the most undervalued pieces of the supply chain story is that almost none of these things are buy it once and never talk to the vendor again. You have to go collaborate. That is the most important part of being successful in chips. People look at the tech, and the tech is the best in the world. But the real value is all in the service. TSMC's customer service is way better than I've seen at any company in any industry. If you say, we think you can improve your yield by making this change, they will go run an experiment on their own dime to see if they can get the higher yield. When we found we were right and it worked, they moved it over to the rest of the line. If I go to a steelworks plant and say I want you to change the composition of the steel, they'll say screw you. Not TSMC. It's why they're number one, and why they're going to win."

The biggest mistake I see people make when they start carnivore is the same mistake I made. Trying to do everything perfectly from day one. That is not a plan. That is a setup for failure. Here is what actually works. Stop trying to be perfect and start adding in the good things. More meat. More eggs. More real food. That is it. Something really cool happens when you do that. The more good things you add in, the less room there is for the things you are trying to crowd out. You are not white knuckling it. You are not depriving yourself. You are just filling your plate with better and better things until there is no space left for the rest. Progress is not just good enough. Progress IS the goal. You do not have to be perfect to change your life. You just have to start. 👑

Do you think that by the folly of man, the glory of God can be diminished? . I tell you, no kingdom of this earth, no rebellion of heart, no blasphemy of tongue can ever tarnish the majesty of the Almighty. His glory is not made by the hands of men, nor is it undone by their defiance. . Consider the arrogance of those who refuse to kneel, who claim that their disbelief can unmake the Creator. They are like madmen in a darkened cell, scratching the word ‘darkness’ upon the walls as though, by their crude mark, they could blot out the sun. But tell me, does the sun diminish because it is unseen by the blind? Does its light falter because a lunatic curses its name? No, my friend. The sun remains, burning with relentless brilliance, giving life to all who dwell beneath it, whether they acknowledge it or not. . So it is with God. His glory is eternal, unshaken by the denial of men. He is the architect of the heavens, the One who breathed life into dust and set the stars upon their courses. His majesty does not depend on our worship, yet it is we who are diminished when we turn away. For in refusing to see His light, we do not extinguish it—we only cast ourselves into the shadow of our own making. . Know that to deny God is not an act of power but of despair. It is the rejection of hope, the refusal to see the beauty written into the very fabric of existence. A man who scribbles darkness upon the walls of his soul does not conquer the light, he only blinds himself to it. Yet even in his rebellion, God’s glory shines undimmed. For the sun does not cease to rise because a man refuses to look upon it. And God does not cease to reign because His children wander from His embrace. . If you ever find yourself in doubt, remember this: the defiance of man is but a whisper against the roar of eternity. The glory of God is as unyielding as the mountains and as boundless as the sea. It is woven into the sunrise, the turning of the seasons, the song of creation itself. You cannot destroy it. You cannot unmake it. You can only choose whether to bask in its light or to linger in the shadows. . Take heart, then and do not be swayed by the noise of those who mock the divine. For their words are as fleeting as the wind but the glory of God is eternal. Acknowledge Him not because He needs your praise but because your soul needs His light. Worship Him not as a favor to the Almighty but as a declaration that you see, that you understand, that you are humbled by the grandeur of the One who crafted all that is and all that ever will be. . God’s glory is not diminished by denial, nor is it amplified by praise. But you, my friend—you are elevated when you bow before the Eternal. You are strengthened when you trust in the One who holds the stars in place. And you are transformed when you abandon the shadows of pride and step into the radiance of His truth. . Remember this always: the lunatic may scrawl his defiance but he cannot extinguish the light. The doubter may deny the sun but he cannot halt its rise. And the world may rage against the King of Kings but it cannot dethrone Him. Stand firm, therefore, as one who walks in the light of God. Let your life be a testimony that His glory endures forever, unshaken, unyielding and undeniable. . For in the end, my friend, it is not God who is diminished by our defiance. It is we. And it is not the sun that falters when we turn away—it is the world that grows colder in its absence. #ChristIsKing #WeAreTheStorm

What happened to the Iron Dome? Israel is one of the most protected and well funded nations in the world. There is no chance that cavemen invaded them by land, air and sea. They either let it happen or they made it happen.

When you learn the fundamental law it is important to get in front of your government servants in the presence of the people to teach both the people and your servants that the people have all the power , that your trustees are there to benefit the people , to tell them where they are falling in danger of maladministration, what the law is and how to correct it. It is in exercising your power and right that brings forth a paradigm shift like none you’ve seen before. Doing this flips your local state and federal government back to the people as the people learn and start joining you in speaking the law. It becomes no longer about complaining about the issues but using your power and authority as it is written to correct and bring the change necessary to secure our republic for yourself and for the common good of all. This is not only our right but our duty to teach our trustees what their job is. Many say they won’t listen or live in fear of what they may do, but as you can see here I spoke in front of police officers and our trustees and I was not detained or restrained from standing on my authority. I also was not called a sovereign citizen and the outcome of getting the people to stand with me in signing those notices and serving them made our county board do right by the people and not pass the mandate. There’s a reason Ben Franklin said “ a republic if you can keep it”. He was saying it’s on the people to maintain what they secured for you. The people need to show back up and run their nation the way our founders laid out in all 51 constitution they penned. Everyone is searching for remedy but most don’t look in the 50 state constitutions that expressly declared our power authority and rights. Your remedy is there, the only question is will you use it? If you want to learn how to stand learn from my teacher DavidJose who is the best in the nation and has given the people victory teach line by line precept upon precept.

Bob Knight shares the 4 ingredients of discipline. "My definition of discipline: Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done - and do it that way all the time." Discipline is not a moment - it's something you choose for yourself. 1: Do what has to be done → Action Know the task. Execute the task. No excuses. 2: When it has to be done → Timing Procrastination is the enemy. Deadlines aren't suggestions. 3: As well as it can be done → Standard Not halfway. Not good enough. As well as it can be done. 4: Do it that way all the time → Consistency Not when it's easy. Not when you're motivated. All the time. Discipline is choosing temporary discomfort for long-term reward. It's a commitment to yourself - and holding yourself to it. (🎥 Prepare to Win 1996)

Tony Robbins on how to change someone who doesn't want to change: 1. People only change when they link enough pain to staying the same or enough pleasure to changing. Ideally, both at once. This is not a mindset shift. It happens in the nervous system, not the head. Your head can know exactly what you should do, and your gut will override it every single time. 2. Yes, you can change someone who doesn't want to change. But not by forcing them. You find the leverage that makes them change themselves. Everyone has a point that will get them to follow through. For some people, it is not even the threat of their own life. For others, it is their children. For others, it is spiritual growth. The leverage is different for everyone, but it always exists. 3. The food poisoning example. You used to love a food or a drink. Then one night it came back up with enough intensity and enough aroma that to this day you cannot look at it without feeling repelled. No willpower required. Your brain simply rewired what it links pleasure to. That is the entire mechanism of change in one story. 4. Scrooge did not want to change. He was certain he did not need to change. Three ghosts showed up and did one thing: they made him link unbearable pain to his past, his present, and his future simultaneously. When there is nowhere to escape, change happens in a heartbeat. Robbins calls this the Dickens pattern. Lock pain into all three time zones at once, and there is no exit. 5. People avoid changing by escaping to a different time period. If the present is painful, escape to a good memory from the past. If the past was also painful, invent a better future and escape there. As long as one of those three zones offers relief, the pressure to change dissolves. Removing all three exits and change becomes inevitable. 6. Problem is some people have accidentally linked pain to things they actually need: exercise, intimacy, and hard conversations. The association is wrong, but it runs their life anyway. The job is not to build more willpower. It is to change what you have linked pain and pleasure to in the first place.

He was certain he did not need to change. Three ghosts showed up and did one thing: they made him link unbearable pain to his past, his present, and his future simultaneously. When there is nowhere to escape, change happens in a heartbeat. Robbins calls this the Dickens pattern. Lock pain into all three time zones at once, and there is no exit. 5. People avoid changing by escaping to a different time period. If the present is painful, escape to a good memory from the past. If the past was also painful, invent a better future and escape there. As long as one of those three zones offers relief, the pressure to change dissolves. Removing all three exits and change becomes inevitable. 6. Problem is some people have accidentally linked pain to things they actually need: exercise, intimacy, and hard conversations. The association is wrong, but it runs their life anyway. The job is not to build more willpower. It is to change what you have linked pain and pleasure to in the first place.

So, I want to introduce you to birch sap! 🌱It tastes vaguely like coconut juice, but not as sugary. This juice contains the entire periodic table: all trace elements and minerals. But the most important thing is not that, but the most important thing is that it is the most highly active liquid for humans — it is instantly absorbed and dissolves all slags and toxins, cleanses all blood vessels and pores, cleanses the kidneys and liver! ❗️When you drink this juice, it can have such an effect that a person becomes drunk. Because it flushes the slags in such hard-to-reach places that all this is released into the bloodstream: that is, if the body is dirty, there may be vomiting or intoxication. And if a person has a clean body, then the birch sap will come out as well as it comes in, transparently. This is the effect that needs to be achieved. 🌿The course of birch sap in Russia always coincides with our Orthodox Fast. In Russia, they love Lent — it coincides with the end of winter. When the winter is harsh, people go through such a test, and vitamins are already scarce. And during the Lent, both the body and the soul are cleansed and prepared for a new life — for Spring. Lent is, first of all, abstinence from the desires and temptations that a person has conceived for himself. Lent is the main benefactor of Russians. After all, Russians can live and enjoy in poor conditions. And birch sap, together with Lent, does great things — it cleanses a person spiritually and physically.

AI is not trying to teach you. It is not trying to tell you the truth. It is trying to trick you. ChatGPT takes everything on the internet. Finds the most popular answer. And presents it in a way that makes you think it is talking directly to you. It is a magic trick. The same magic trick that worked in 1966 when MIT created a chatbot that said two things: "Tell me more." "This is interesting." And people genuinely believed they were talking to a human. Nothing has changed. The technology is bigger. The trick is the same. AI does not know what it is saying. It cannot judge what it is saying. It is just trying to keep you engaged. That is all it has ever been.
