If you ask me, sensitivity is one of the greatest gifts a human being can be blessed with. But it’s also one of the biggest responsibilities and heaviest burdens. Make no mistake though, it IS a gift. In order to fully utilize it, you must be vulnerable, but antifragile. Open, but selective. Receptive, but assertive.

Was watching a couple of student movies that my little brother was involved in and got a bit homesick... so sharing this old Estonian classic. The title translates to "Smile" :) #tunestr

What would you give your life for? It’s an important question, not in just a hypothetical sense. Because that’s what you’re doing - giving your life - every day.

None of these things are asking for your opinion or judgment. None of these things will change according to your opinion or judgment. None of these things should be labelled “good,” “bad” or “mixed.” They just are. The only thing that’s worthy and in need of your opinion and judgment is how you conduct yourself.

What if believing it is true will make it come true? Or, more specifically, what if believing it is true is a prerequisite for seeing the path to making it come true?

Yo, are #zaps not working on my account or what? I see "reactions" and "likes" but... what TF am I supposed to do with those? They have no utility. They hold no value. #onlyzaps #V4V #plebchain View quoted note →

To overcome the duality you have to embody the opposites.

"WE ARE BITCOIN" We are the weirdos, the outcasts, the misfits. The rebels, the free-thinkers, non-conformists. Romantics, dreamers and believers, poets, truth-seekers, freaks and creeps. We are Bitcoin. We are all Satoshi. Written on 7th October 2023 #plebchain #Bitcoin #poetry #artstr

After listening to the latest Huberman Lab Essentials podcast on How to Increase Motivation & Drive, I have to make small amends to the statement quoted below. “Allow yourself to feel the victory of some small battles as if you had won the war.” View quoted note → I know it doesn't sound as cool as the original, but hey. At least it's accurate. Or, in theory, you could also revert it: "Allow yourself to feel the victory of every major war as if you had won a small battle" The podcast episode for those interested:
