In the case of an air pressure type emergency on the ✈️, before helping others you should put the mask on first. The same goes for helping others in any other way; help yourself first. How can you help someone with something if you yourself don’t yet know the best way of doing that something?

This may come as a shock to learn that (as reported here – and there are many similar reports, just Google them):

Fewer than 1 in 100 stroke survivors met all seven heart-health goals identified by the American Heart Association. And just 1 in 5 met four of those goals.

James Clear wrote the other day:

If you’d like to do something bold with your life, you will have to choose to do something bold on a specific day. There is no perfect day. There is no right time. For the trajectory to change, there has to be one day when you simply make the choice.

Even when I wrote that we seemingly haven’t learned anything, and that the war should never be the solution, I still didn’t believe that it would come to today’s “news”. I thought that we, as a species, have grown above such behaviors. I only wonder where this ends, and feel sorry for all the innocent humans (on both sides) :/

There are multiple quotes around perseverance (and images similar to the one in the post), and I’m all for it because I tend to believe most people give up too soon. However, until when should you be pivoting (fancy word for failing)? Until your run rate goes dry, until Nth pivot, until x event? What are the N and/or x?

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up. ~ John Maxwell

This one really hits home – what ‘thing’ are you blaming on your circumstances, instead of taking the responsibility?
