🧘‍♂️ Optimizing for a Peaceful MindThis is a bit of an experiment so let’s play together and see where this thing goes.

Something to chew on

What if our most ambitious dreams actually inhibit our growth?

In a society obsessed with achieving I enjoyed this take from SadhGuru in a conversation he has with Matthew Mcconaughey.

He said I hope you never achieve your dreams, because your dreams are only hallucinations of what you already know. When you embrace the unknown you open yourself up to an experience that could far exceed your wildest dreams.

Pretty cool. The unknown can feel scary at first, but on the other side of this fear usually lies something truly rich and novel.

Gut Health & Immunity

Although your government and social media overlords may make it seem that your only hope for staying healthy is by masking up and taking pharmaceuticals; rest assured there is a wealth of scientific research that says otherwise.

One place to start that doesn’t get enough press is in your gut.

Scientists have found that 70% of the immune system is housed in the gut.Want to boost your immune system? A great place to start is by limiting processed foods, eating foods like sauerkraut or kefir and keeping stress low through meditation and proper sleep.

🗝️ The Key to Growth in Your Career

Have you heard the story about the creator of Hot Cheetos?This dude literally went from janitor to top executive at Pepsi Co. by taking extreme levels of ownership when everyone around him was doing the bare minimum.Listen to this conversation to spark some ideas about how YOU can own your job and create more growth opportunities for yourself.

Freedom

I just finished reading Yeonmi Park’s story of escaping the horrors of North Korea only to come to the United States to see how the woke movement is starting to take us down a similar path.I am so proud to be from the United States, because of the freedom and liberty that we all get to experience here.

This book illustrates what can happen if we continue to willfully give away our freedoms. It also provides amazing perspective on how good we have it right now.
