The scarcest resource in life is not time, energy, or love. It's attention.
Succumbing to distractions is a decision to lower your cognitive, emotional, and social intelligence.
Concentration is a precious commodity. Your most important priorities deserve your undivided focus.

Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites. instagram.com/p/B8HetscJLb9/
ALT Quote card that reads, "Here's what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: Worthy now, not if, not when, we're worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is." - Brené Brown

Pantone is playing it safe for its 2020 color of the year with a timeless classic. The company announced that next year's color is Classic Blue, a shade reminiscent of "the sky at dusk." cbsn.ws/2PgI3gr

To fix social media, the rewards for content online should mirror what's valued offline.
Prioritize high-quality information over high-voltage emotions.
Don't feed the outrage machine. Be an insight machine.

A good apology has three components:
(1) Acknowledge what you did wrong
(2) Express remorse
(3) Explain what you'll do differently in the future

"Love is so much harder than hatred. It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable. It takes time and intentionality. And it doesn’t often get elected. But love continues the dialog when logic fails." - Jon Foreman relevantmagazine.com/culture…

From Kazuo Ishiguro’s Nobel acceptance speech. Stories are about one person saying to another, This is the way it feels to me? Does it feel the same to you?

The ideal response to failure isn't dogged persistence. It's having the discipline to analyze your mistakes and the willpower to fix them.
Success is going from failure to failure without failing to learn. Learning is refusing to fail the same way twice.

It's amazing how many online discussions live at the bottom of the hierarchy of disagreement.
If you're in a debate and you call someone an asshat, you're the asshat.

Great advice here. Buck social pressure per Rule #3! One of my wife’s favourite gifts of all time is our built-in vacuum! What would normally be a #romanceFail actually became a #romanceWin. Honour your SOs requests precisely.
How Psychology Can Help You Select a Great Gift:
1. Choose practicality over expense/quality.
2. Go for long-term satisfaction, not initial enthusiasm.
3. Give people what *they've* asked for, not what you think they'd like
4. Pick experiences over things.

One of my first class passengers overheard a little girl tell her grandparents that one of her dreams is to be able to fly first class someday. He asked to anonymously give his seat to her once we were in flight & made her dream come true! We had a blast spoiling her. -FA Jamie
