It is human nature to look for & live in an echo chamber. This does not serve us well, collectively. Ignorance is not bliss, it’s dangerous.

#MyTwitterAnniversary This reminder sent us looking back at the past decade. The huge goals we set, what we actually accomplished & what's left on our 'To Do List.' Here's to celebrating, reassessing, & charging into the future.

“I have learned to look when I want to look away. I have chosen to stay when I’d prefer to run out of the room and cry. The prelude to compassion is the willingness to see.” Dr. Sunita Puri NYT 23 Feb 2022

Did you know music can regulate mood? Music engages the neocortex of our brain, which calms us & reduces impulsivity. We choose music to match or alter our mood.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on them. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. ~Jack Canfield
