How in the world can a plastic gas can cost $20? 2 gallons There’s plastic everywhere I could’ve brought my own plastic. I have plastic here. Now that I think about it, why are we even paying money for plastic. Crap is super toxic and terrible in every way shape and form and it’s everywhere. And no you’re charging me $20 for a gas can.

You do not train for ease, you train for mastery. Stay the course, make adjustments where needed, and do not let your emotions deceive you into thinking nothing is happening simply because results are not yet visible. Growth is often silent until it is undeniable.

Allow yourself the space to unwind, reflect on the positive aspects of your day, and embrace the moments of #peace. Tomorrow is a new day with its own set of tasks, but for now, relishing the present moment is a valuable act of #selfcare #mindfulness

The divide between the ways of the Force as practiced by the Sith and the Jedi has less to do with the distinction between darkness or the presence of light than between—in your case—naked cold and the presence of warmth. Between distress and comfort, entropy and predictability.

A heartbeat too late, and the universe has already shifted. Instinct is your only true guide.

Hope is the herald of the light. #mindfulness

The future is never fixed. The past is a story we tell ourselves. The only certainty? The moment you act.

“Jerry’s going to be a cable boy, Jerry’s going to be a cable boy”

I haven’t had fried chicken in 60 days it’s going to be a good Valentine’s Day present for myself.

That moment when you smash your little toe and then you continue to smash it because it’s gotten numb and you now misjudge distances. #Ow

Completion is its own reward. #mindfulness

I ate four Ho-Ho’s and now I don’t want dinner.

I am so over fear based people. Stop being afraid of every damn thing. Yes you’re going to die one day. That’s it. Everything that happens between here and now you know it’s a story.

Focus on making today a success. Not next week. Not next year. Not 10 in the future, and certainly not 10 years in the past. There is only today. #Mindfulness

“My job is not AI targetable. I am pretty confident in that. “ Yeah. You keep thinking that.

Star Wars: Shadow Fall, the second book in the Alphabet Squadron saga, is overall not a fantastic read. Set sometime after Return of the Jedi, it follows a cast of characters—some from Operation Cinder, others from key battles in the original trilogy—who are all dealing with trauma. The problem? Instead of progressing, they just relive the same trauma over and over. And by the end, a major event completely undercuts the entire journey, making the 11-hour listen feel pointless. Like the first book, this one lacks truly likable characters for me. The battles are well done, and the story tries to be engaging and insightful, but between the pacing, the way events unfold, and the overall tone, I just couldn’t connect with it. That said, I’ve started the third book, and it kicks off strong—so I’m hopeful for a solid conclusion. But Shadow Fall? A 2/5
