Wowww great advice thanks

And if your best is not THE best you should forgive yourself and not beat yourself up for it…

This is more demotivating than motivational:/

To catch them is my real test

I fear Grizzly bears. But I took your advice and tried to "Do" a grizzly. It did not end well for me. The bear was annoyed but due to hibernation was not quite lethal. I guess the lesson is "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

I never liked kids, and never wanted to have any, but I have nieces and nephews, and they're the most amazing things. I love spending time with them. They look up to me way more than I deserve, and being around them makes me a better person.

Still never want to have my own kids, though--they're freaking exhausting.

Good on you for making sure you model good behavior for kids. Being mean is a terrible influence. They have their entire lives to learn about cruelty; I don't want any of it to come from me. Sounds like you've made a similar decision.

So if you suddenly make a great progress, you can't move forward??

Man I hope so. She’s type 1 diabetic, I think she has kidney disease and she’s started smoking again. Sigh. She’s been under a ton of stress over the last years and I wonder if she’s gonna have a heart attack from it soon.

But.. her mom was also type 1 diabetic with CKD and lived to 87. Also smoked some. And her dad lived to like 88. So… hopefully my mom will have the same longevity. Lol

This 100% did not happen.

I'm getting exhausted while holding on... How many more years and decades do I have to hold on?

One of my sister's friends used to do off-the-cuff "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" bits starting at like age seven. She wasn't super creative with it at first, but did a pretty passable imitation of Robin Leach's accent.

I'd say it's both. The kid clearly enjoyed the fun voice, but understood the commentary as play (i.e. not real). That's why she'd ask at the end of the night, "did you really like it?" Then she got direct, explicit positive reinforcement.

And those direct comments were probably taken to heart. Kid probably used those to focus more on specific parts of her work. Little kids can be surprisingly perceptive long before they develop adult intellect, focus, and sensibilities.

I would definitely say this was an "it's both" situation.

That’s so cute

No

This could be the thing we all needed today

Honestly at least I’m the US we need to instill term limits on the house and senate, and take care of the wide spread gerrymandering, and it’ll fix itself. Unfortunately the right has managed to drive a wedge between the people using religion to control them, so half the population votes against their own interests and another quarter of them is so poorly educated that they don’t understand how the government actually works.

I’ve been thinking about this problem a lot lately and I am absolutely stumped on how to get past it.

To be true, the stairs should get ever so slightly higher with each day of consistent effort.

I needed this. Thanks.

This is the least motivating thing I've seen. So basically if u start but ur not consistent, at some point ull be fucked and cant go up from there? Might as well not start until ur are u can be consistent at it

Chills!

Also remember perfect is the enemy of good enough. Doing your best may mean you are not finishing anything at all. Beware.
