Thoughts, everybody??
“Four thousand years ago, in the ancient Near East, women were poets, drummers, scholars, dancers, healers, prophets, and keepers of sacred space… From Enheduanna the poet-priestess of ancient Sumer to the oracle at Delphi, from the weavers of Athena in Greece to the prophetesses of Hathor in Egypt, from the vestal virgins of Rome to the drumming-priestesses of Crete, from the bee-priestesses who served Demeter to the warrior-priestesses of Scythia, women were facilitators of the connections between human and divine. This has been true all over the world in all times.”
— Rabbi Jill Hammer, PhD, The Hebrew Priestess

Essentialism, Greg McKeown
Be highly selective. Don’t attend meetings when you have nothing to contribute, don’t read newsletters if you already know or if it doesn’t really matter to you. Stop moving an inch forward in a million different directions and start gaining momentum in getting one major thing done.
Pursue less but better in a disciplined way
Warren Buffet owes 90% of his wealth to just 10 investments
On trade offs: don’t ask ‘what do I want to give up?’ ask ‘what do I want to go big on?’
Less, but better : if trying to start a journaling habit, start by always writing less than you want to. Usually, on the first day, you’ll write many pages, and then you’ll quickly start to dreading having to write so much. Until you’ve made journaling a habit, write very little.
Your strategy can’t be “pretty clear”. Anyone who wears glasses knows there is a difference between “pretty clear” and “really clear”.
Learn the art of the slow yes and the quick no
Beware the sunk cost bias: continuing something we would otherwise move on from, simply because we have already invested time or money in it. It’s a vicious cycle
To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, subtract things everyday. - Lao Tzu
Cues are essential in making routines smoother: if you charge your phone each night and you’d like to start journaling, put your journal right by your charger
Tackle your routines one by one: to get big results, we must start small
Eat mindfully. Live in the moment
Check in often to ensure meaningful progress
I took the shortcut because I planned to go to town and pick up my favorite chocolate milk :)) let’s say it didn’t worked out that way
My bike’s brake immediately became loose and I tried to fix it but ended up making it worse :))
The shortcut to the main town consists of mini hills that went up and down, some were steeper than others. I tried going down a few times but I nearly slipped down. So I had to resort to walking.
I got some pretty pictures of the freeway though!
I wasn’t able to go to the town but I took a few rests in between rides. Some parts of the road were wet and what happens to a biker wearing knee-high shorts and a brake that doesn’t work?
They trip and scrape their knee
And if that wasn’t the cherry on top, it showered for 5 MINUTES! Thankfully, on my way back home I passed by my grandparent's house and they just cooked their snacks and hungry, sweaty, tired me was more than happy to help myself.

I love a woman who is all about her craft and business . Her aura is peaceful, calm and grounded. Her vibe is pretty. Her whole existence is a beautiful moment .
For some people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning
