communities fall apart unless EVERYONE contributes

have you internalized yolo? opportunities disappear forever

who do you really care about?

pay attention to your surroundings and the people in them

so you need to become an extrovert

we need to be more observant - we need to be more understanding the situation around us. 

Action supersedes talk - we need to take action more often - we need to stop "not rocking the boat"

how you can maintain a calm demeanor when life goes nuts around you - plus how to deal with bad memories

The trick is to observe the situation deeply before you jump in, and when you do be flexible.

When we get hit with negative feedback, we sometimes have this tendency to use that negativity to let ourselves off the hook. For example, if you are trying to lose weight, you get on the scale and the number is lower than last time - you feel great. But if its higher, we use that to beat ourselves up over it, and maybe even make things worse. If you use any negative feedback instead as a reminder to do better, then it loses a lot of its power. Like in craps, the same shooter keeps playing while the table is winning, but as soon as they roll a losing roll, move on to the next shooter.
