Deliberate practice over time is the only way progress can be made because that is the is the nature of progress: it compares points in time and the difference in output between them. This cannot happen unless you get in the ring daily weekly or at your chosen consistent interval to grow yourself and your craft
Take some time to give to others on a day that’s supposedly all about you. Donating to the community on your birthday is a great celebration of self because it reflects your position in life being one where you are able to give out of an abundance as well as a celebration of your love for others and how we exist in an ecosystem that we all have a responsibility to make better, not in a silo.
I was awoken to some insights around technology and social media by watching the Social Dilemma that I wasn’t aware despite using these products every day and being a Product Manager myself. What are your thoughts on the state of machine learning in technology, specifically social media? What would you change? How do you plan to implement that change in the world?
People do a lot to pull from and pour into their relationships with others. I think that something that has really uplifted my life is remembering the relationship that I have with myself to pour into as well.
Boldly go where no one has gone before in order to discover aspects of yourself that you wouldn’t have known before
We’re a lot more similar to machines than we may like to admit. One way is in that we learn from the thousands of inputs we get throughout our day. One thing we learn from that is what it means to beautiful, in often highly unrealistic and narrow minded form. I call on you to help reduce the harmful data points out in the world by letting your beautiful be seen unfiltered unedited in the world for others to join you in contributing to a culture of honest true beauty
You don’t always have the ability to consistently put out the greatest 4K ultra HD 3D film of all time out but that doesn’t mean that your craft isn’t worth creating because it’s shot on home video. Take what you have at hand and start expressing yourself before you feel ready to. You’ll learn so much in the process that when you do have the perfect materials and opportunities at hand, you’ll be all the more ready. Success is where opportunity meets preparation.
Staring into a screen all day to get to work from the comfort of your own home means having to be extra intentional in taking care of your own eye health. Here are little tricks to keep those eyes moving, seeing, and comfy as well as learning to incorporate physical activity into your day despite being glued to your desk.
A reminder to you and myself that everyone isn’t going to like us, at times for reasons far beyond our control. So we act on what we can control to resolve the situation and accept what we can’t. It’s hard not to take things personally even after you realize it may have nothing to do with you; even though it hurts, doesn’t mean you have to continue to suffer.
Using self awareness and regular reflection so that you can truly live a life with #noregrets. Life is long enough if you live it right but only you can define what right looks for you. Happiness and fulfillment are the measures of success. How do you measure up?
Therapy isn’t one size fits all. Your experiences and your mind is unique and deserves catered care and attention. A poor therapy experience doesn’t mean it doesn’t work! Prioritize mental health care as preventative, rather than reactive, medicine if you can access it so we can all work to a better, more holistic world with fewer stigmas and self care that actually cares for the self.
Yes, even if you’re Black. No, it doesn’t need to be SPF 100. Yes, even indoors. No, SPF in your makeup doesn’t count. Just please wear sunscreen-mineral or chemical or mixed-for your health, for your safety, and for that forever youthful glow. **I AM NOT AN ESTHETICIAN or DERMATOLOGIST** also, CHEMICAL exfoliant is what I suggest whereas I mistakenly briefly said physical exfoliant in the episode
There’s no need to clap for meeting a basic standard of human rights as if it’s an act of kindness or a luxury. Universal rights and access should never been up for debate in the first place. Diversity initiatives may be analogous to getting an invite to the party but I need the whole party to be rethought if you want my presence to be more than a photo op.
We all want so badly to be heard, listened to, and validated within ourself and with others. Yet? We rarely give ourselves the space to spend time alone with our thoughts, to fully experience our emotions as they are, or to let others explain their perspectives fully before we jump in to defend, deny, or disagree. Maybe, just listen?
People will hide offensive language and demeaning comments under the escape of “issa joke” only to gaslight you in exchange for you addressing an important fact: hurtful humor isn’t funny.
After graduating, it was hard for me to understand “who I am” now that my identity wasn’t associated with the things I’d accomplish in school. It dawned on me that there’s no need to panic in scrambling to figure out who I am because who I am is already here and now; if anything, it’s just to make that explicit.
It would be really unfortunate to spend your whole life chasing a salary only to realize that the you sacrificed the things the salary was supposed to allow you to buy to get it: happiness, time with people you care about the most, and freedom. I prefer to live the life I truly want to or die trying because that sounds like a lot of a better deal than to do lying.
I signed up for a matchmaking service to video chat strangers. A solution to a global pandemic reminiscent of ‘00s internet chatting. Some people overestimate what power being in person has while missing the grounds and foundations for lasting meaningful relationships that can happen from anywhere in the world.
Stop policing women for crimes that they didn’t commit while holding men off from the consequences of the ones that they did
Sitting or travelling alone can feel really uncomfortable because you might think others are concerned with what you’re doing, or not doing, way more than they actually do. They don’t care! And if they do, who are you to be in their personal business: their thoughts. Let go, have fun, and do what you want that makes you happy because life is way too short to be constricted to living a life that’s palatable to strangers.
Taking the time to realize that content creation speaks to me as a lifetime mission
Money, beyond 70k apparently, doesn’t buy happiness. So, why then we often sacrifice our happiness to pursue it?
I’m making progress in learning to ask for help from the right places. It’s a practice of both humility and courage.
Time management is an artful science. Using an urgent/important Eisenhower matrix can help you differentiate between what to do, decide, delegate, and delete. But how do you determine what’s important in the first place?
