8601. (I just
realized) Justin Bieber’s uncle-in-law is Jack Donaghy (i.e., Alec Baldwin in
“30 Rock”) and his aunt-in-law is a (former) Bond girl (i.e., Kim Basinger as
“Domino Petachi” in “Never Say Never Again”) . . . weird;
8602. Faith is
really good for stopping worry and anxiety;
8603. Beliefs
are subconscious and therefore below the level of conscious awareness. So how will we know if there’s a problem in
that area? It usually shows up in the
form of repeated frustrations. A feeling
like you’re trying and trying, but not making much progress. When that happens, and it’s a pattern, then
you know that you have some subconscious belief change work to do;
8604. Ella
Fitzgerald (the American jazz singer) was born in Newport News, Virginia;
8605. Time is
more than money; it’s the currency of life and it’s an irreplaceable
resource. When time is up, it’s gone;
8606. We can
increase many capacities, but there’s nothing we can do to expand, save or
manage time. Time is a fixed resource;
the number of minutes in a day, days in a week and weeks in a year all tick
away relentlessly in spite of our efforts to control it;
8607. If we
want to get more done, make a greater impact and truly lead a life of
significance, we need to increase our energy capacity;
8608. People
who grow to their maximum potential don’t sit back and wait for things to
happen; they go out and make things happen and that requires energy;
8609. When you
spend your time doing the things that you care about most, you will find
yourself fully charged with energy. What
are the activities that make you say, “I was born to do this?” That’s your gift zone. Spend more time there;
8610. A life of
significance is not about having more money and more stuff. It’s about spending time and creating
experiences and memories with the people you care about most;
8611. When we
serve others by providing something that makes their day a little better, we
enter what Ed Bastian calls the “virtuous circle.” We not only draw energy from having done
something good for someone else, we also get an energy boost from their
response;
8612.
R(eckless)I(nvesting)S(ans)K(nowledge);
8613. Between
(the ages of) 25-40, the number one cause of death for men in the Western world
is suicide. . . . After 40, it’s (coronary) heart disease;
8614. If you
constantly break your word to yourself, how can you trust yourself?
8615. Every
time you say you’ll do something, but you don’t you lose trust with yourself;
8616. The
“hero” goes into the darkness to find the light;
8617. The
biggest obstacles to your success is your own self-doubt and laziness;
8618. It is
your self-doubt and laziness that define and limit who you are;
8619. There is
no one in your way except you and your doubts;
8620.
Irrational tendencies typically lead to the types of mental constructs
that often promote addiction, avoidance, compulsiveness, procrastination,
anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, hurt, anger, self-pity or self-blame;
8621. The idea
that success is the only option as anything else will lead to a loss of social
standing, love and affection from your support group and the other good things
in your life;
8622. If
failure is seen as the worst possible outcome then, when you find yourself
dealing with adversity, you will often find yourself more depressed and prone
to greater frequency of anxiety or panic attacks than you may otherwise
experience. This often leads to an
overall feeling of worthlessness that makes it difficult or even impossible to
complete otherwise minor tasks;
8623. Ben
Franklin started the first mutual (fire) insurance company in the English
colonies/future U.S.;
8624. Top
performers understand that getting distracted is human nature. They accept it’s going to happen and they
don’t beat themselves up when it does;
8625. Indulge
distraction then refocus twice as hard;
8626.
Productivity is not simply being busy.
Anyone can (be) and stay busy.
Being productive means moving the ball toward the goal line efficiently
and effectively. Being busy, on the
other hand, can mean running around in circles and making no meaningful
progress toward your goal;
8627.
Prioritize your work. Time is a
limited commodity and every choice has an opportunity cost. Productivity hinges on setting priorities;
8628. Don’t
bite off more than you can chew. Set
proper expectations for yourself. Don’t
load up your schedule with a bunch of tasks especially if they’re not
important. Focus on one big ticket item
each day;
8629. Batch
your tasks which simply means putting the same tasks together to reduce the
transition time of your brain from switching between tasks. For example, do send and answer all emails
during a single block of time. Make all
your phone calls during another block of time;
8630.
Increasing productivity not only means more effectively getting things
done, it means having more time for the things that matter most to you and
having less stress and more happiness too;
8631.
Everything worthwhile is uphill. . . . Sadly, many people have uphill
hopes and downhill habits;
8632. Nothing
that is good in life comes easy. . . . And very little that comes easy is good;
8633. The
(touring) pianist for “The Lumineers” (i.e., Stelth Ulvang) plays barefoot;
8634. How do
you know it’s not your day to hike? The
answer is: When the 4-wheel drive vehicle ahead of you slides on around on the
road on the way to the trail;
8635. Handjob
in a cabin hot tub . . . check . . . fingering in a cabin hot tub . . .
(double) check . . . sex in a cabin hot tub . . . (triple) check;
8636. More is
lost by indecision than wrong decision.
Indecision is the thief of opportunity.
It will steal you blind;
8637.
Apparently, seniors (seem to) like Cracker Barrel (Old Country Store);
8638. Fried
apples is just apple pie without the crust;
8639. Your
words have the power to both create and destroy. The words we choose build our own reality and
the reality of those around us. Be
thoughtful about what you say. You have
great power in your speech that can unleash a forceful fury that can create,
tear down, build, heal or hurt;
8640. Every
time you open your mouth is an opportunity to stay true to yourself and what
you value or an opportunity to stray from that path;
8641. If you’re
looking to feed a family of 4 for $5.00 or less a meal, (you might want to) try
the recipes at “$5 Dinners” (5DollarDinners.com/recipes)
8642. Chocolate
chess pie tastes like a (fluffier, less dense) brownie;
8643. Metered
parking goes until 10:00 PM (Monday through Saturday) in D.C.;
8644. Joey
Genetti is (pretty) tall;
8645. According
to Lily Kershaw, the dressing rooms at the Pie Shop (PieShopDC.com) in D.C. are
glamorous (not really);
8646. Lily
Kershaw is Sansa Stark’s (i.e., Sophie Turner) go-to sad music;
8647. If you’re
interested, you will do what is convenient; if you’re committed, you’ll do
whatever it takes;
8648. Anger can
help you to either hide the pain that you are dealing with or it can be used to
channel that feeling over to someone else.
It is pretty common that angry people will just lash out because it
helps them to let off some steam;
8649. When
people experience something and they think that it is unpleasant, it will often
invoke an angry response;
8650. There are
some people who may have gone through a bad experience in the past. There are some people who are still going
through those bad experiences today. As
a means of helping them to deal with these unpleasant times, they always resort
to directing their anger towards another person;
