dogs in moderation if they are fresh and free of bark and husk, but they can
also be toxic and pose a choking hazard;
11505. A dog eating too many
walnuts can cause an upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea or pancreatitis, which
can be life-threatening;
11506. Black walnuts are toxic
to dogs and can cause life-threatening symptoms;
11507. English walnuts can be
dangerous to dogs if they cause choking or an intestinal blockage;
11508. Walnuts are high in
moisture and can develop mold and fungi, which can produce toxins that can be
carcinogenic or cause tremors and seizures in dogs;
11509. Grilled, shucked corn (on
the cob) is (pretty) tasty;
11510. Scrapple is like a cross

11511. You can bring food into
Merriweather Post Pavilion. It has to be

Oughta Know;”
11521. In 2005, researchers at
Kingston University released the findings of a two-year study that suggested
dust mites – up to 1.5 million of which may be living in a bed at a given time
– don’t survive as well in the warm, dry conditions created by an unmade bed. So wait about an hour after you wake up to
make the bed, no matter what your self-help books say about how making it first
thing will spur you to be more regimented and productive;
11522. The riper the watermelon,
the easier it is to cut/slice;
11523. Becoming Authentic: Authenticity
isn’t about “faking it until you make it.” It’s about acting real until you remember who
you truly are. Reflect on your past and
identify moments that shaped you. Embrace these moments and release any
lingering negative emotions;
11524. Embodying Confidence: Practice
embodying confidence daily. Imagine you’re
invincible and notice how your actions and interactions change;
11525. Shadow Work: Ask yourself
shadow questions to uncover hidden beliefs. For example, “Why am I not good enough?” This helps bring suppressed thoughts to the
surface;
11526. Celebrate Small Wins: Celebrate
every achievement no matter how small. This
helps build a positive mindset and reinforces progress;
11527. Deep Inner Work: True
transformation requires deep inner work. It’s about becoming aware of the things you
don’t know you don’t know and letting go of what holds you back;
11528. What is the number one
way people go about trying to be confident?
Challenges? Affirmations? Experience? Drugs? Drinking?
Money? Competence?
Ultimately, it comes down to this: activating your winner effect. This is the foundation of situational
confidence;
11529. When you feel like you
are winning, you’ll have access to more inner faculties. Imagine you are hanging out with people where
you’re put in a position of authority, like being the boss at your job. You’ll feel confident in relation to your
employees because you feel like you are winning;
11530. Once you understand this
concept of the winner effect, you will be baffled at how people try to chase
this feeling constantly. The most common
way is by trying to put others down. If
they are beneath you, in contrast, you feel like a winner. You might have acquaintances who always try
to subtly diss you or make little jokes to feel like a winner. People also chase this feeling through money
and validation, constantly trying to boost that winner effect. But is this permanent? No. It
makes you a slave to whatever is activating your winner effect. For example, if you feel like a winner at
your job, you only feel confident there.
Once you leave that environment, your confidence fades;
11531. The way to permanently
activate your winner effect isn’t by feeling like a winner in contrast to
others, nor by trying to inflate yourself with money or validation. It’s by letting go and giving yourself that
inner approval. Letting go is what
permanently activates your winner effect;
11532. Realize that whatever you’re
chasing out there, you’re actually craving it in here. If you’re needy for love, you’re craving love
within. If you’re needy for validation
and approval, you’re craving it within. Your
strategy for trying to get it might be to have hundreds of people love you,
thinking it will make you love yourself, but it’s really from within;
11533. Another model to look at
is the “Having, Doing, Being.” Most
people are in the having paradigm, finding themselves in what they have. If they have more money, looks, clothes or
approval, they feel enhanced. Then there’s
doing, where self-worth is found in action.
If you work like crazy one day, you feel enhanced. If you work less, you don’t. The progression towards true core confidence
is being. It’s not found in what you
have or do, but in who you are. This is
what we call situational confidence versus permanent confidence. You should feel just as confident alone in your
bed as up on stage. Your self-worth
should be inherent;
11534. If you try to find
confidence in a perfect line or your looks, you’re giving your power away;
11535. True core confidence
comes from letting go of trying to find yourself externally and just being
confident because you are. This is the
true path to confidence;
11536. Confidence isn’t about
adding or compensating; it’s about removing and letting go. It’s not about acting in a completely
uncalibrated way, but being aware without being a slave to it. This creates a magnetic vibe that overpowers
content;
11537. People can fake body
language, but not the vibe. True
confidence can’t be faked. It’s about having
the freedom to break superficial rules of confidence. If you’re truly confident, you can break
those rules and still exude confidence;
11538. Intention-wise, aim to
deliver value, but don’t let it be your source of confidence;
11539. Permanent winner effect,
removing, letting go and finding yourself in being rather than having or doing
is the key. Vibe over content, honest
signals;
11540. Letting go is confidence. Otherwise, you’re just compensating and
crafting a front;
11541. Laziness kills ambition.
. . . Anger kills wisdom. . . . Fear kills dreams. . . . Ego kills growth. . .
. Jealousy kills peace. . . . Doubt kills confidence. . . . Now read that right
to left;
11542. The illusion of approval:
When you base your self-worth on others’ approval, you become a slave to their
opinions. It’s like giving them the keys
to your self-worth. But who truly holds
the keys? It’s you. Only you can decide if you are good
enough. External approval or disapproval
shouldn’t affect your intrinsic value;
11543. Embracing your true self:
We all have moments from our past that shape our beliefs. Identifying these moments is the first step
toward letting go of false narratives.
Acknowledging your past and confronting the emotions tied to it. This process of letting go is crucial for
reclaiming your self-worth;
11544. The power of
self-reflection: Stand in front of a mirror and affirm your worth. Feel the resistance, breathe into it and let
go;
11545. True confidence comes
from within. It’s about embracing who
you are, flaws and all, and knowing that you are enough just as you are;
11546. Reflect on your own
life. When did you start feeling not
good enough? What moments shaped this
belief? Acknowledge them, feel the
emotions and begin the process of letting go.
Remember, no amount of external change will fix internal
insecurities. You have to change from
the inside out;
11547. You have the power to
reclaim your self-worth. It’s not about
gaining approval from others, but about approving of yourself. You are enough. Embrace your journey, honor your true self
and know that you’ve always been worthy;
