11751. Every new skill, every business breakthrough,
every personal transformation, all reside in that gap between who you were and
who you could become not in the space of exhaustion and overwhelm;
11752. Reframe your relationship
with discomfort as you progress through the year. See it not as an obstacle, but as a signpost
pointing toward your next level of growth. Your future more resilient, more successful,
more fulfilled, self is waiting on the other side of that discomfort;
11753. Embrace the challenge. Trust in your ability to grow. And, remember, discomfort isn’t just part of
the journey, it’s often the purest sign you’re on the right path;
11754. The most successful
people don’t just tolerate discomfort.
They actively seek it out.
They’ve learned to turn discomfort into their superpower;
11755. 3 strategies to transform
discomfort into a continued springboard for success: 1. Reframe Your Perspective: Instead of seeing
discomfort as something to avoid, start viewing it as a signal that you’re on
the right track. When you feel that
familiar twinge of unease or anxiety, smile.
It means you’re pushing your boundaries and growing; 2. Practice Intentional Discomfort: Don’t wait
for discomfort to find you. Seek it out
in small, manageable doses. Take on a
challenging project. Have that difficult
conversation. Learn a new skill. By regularly stepping out of your comfort
zone, you’re building your resilience muscle; and 3. Reflect and Celebrate: After each bout of
discomfort, take a moment to reflect.
What did you learn? How did you
grow? Celebrate these small
victories. They’re the building blocks
of your future success;
11756. Your adult self
understands the value of this process.
But your child or teen might still resist. That’s okay.
Acknowledge those parts of yourself then gently remind them of the
growth that awaits on the other side of discomfort;
11757. I can say I’ve seen Scott
Bakula (i.e., Sam Beckett from “Quantum Leap”, Jonathan Archer from “Star Trek:
Enterprise” and Dwayne Pride from “NCIS: New Orleans”) perform live( as Abraham
Lincoln);
11758. Abraham Lincoln served in
the state militia during the Black Haw War, but saw no combat;
11759. Abraham Lincoln served as
the postmaster for New Salem;
11760. Abraham Lincoln was not a member of any organized religion, but he did (read and) believe in the Bible;
11761. I am very much a visual learner. I need to see examples. I don’t understand as well from hearing
things and being lectured to;
11762. Alexa Landestoy, Al Koken
and Rachel Nichols look different in person than they do on television;
11763. Nicklas Backstrom said,
when he first came to the (Washington) Capitals, he, Mike Green, Alexander
Ovechkin and Alexander Semin used to hang out a lot outside of the (ice hockey)
rink;
11764. Alexander Ovechkin says
he doesn’t remember anything that happened when the (Washington) Capitals won
the Stanley Cup;
11765. Besides family events,
Alexander Ovechkin said winning the Stanley Cup was the best feeling ever;
11766. Apparently, Alexander
Ovechkin isn’t superstitious about touching the Stanley Cup;
11767. According to Stephan
Jenkins(, the lead singer for “Third Eye Blind”), Alex LeCavalier (the bassist
for “Third Eye Blind”) is a huge hockey fan;
11768. According to Steve(n)
Oleksy(, the former Washington Capitals forward), he’d rather play at Capital
One Arena than Little Caesars Arena and he’s from Detroit(, Michigan);
11769. I can say I’ve seen been
at a bar (specifically District E) with Troy Brouwer, Eric Fehr, Rod Langway,
Steve(n) Oleksy, Jeff Schultz, David Steckel and 20-some (Washington) Capitals
alumni;
11770. Chicken and waffles is messy arena food. I’m talking about you, maple syrup;
11771. It stands to reason, then, that to be witty,
we need to be unconventional and unexpected in how we use language;
11772. The comic triple
surprises people because where they might expect a list to contain only 1
sentiment, the comic triple contains 2 and the 2 sentiments couldn’t be more
different;
11773. (Rebecca is right,) the
smoked, creamy, chicken salad sandwich at Sweet Fire Donna’s in (Old Town)
Alexandria is better with bacon;
11774. Journaling provides the
opportunity to learn new lessons from old experiences. Reading your old journal entries is a bit
like reading a great book for a second time.
You pick up on new sentences and see the past in a different way. Only this time, you are re-reading the story
of your life;
11775. Journaling sharpens your
memory. Time will change your face without
you noticing, but it will also change your thoughts without you realizing
it. Our beliefs shift slowly as we gain
experience and journal entries have the ability to freeze your thoughts in
time. Seeing an old picture of yourself
can be interesting because it reminds you of what you looked like, but reading
an old journal entry can be even more surprising because it reminds you of how
you thought;
11776. Journaling motivates you
to make the most of each day. There is
something about knowing that your day will be recorded that makes you want to
make at least one good choice before the sun sets;
11777. Journaling provides proof
of your progress. Writing down one
sentence about what went well today gives you something powerful to look at
when you’re feeling down. When you have
a bad day, it can be easy to forget how much progress you have made. But with a journal, it’s easier to keep a
sense of perspective. One glance at your
previous entries and you have proof of how much you have grown over the months
and years;
11778. Being authentic doesn’t
always guarantee connection. In fact, if
you’re not careful, your authenticity might not resonate with others and, then
you’re left feeling misunderstood;
11779. It’s not just about being
yourself; it’s about making sure that your authenticity is relatable. That’s where the magic happens. When you can express yourself in a way that’s
true to who you are, but also resonates with the person/people you’re talking
to, you create a powerful, genuine connection. But there’s a balance to it. You can’t compromise who you are to please
others; that’s just people-pleasing. At
the same time, you can’t be completely oblivious to the vibe or context of the
situation;
11780. Not everyone will vibe
with your energy and that’s okay! It’s
not a reflection of your worth, it just means that connection wasn’t meant to
be. The real win is staying true to
yourself without bending over backwards to fit in;
11781. Remember: Authenticity + Relatability = Connection;
