Women should never live in survival mode. We’re born to live a life that is gentle to our nervous system, to do the things we love for a living, to take good care of ourselves and to be taken care of, to be surrounded by people who feel like sunshine, to be protected by God

Nobody tells you this: The quality of your decisions is directly
proportional to the quality of your emotional state when making them.
Calm produces clear. Anxious produces reactive. Angry produces destructive. Before making any decision, check your emotional weather. If it's stormy, wait for clear skies.

If you notice the person standing alone in the corner and bring them into the conversation, you have a gift no amount of money can buy.

Your brain can learn to feel good again. In fact, it's wired to recover. The same circuits hijacked by addiction can be rerouted through purpose, movement, connection, and effort. You're not doomed. You're dormant. The fire's still there, light it again.

约翰·麦卡菲被问了无数次“成功的秘诀”，终于懒得再装了。
他直接说：你不会喜欢这个答案。
许多人终其一生都在拼命努力、频繁试错、疯狂内卷，结果依然在原地打转。
不是能力不够，也不是机运未到。
因为你本质上是一个被死死拴在海底的气球。
气球生来就该向上浮。
真正把你按在深水区窒息的，不是天赋的贫瘠，而是你身上的负重：
恐惧、怨恨、失望，以及对受害者身份的执念。
这些烂绳子不斩断，你再怎么折腾，也绝不可能浮出水面。
斩断它们，你浮到顶端只是一种物理必然。
麦卡菲给出的解法极其冷酷，只有一句话：
立刻切断，绝不恋战。
伴侣惹毛你、合伙人背刺你，如果你在 10 秒钟内还无法翻篇，这局你就已经彻底输了。
因为那已经是过去。
10 秒前是过去，10 小时前是过去，10 年前同样是过去。
在这个物理世界里，过去根本不存在。
你每多愤怒一秒，都是在用现在的生命，为死掉的幽灵支付巨额租金。
停止反刍，停止怨恨，剪掉所有往下拉扯你的下坠力量。
困住你的从来不是残酷的外部世界，而是你自己死死攥着、舍不得松手的那根烂绳子。

Looks like my soon to be 97 year old neighbor has gone to the home.
She was one of the best; never worked a day in her life, (it wasn’t even a concept) kept a perfect house , always turned out to perfection, never drove , her husband did all that . She smoked like a dragon , had cocktails ready at 5 , made the best reservations and raised 3 kids.
Although that one son used to shoot at my liberal friend in Waxhaw when she rode her horse, he owned the chicken ranch next door .Liberal friend moved to Myrtle Beach & the chicken rancher sold out to developers.
Of course her daughter was happily married for years until her husband decided he was in love with a man . ( he’ll never be free from that alimony) .
Wild paths we are set upon in this world.
Oh well something I shall ponder .
My own Steel Magnolias I guess.
Life does indeed move on.

“I lived badly, I lived in mortal sin, I drank a lot, I smoked a lot... i drank so much i couldnt control myself...I felt a void so big that I realized my life would have no meaning if I hadn't donated to myself Jesus Christ. I was deceived by the false light of wealth and joy, and that light made me feel more empty. It's not how you start that makes you a Saint, but how you finish. "It's not who you were, it's who you decide to become." ”
