The Law of Averages
You will always revert to your mean Daily Meditation — 4/10/2022 L.A. Davidson When we are down and out, feeling the intense gravity of failure like a sticky quicksand around us, depression ruling over us, it feels like each day trickles by. It feels like you are being bludgeoned to death by misfortune and mistakes… When we are flying high and winning, the opposite feeling takes hold. You feel unstoppable! You’re winning hand after hand at life who keeps dealing you exactly what you need! It ...

Excuses
Daily Meditation — 4/8/2022 Lucas A. Davidson - @louied777 You will either have results or a story about why you couldn’t… This is a gentle way of saying you’ll either accomplish what you’ve set out to do or you will make excuses with incredible, colorful stories (lies) as to why you didn’t. You wanted to lose weight. You got a gym membership. Started following a good diet. Slept well. Counted calories to keep a small deficit… It was hard… And then your dog died. Now you’re eating poorly. Not...

Yes, It Snowed Again…
Daily Meditation — 4/4/2022 Personal Meditations, ed. I I live in a place called the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We are the Canada of the USA. As such, we get snow. A lot. Even as a kid, I remember one year where I think we still got snow into the first week of June. It’s sort of ironically humorous to me… Almost everyone here is in a constant state of complaining about winter and snow. To me, this makes as much sense as a swamp hag crying about living in a swamp. What if Yoda’s teaching of ...

You're a Victim Harry!
Daily Meditation - 4/3/2022Yes. You’re a victim. You were raped. Or molested. Or abandoned by your parents. Or you had substance abusing parents. Or you were cheated on. Or you’re fat. Maybe you’re gay. Or trans. You are bullied. Addicted to drugs or alcohol — or even lab-created foods. Maybe robbed at gunpoint. Your child was kidnapped. Society has built around us a framework for a culture of victimhood… It has twisted us into identifying with our traumas. To do what we can to use it to capi...
