"Sometimes you need to be irresponsible with your current challenges in order to make real progress on your future self. You have to let the present just sit there, untended. It’s not going away and will never end. That’s the nature of the present."

What an interesting thought - to practice being the future self we want to be, we may need to be less "on it" with our current wants, needs, and demands. What should you be practicing in your life to create who you want to be?

Being busy is not the same as being productive. It’s the difference between running on a treadmill and running to a destination. They’re both running, but being busy is running in place.

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

“To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.”

What an important point.

"...it's the human experience we're fighting for...so that life is not defined primarily, for so many people, by suffering in the violence and hardship, but actually that thing that all of us possess - which is this incredible capacity for joy and beauty."

This is what defines life - joy and beauty. What an incredibly life opening and enriching focus.

The writer and scholar on slow work and resistant joy.

Wow! Fascinating research and ideas into why we are fatter that has nothing to do with self-discipline. Worth a read.

As the American people got fatter, so did marmosets, vervet monkeys and mice. The problem may be bigger than any of us.

Apparently, I’ve been radicalized and I wasn’t aware. Certain people call me the “radical Left” all the time. I never considered myself radical before. I just thought I was normal, ordinary, usual. I thought equity was important to everyone. I imagined America was filled with people who took...
