Wisdom Worth Sharing: The older I get, the more I long for a simple life. Wake up early. Do hard things. Eat real foods. Obsess over something. Spend time with real ones. Read books. Avoid drama. Never gossip. Be grateful. That's my definition of a good life. (share to x/twitter!)
Monday: The Antelope Principle: How to Chase the Right Things A lion can easily catch a field mouse—but the energy it burns in the process exceeds the calories it gains. A lion that spends its days chasing mice will eventually starve. To thrive, it must hunt antelope. Every single day, you face the same choice: - Chase field mice: the small, urgent problems and opportunities that pull at your attention; or
- Hunt antelope: the big, important pursuits that require focus and effort but actually move the needle.
Busyness can trick you into feeling productive, but motion isn't momentum. A rocking horse moves all day and never goes anywhere. The lion that chases mice will starve. The lion that hunts antelope will thrive. What are you hunting today? (read the full piece here)
Wednesday: A Reflection On The Little Things "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." - Kurt Vonnegut Earlier this spring, I watched my son chase my parents around the backyard, laughter echoing through the air, and it hit me: This was it. It wasn't big or glamorous. It was a little thing that meant everything. That simple experience prompted a profound change in our lives: We're moving home, in every sense of the word. I shared the full story—and the lessons behind it—in this week's piece. (read the full piece here)
Friday: The Donkey Principle: How to Avoid Foolish Arguments There's a story I love about a Donkey and a Tiger arguing over the color of the grass. The Donkey insisted it was blue, while the Tiger argued it was green. When they brought the matter to the Lion, the King ruled in the Donkey's favor—and punished the Tiger with a year of silence. Confused, the Tiger asked why he was being punished when the Lion knew the grass was green. The Lion replied, "Because someone as wise as you should never waste time proving anything to a fool." I call it The Donkey Principle. And its lesson is an important one. Stop trying to reason with people who have no interest in understanding. Stop chasing rational outcomes with irrational opponents. Peace has a price, and you buy it by saying no—to drama, to noise, to pointless arguments. Remember: If you argue with a fool, you become one. (read the full piece here)
| My staple nutritional insurance policy since 2011: AG1! I started taking AG1 way before it was trendy or anyone knew about it––in 2011 when I needed to up my health game while playing college baseball. I was one of their first customers and fell in love with it. I took it consistently for over 10 years before asking the CEO for a link to share with family and friends. The newly upgraded AG1 Next Gen is backed by four clinical trials and features five clinically studied probiotics, functional mushrooms, and whole food-sourced nutrients to support gut health, immune function, and sustained energy. And now it comes in 3 new flavors: Tropical, Citrus, and Berry. All from plant-based sources, with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. AG1 is offering my amazing Curiosity Chronicle subscribers a FREE Welcome Kit including Vitamin D3+K2 and AG1 Travel packs when you first subscribe. |
