Wisdom Worth Sharing: My definition of success is waking up energized and going to bed exhausted. Waking up energized means I'm doing meaningful things with people I love. Going to bed exhausted means I gave my all for those things. That's a good life. (share to x/twitter!) Monday: What Could You Do If You Forgot Your Limits? I have a weird confession: I enjoy listening to audiobooks about running, while running. Last week, embracing my odd habit, I picked up a new audiobook called The Running Ground and headed out for a run on the cold roads of the Boston suburbs. Somewhere around mile three, a story in the book stopped me in my tracks (literally). I paused my watch, re-listened to it a few times, and wrote down the exact words to come back to. I shared the story, and why it may change your life, here... (read the full piece here) Wednesday: The Things You Prayed For Ever since I was a kid, Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. To me, it was always a celebration of here and now. My mom embraced the day as a chance to bring people together. Having been introduced to Thanksgiving by a loving host family who took her in when she came to America for college in 1978, it strikes me that she feels a sense of duty to pay that love forward. Every year, she hosts a big gathering of family, friends, and a smattering of my dad's students and mentees who don't have local family to visit for the occasion. And every year, after the big meal is finished, we choose a prompt and go around the table reflecting and responding to it. This year, I'm in charge of that prompt.

A professor fills a glass jar—first with rocks, then pebbles, then sand—to illustrate a powerful truth: The jar represents your life. The rocks are your most important things—your family, your health, your purpose, your core values. The pebbles are meaningful but secondary. The sand is everything else—the noise, the busywork, the distractions. The lesson is clear: If you pour the sand in first, you'll never have room for the rocks. I unpacked the metaphor and how to apply it in the full piece... (read the full piece here) | My only consistent daily habit 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. |
