Wisdom Worth Sharing: A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Clarity isn't found in thinking. It's found in doing. This is why there are so many smart people that never accomplish anything.

Monday: The Archimedes Principle: The Science of Sudden Insight On Monday, I shared a story about the ancient inventor Archimedes and the science of sudden insight. After wrestling with a difficult problem through intense effort, the answer he was seeking surfaced during an inactive moment in the bath. That pattern is no accident: Disciplined, structured work followed by unstructured, undirected thought is where breakthroughs are born. The brain is not silent at rest.

The people you surround yourself with determine your outcomes. Remember: Your circle creates your reality. Choose wisely. (read the full piece here)
| My one daily health 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. AG1 is offering my amazing Curiosity Chronicle subscribers a FREE Welcome Kit including Vitamin D3+K2 and AG1 Travel packs when you first subscribe. |
