Wisdom Worth Sharing: I'm increasingly convinced that the key to life is being unapologetically yourself. When you edit your personality, you attract relationships that need constant maintenance. Stop filtering yourself to be liked. Right ones will stick. Wrong ones will walk. That's a blessing. (share to x/twitter!)
Monday: Amara's Law: The Invisible Force That Shapes Your Life In 1978, futurist Roy Amara offered a simple reflection that later became known as Amara's Law: We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run. The insight is about more than technology—it's about how humans misjudge progress. We anchor on what's visible. We think linearly. We expect immediate results. But most of life works exponentially. Today's actions quietly stack beneath the surface for days, months, years—then suddenly, they appear. To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, growth happens gradually, then suddenly.

Friday: How to Thrive (A Science-Backed Approach) This week, I shared one of my favorite fables about a man, his son, and a donkey, and the painful lesson of trying to please everyone. Please all, and you will please none. I explored how this idea is grounded in real science through Self-Determination Theory, which shows that human thriving depends on autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In the story, each one erodes as the man and boy respond to the noise from the crowd. This offers a useful question for your own experience and life: Where are you surrendering your self direction to the noise from the crowd? Remember: You are not responsible for the narratives that other people have about you, your growth, or your journey. You are the author of your own story. You are at the wheel. Never let go.
