This advice does not work for gamblers!

I froze to death on a mountain doing this.
Moral: you should probably pay attention to your surroundings.

Bear in mind statistically speaking, most of them will be India and China, so plan on migrating.

This reminds me of one of the coolest quotes that motivated me heavily when starting to study some big exam, from the manchurian candidate: "Wars are fought one Battle at a time. Battles, you win one bullet at a time". And it is true. One bullet at a time.

If you have this little executive function, you probably have a mental health disorder.

No that is a lie people spread on the internet for some reason.

This is the hardest part for me. I’m really good when given direction but had trouble realizing that for the things I care about I have to make my own battle plan and take it seriously.
Start writing down some steps on what you need to achieve your goal. Then start slowly to accomplish these things and your momentum will grow.
Stay organized and be kind to yourself! I have a tendency to think more than put those thoughts into action so I started with changing that.

Definitely. I really started to apply this to my life in 2019, and looking back I can't believe how much success I've achieved over these past couple years. Just focus on what you can and slowly continue to make baby steps.

Seems like modern games need to relearn this.

But if he truly loves me, I'm sure he'll understand why I couldn't do it.

The evening we went and saw Frozen II we had found out earlier that our first pregnancy was going to be a miscarriage. All of our steps we thought we were about to take crumbled in front of us. We didn't even know what the next step was. Most of the movie was a good distraction and gave us a break from our grief of the news... Then Anna sings that song and we both were ugly crying in the theater.
While it hurt and the scars from the pain will always be there, that moment with that song gave us permission somehow to be ok with not knowing and refocusing on what the tiny, small, next right thing is. The first one was to finish the movie. The next was to go get dinner. The next was to drive home. We had to break it down to survive those next few days and eventually the next right step became clearer and easier to anticipate.
If you're out there and you're reading this and it is resonating with you, you are not alone in your pain. I know my version of it and it still hits me at times. But I know I was able to walk (maybe crawl is a better verb) through it and grew.
Grief is such an amazing tool that I both love and hate because I don't get to determine how much of it I feel or how long it will last or how often it resurfaces. All I know is that when it does come I let it run its course; it's better than trying to avoid it or stifle it.

it’s irritating. i commented on a post the other day saying basically “rest, recoup, reset” and said how it was funny the post that sanctioning doing nothing was the only one met with approval here. How demotivating.

What do you do when someone kicks you out of their life for 8 years, then come back and want to be friends again?
