Officially 1 year of 100+ pushups per day 🤠 I started on October 15 2023, my initial goal was to do it for 7 days as a small challenge to myself. To my surprise, it wasn't that difficult to pull off, so I just kept going :)
In the meantime, I've travelled from Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) to Perth (Western Australia) to Byron Bay (New South Wales, Australian east coast) to Thailand, back to Byron, then Bali, Estonia and more recently to New Zealand. Didn't miss a day (sure, a couple of times I did the pushups well after midnight, but it still counts in my book). Where there's a will, there's a way 🤠

Yes! Auckland for now but looking to get out into the nature (or at the very least, a smaller town) soon :) yeah I saw something about the Bitcoin week via your feed, will do my best to be there, looks like a great plan and something a bit more substantial than just plain meetups/conferences. Feel free to hit me up if you need any help organising the event ✌️
If you define hope as "expectations" then I agree.
If you define hope as "belief in the goodness of all human beings and thus a potential better tomorrow" (which is how I would define hope), then I don't agree with Seneca on this one.

"Tähevärav" ("Stargate") is a lyrical stream of consciousness; it's wordplay and rhyme scheming, but its central narrative is the importance of confidence, staying unapologetically true to yourself & facing the hardships of life with courage. These are all themes and issues that I've been struggling and dealing with for most of my life and, the track serves, first and foremost, the purpose of being a reminder to myself to not give in to the pressure, to not give up, to continue betting on myself and what I believe to be true. Life is too short to let yourself be ruled by anyone else but your higher self.
You are the Stargate. You are the connection to the vastness of the Universe. It is all within.

Some years ago I made this (very basic) edit of Carrie Cleveland's beautiful track "Love Will Set You Free" 🤠
"If you're down and you don't want to be, yeah
Fall in love - love will set you free
Every day take some time
Make some love - love will free your mind"

What supports you when nothing does? Who do you turn to when the world turns away from you? How do you convince yourself that your work is important and valuable when no one around you seems to see it as such? For how long are you willing to keep faking it until you need external validation that you're making it? How do you overcome impostor syndrome?

“Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense— he is "collective man"— one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind.”
― Carl G. Jung
The only time when you can become the person you want to be is right now. Because the only time that really exists is the present.
The past is an abstraction, the future is a projection.
“The way an order expresses itself through any system has to have flaws and mistakes. I’m talking about developing an idea of wholeness or completeness that includes imperfection.”

I listened to all 3 episodes of them together... hadn't heard of her before, just picked an episode randomly - which was the latest in the series (the one I linked) and then went ahead and listened to the other ones as well. I found this latest episode to be the most captivating and interesting of the three - I ended up listening to it multiple times actually. Although I will say if you enjoy this one I do definitely recommend to go back and listen to the other 2 episodes with Vivian as well.
Philosophy is - phílos sophía - the love of knowledge, yes. The pursuit of truth, for sure. That all resonates with me, it has my name written all over it. But what really caught my attention was how - in my eyes - it also equates to a “way of life.” Your philosophy is how you relate to the world, what is valuable for you, what is ethical for you, what “good” means in your perception. So everybody has “a philosophy,” even if they don’t acknowledge it or perhaps don’t have a particularly intimate relationship with the aforementioned Sophia.
I think it all relates a lot to having a purpose. And similarly to when you don’t have a purpose of your own you will inevitably end up working towards someone else’s; if you don’t have or are unable to articulate a philosophy of your own you will invariably inherit or be subject to adopting somebody else’s.

My vague comment about this particular episode doesn't really do justice to how great it is. Really, put on your headphones, close your eyes and listen to this. The whole episode is a trip in and of itself, including the bit with the dog.
And if you're really attentive, perhaps you'll also get the flying snake reference :)

“Diagnostic questions you can ask to measure how much meaning in life you have:
1. What do you want to exist even if you don't?
2. How real is it? Is it really real?
3. How much of a difference do you make to it now?”

We #nostr because even if Elon Musk is the godfather and savior of free speech and succeeds exceedingly in all of his efforts in protecting it, then while he may become the metaphorical Marcus Aurelius, whoever comes after him could very well be Commodus.
#plebchain #grownostr
1. Cut off sugar
2. Fasting
3. When you do eat: energy dense (high in quality fats and protein, low to no carbs) food, large portions, no more than 2 meals per day
That's sort of what seems to be working for me at least :)

9 MONTHS OF 100+ PUSHUPS PER DAY ✅

If you're considering doing the same, I say go for it.
It's not as difficult as it sounds.
PS. Ladies, I'm pretty sure 100 squats a day ain't that hard either 😉
