I wish I knew these things on how to deal with breakups !!
After my breakup(s), I was just done. Admitted to hospital, couldn’t eat, couldn’t focus on work, life, anything. In short, it was just disastrous and pathetic. It was a difficult time but as people say “Time heals everything’, I healed too. But, often I think about…

As a millennial stuck in the transition phase between Gen X and Gen Z, I often find myself inadequate — unable to catch up with Gen X’s age and experience (as most companies would look at) and fear of Gen Z’s speed of catching up with me!
Many people are scared of it. Others drag you down because of it.
“I believe that every man, no matter how humble, is manifesting God, as His messenger, therefore every man should be worthy of his messengership by manifesting his Source to the very best of his ability, whether he runs the elevator for an industry or as its president.”
Most of the time shortcuts turn out to be detours.
Detours that need all of your attention, time, energy and resources to get back to where you initially wanted to go.

I had a small talk with my flat mate.
In his generation children used to ask their parents for something from the trees or something they could do together.
Things ( material things ) they could only imagine having as a child is already owned by the children by our generation.
A bit weird of a title, but these are very related…in the sense that they aren’t. As athletic trainers, we don’t often get “glory”. And of course we’re not supposed to in some ways, but I want to talk about it because I had a pretty tough day dealing with this and coming to…

Now a days every one wants to become rich and at the same time thinks that the only way of doing so is by winning the lottery or worse getting a pay rise. The issue I have with this concept is the fact that you will only know how to do it if you know what are you striving for.
Wise words from one so young! Being roughly 40 years older than you, if I crunch the numbers, I have less than 10,000 opportunities left but that inspires rather than frightens me.

The very purpose of being is action. The state of inactivity is unnatural.Action oriented towards self-actualization, in particular selfless acts of compassion and dutifulness, is the highest form of karma. Self-realization is the stepping stone to self-actualization.
You know what? It’s okay not to do anything. Sometimes in life you just don’t want to do anything. And that’s okay. You just don’t feel like it. If you don’t feel like then why do it?

I would see myself as a digital nomad of sorts. Though I have a home office, I do like to create field offices. In my area of Florida there are plenty of local nomads in my area.

Entre las maravillas de la sobremesa está que, casi sin excepción, lo que en ese momento comemos lo comemos porque nos apetece, no porque tenemos hambre y necesitamos calmar, saciar esa intranquilidad.
Self worth

Your idea rings true, this is why such books as “Hillbilly Elegy” has been such a hit with readers. A story of over coming hardships and hope for possibilities that readers can imagine for themselves.
