Warning, story: When I was on tour, I saw good people do bad things because of lack of money.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it gets you out of survival mode.
Survival mode disables compassion & intelligent thought
Help people get a basic income = better world.

My banner is lame?
I hid under those railroad tracks as trains drove overhead.
The culvert in the back? Where I had my first smoke.
That closed little shop? Where I bought single cigs, chips, pop.
It was a fishing town. Then everyone lost their jobs.
This is where I'm from.

Training experiment:
Going to be training deadlifts, squats and overhead presses for low reps daily.
5 days a week.
This will either destroy me or turn me 100% barbarian.

Interesting.
Never really heard anyone talking about glycine before.
Just did a quick google on it.
May help support:
• heart and liver health
• improve sleep
• reduce diabetes risk
• and reduce muscle loss
Sounds like good stuff.

70 days writing on Medium earned me:
$8.80
290 followers
6 subscribers
I wrote 47 articles between 500-1000 words average.
Each article takes a couple hours to write and edit.
I bet I could make that with one tweet here on twitter.

When my fiance cheated on me while on tour, I cracked.
Filled to the brim with rage.
I needed an outlet.
So I decided to get in killer shape.
I entered a bodybuilding competition and won.
Lesson?
It's ok to get mad.
Some of us only get results when fueled by spite + rage.

I like commenting on smaller accounts.
The people actually talk back.
Initially I was all about getting into the comments of bigger accounts for “exposure.”
Now I only comment on 3-5 big accounts. Sometimes
I like to hang out more in followers comments sections now.

We try to grasp too much of life at once; since we think of it as a whole, instead of living one day at a time.
Life is a mosaic, and each tiny piece must be cut and set with skill, first one piece, then another.

People say the best skills to earn money online are:
→ Freelancing
→ Copywriting
→ Ghostwriting
→ Affiliate marketing
Skills are great, but getting clients is the REAL skill.

I have an idea - when you interact with people and find out they are for real, add them to a private twitter list. That way you can check that list first thing and catch up - then move onto full feed if you want.

For a person with ADHD that's kind of a big deal.
Focus is a master skill for everyone.
With ADHD it's the difference between being a conquerer or constantly confused.
Did I just try harder? NO
I've been TRYING hard to succeed my whole life

Having a weakness does not mean you are weak.
You are weak when you don't seek help.
You are weak when you won't admit there is a problem.
Strength is seeing a weakness and seeking solutions.
Then acting on answers.
You'll fail.
But keep trying.
This is strength.

When I started lifting weights I weighed 126 pounds.
I couldn't gain any weight or muscle no matter what I tried.
After some changes that I didn't find in the muscles magazines...
I gained 49 pounds in a year.
