Do Justice Love Mercy Tait McKenzie

- Education
For a person who is silenced, I am a voice.
For a person lost in a nightmare, i am permission to dream.
Amid instability, constancy
Amidst cynicism and shame, I am innocence restored.
In a dark labyrinth of bureaucracy, I am a way through.
Where others are moved to pity, I am moved to action.
Though i may be visited by discouragement, I do not play host to despair.
For while my appointment may come from my fans and fam, my calling comes from within.
To the person cast upon the mercy of an often merciless system, WE ARE heart and courage personified.
Change begins @ end of comfort zone

The Puzzle of Creative Masterpieces
There is a huge gap between the creative cultural icons of our time and the artists and designers who are just as talented but remain overlooked. Creative people go through a lot of trial and error to make beautiful work, and it can be very disheartening when nobody cares about it. When faced with an open-ended design problem or tasked with creating a work of art, the creative process can feel like trying to solve a puzzle. There is no such thing as a cautious creative; either you're cautious or you're creative, but you can't be both.

Flow Focus: Easy Effort
Flow is often described as a state of effortless effort. The term is coined by Gerta who uses the German word roush, which means overflowing with joy. William James worked on the topic, but Mihaly csikszentmihalyi is the godfather of flow psychology. The flow triggers are your toolkit. 22 of them have been discovered.
Once you have purpose, the system demands autonomy. Flow is universal in humans, actually universal in most mammals and deaf, all social MAs. Performance is how we amplify all the results beyond all reasonable expectation. Learning allows us to continue to play creativity, which is optimal.

A software that can lead you to easy street, a cryptocurrency with a hockey-sticking price, and a tremendous. success on the stock market. Paula Pant, the host of the Afford Anything podcast, argues that achieving true financial freedom is a lifelong journey.
Imagine your financial situation as a tree. Although the leaves and fruit are appealing and stimulating, the tree's strength rests in its roots. The same is true for good finances: they start with determining what you value most and what you can actually afford.

Ways we conceptualize “Work” and “Society”
How do you think hunter-gatherers lived throughout human history? You may assume that in a society where simply existing was a full-time job, their daily lives consisted of a perpetual struggle between eating and being devoured.
However, according to an anthropological study, that wasn't the case. For instance, when anthropologist James Suzman visited the Ju/'hoansi hunter-gatherers in the Kalahari Desert to study them, he discovered that they worked only 15 hours per week, and that a large portion of that time was spent on pursuits that many people in the contemporary West would consider leisure, such as hiking and fishing.
Of course, there were many difficult times for hunter-gatherers throughout history. But an anthropological study of both modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers has revealed a common theme: Rather than being a constant battle for energy. As Suzman told Big Think, looking at the lives of hunter-gatherers can help us rethink the ways we conceptualize work and society.
