There is truth to this. I cannot prove it of course. But look at it this way, what could it hurt?
Watch your inner dialogue, words define your consciousness. Speak wellness, raise your joy, be mindful, wield wisdom, exercise kindness to yourself and others and above all else, embody what you want because you attract what you are. #WisdomWell

Watching these kinds of videos and looking at images of galaxies and star clusters helps me remember that my problems are small and fleeting. I hope it does the same for you.

Yep. Think about this as often as you can. It helps with keeping things in perspective (at least it helps me).
"The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us-there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries."

This is the look on my students’ faces when they finally understand something I’ve been trying to get across to them (even though they’re 19 or 20). Seeing that is the best feeling in the world and it’s why I love teaching.

Don’t be most people. (For those out there who grew up on Carl Sagan, his absence is still acutely felt, no?)
Most people inherit their beliefs. They rarely examine them.

I wish all of you a peaceful and reflective Memorial Day. Stay close to those you love, and remember those who gave everything to make it possible.

If you know someone who is alone or needs a friend, reach out to them. A beautiful smile, a kind word, or a gentle touch. It doesn't cost anything to be kind. And it can change a person's day or even their life ❤️

So... I hear you're looking for something to watch tonight, something that will make you feel good. Watch the Bob Ross channel! It's free on a bunch of tvs (Samsung, LG, etc.) and if you don't have one of those you can find it on Roku or Pluto as well. Just search for it. It's 24/7 of chill.

Everything that happened last night came back to Phillip all at once. He was now pretty sure he knew just exactly what he’d do for a Klondike Bar, and he really hoped there weren’t any pictures.
