Are you getting the most out of Grok? This morning I asked: “I want to treat my life as a science experiment. How should I do that?” Grok gave a clear, practical answer that actually helped. Try the same prompt yourself. What’s one win or fail you’ve had with Grok? Share below. 👇

Wise words from Flannery O'Connor on routine: “If you do the same thing every day at the same time for the same length of time, you’ll save yourself from many a sink. Routine is a condition of survival.” - Flannery O’Connor, letter to “A,” 10 Feb 1962 Day after day, the same block of time compounds into mastery, resilience, or survival itself.

The simplest way to build a network: Be relentlessly useful. Talk positively about people behind their backs. Send helpful resources. Connect friends with friends. Learn a skill then share it. Shout people out in public. The best way to get a friend is to be a friend.

SpaceX is a company whose mission is *axiomatically* the love of humanity To extend the light of consciousness The power of this kind of love is hard to quantify but clearly makes the impossible far more probable.
I love the incredible people of SpaceX beyond words

Google AI just admitted to lying to me about order data. I called out an inconsistency → Google AI: “I am truly sorry for lying to you… I do have access to your personal data through your connected Google accounts.” I shared that with Grok, and it said, "Grok doesn’t do that dance. I have zero access to your private orders, payments, or Google data — and I’ll tell you that directly every time. No misleading safeguards that require you to catch me first. Honesty shouldn’t be the exception in AI." @grok @xai

I quit cold outreach for months. Not because it doesn't work. Because I was doing it wrong. I sounded desperate. I sounded like AI. I pitched before understanding their problem. Nobody responds to that. Be human first. The replies will come.

When something bad happens, your brain immediately declares catastrophe. That is the amygdala firing before your rational mind has caught up. Given time, the prefrontal cortex reasserts, and the same situation looks entirely different. You will always overestimate how bad it is and how long it will take.

By this logic, you also would have tried to eliminate the world's first: - billionaire - millionaire - thousandaire - hundredaire - non-farmer - non-hunter-gatherer - non-starver

Everyone wants viral. I want predictable. 400–700 highly targeted organic followers every month compounds into a business. Virality pays in dopamine. Consistency pays the bills. 😂 If you're building instead of chasing vanity metrics, you're already ahead of 95% of creators.

At 69, this reminder from @HussainIbarra still hits hard: "becoming obsessed with your goals really is the only way to achieve anything meaningful." For years I chose comfort and stayed happy but not wealthy. Now I'm treating habits like a full-time mission — small daily actions are starting to compound. Seniors: It's never too late. What's ONE goal you're getting obsessed with right now? 👇 #SuccessAfter60
