I wanted a thousand things in my life, and most of them i didn't get. and i looked at myself the way this post is asking me to, and thought i wasn't smart enough. but years passed, and i started seeing what each of those things would have done to me if i had gotten them, and every single one would have destroyed me - some fast and some slow. everything i didn't get turned out to be the smartest thing that happened to me, but it was not my smartness. it was something else deciding on my behalf, because i was not smart enough to decide for myself. sometimes not getting what you want is the only proof that something out there loves you more than you were ever capable of loving yourself

The hardest lesson is that comfort and happiness are not the same thing. A comfortable life can still leave a man empty, while suffering can become the very thing God uses to make him whole.

There was a 40 year period in history when samurai, pirates, and cowboys all technically existed at the same time.

Millennial men are in their mids 30 to early 40s now Time to do something heroic There is no one else to rely on.

This paralyzed man wrote a classic by blinking his left eye. What’s your excuse?

Why do I keep buying books when my shelves can’t hold them all? Well, these were $7.50. It would have been a sin to pass that up.

Watch the new version of The Count of Monte Cristo from PBS Masterpiece.

A few years ago, I got into an Uber. The driver and I ended up having a deep conversation. He traced his relationship patterns to how love was withheld from him as a kid. Before I got out, he told me he'd just asked God for a sign to change his life. I recommended a book and wished him well. A week later, I ordered another Uber. It turns out... It was the same driver. And this time, he was reading the book that I recommended to him a week earlier. He told me his life had transformed in that week. That's a Divine Moment. I've shared a lot of my Divine Moments over the past few years online. But I've never actually taught the process for how to experience them yourself. So I'm launching a 2-week course so you can experience more Divine Moments. Over 14 days, we'll use guided meditation and hypnosis to invite more synchronicity, joy, and magic into your daily life. Here's what's included: • 14 live Zooms at 12pm CST (Monday, March 23 to Sunday, April 5) • Full replay access if you can't make it to a live session • Lifetime access to the recordings • 100% money back guarantee • Investment: $44 Join the group here: dannymiranda.com/divine-mome…

Change your story. Change your actions. Change your life. In that order.

If there is no inner self, then explain the continuous thread of consciousness that continues throughout my entire life.

Have opinions that AI is not allowed to have. Write better than AI can possibly write. I’m not worried that AI was equal to some NYT slop writer. Compare it to Dostoevsky and see who wins.

Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky might be the funniest (and most terrifyingly relatable) book I've ever read. Here are a few random quotes: “There is not one word of what I said that I’ve truly believed.” “I have never been a coward at heart, but I have always been a coward in action.” “Though it was hardly a stroll, so much as a series of innumerable miseries, humiliations, and resentments."
