● Energy - you have a tank full of it.
● The Black Friday Chaos - “Mommy, why are they fighting?”
Mindset
When you don’t feel like doing anything.
It's like the universe hits the pause button, right?
First off, feeling unmotivated is totally normal. It's like a pit stop, not the end of the race.
But here's the deal: Life's too short to be dragging your feet. You've got dreams, goals, and a universe of opportunities waiting for you.
Remember, success doesn't happen by binge-watching Netflix or staring at the ceiling. It's about taking action, grinding, and hustling – even when you don't feel like it.
And let's talk about ENERGY – it's your secret weapon.
You've got a tank full of it, and nobody can deplete it without your permission. Surround yourself with positivity, kick negativity to the curb, and channel that energy into being a freakin' legend.
The only person standing between you and your goals is staring at you in the mirror. So, what's it gonna be? Are you gonna crush it or let it crush you?
Black Friday Story
"Mommy, why are they fighting?"
Black Friday madness. Shoppers had flooded to the store.
Discounts and deals beckoned, turning the aisles into a battlefield of bargains.
Karren, a seasoned Black Friday warrior, had eyed the last 55 inch TV on the shelf. The problem was that Mark, a determined newcomer, had also set his sights on the same prize.
Their eyes met, and the clash began.
Fingers intertwined in a battle for possession. Shouts and exclamations filled the air, creating chaos.
Then an innocent child’s voice emerged, “Mommy, why are they fighting?”
They both froze.
Karren and Mark looked at each other, the reality of their squabble hitting home.
As the child's mother whisked them away from the scene, the once frenzied shoppers took a collective breath.
With a shared understanding, they released their grip on the box.
Amidst chaos, a subtle harmony emerged. An incredible scene.
A realization dawned on Karren and Mark — nothing should ever drown out the symphony of shared humanity.
In that moment, the aisles transformed from a battleground into a stage where shoppers, despite their differences, acknowledged a common need for kindness and consideration.
Here’s a reminder:
The greatest discounts are found in empathy, and the most valuable purchases are those moments of shared humanity.

The Two Systems of Thinking
In the book, Kahneman introduces the concept of two systems of thinking: System 1 and System 2.
System 1: This is fast, intuitive, and operates automatically with little effort or voluntary control. It's the system we use for quick decisions and reactions.
System 2: This is slow, deliberate, and requires conscious effort. It's involved in complex reasoning, problem-solving, and decisions that demand more cognitive resources.
Understanding these systems is like having a user manual for your brain. It helps explain why we make certain decisions, why we fall for cognitive biases, and how our minds navigate the complexities of daily life.
