Mel Robbins’ 5 second rule starts with a hard truth: you will never feel like doing the things you need to do.
The rule is simple. The moment you think of something you know you should do, like going for a walk, count backwards 5-4-3-2-1 and move before you hit one. No debating. If you give it more than five seconds, your brain starts making excuses, autopilot kicks in, and you talk yourself out of it.
Why backwards? Counting down takes your attention off the excuse and works like a launch signal, so you act before the old habit wins.
What’s interesting to me is the distinction at the end. She isn’t saying ignore what you want. She’s saying ignore how you feel about it right now. Those are very different instructions.
Five seconds is a short window. A lot of lives get decided inside it.

🚨 MILTON FRIEDMAN (1978): Young lawyer asked Milton about when it is okay for a Govt to force a free citizen to act.
Did you get the nuance in Milton's question about the difference between "society" and "govt"...
Do you think a man should be free to sin?

One of the best scenes in movies.
“But you have everything”
“No….”
This is true. Hollywood is a fabrication. You aren’t. What you write and do and love and experience is what is actually real.
They are just passing along messages in an ancient twisted war.

Building @avax was such a time and a vibe. We knew what we were building could power the entire world of finance someday. Thanks to a lot of hard work, hard decisions, and some lucky breaks, we managed to launch the network in an extremely stable state. Thank you to everyone!

Thomas Sowell warned about what happens when society starts treating experts and intellectuals as if they can’t be wrong.
The problem isn’t intelligence. It’s the assumption that being highly educated automatically means having the right answers.
Ideas should be judged by their results, not by the credentials of the person presenting them.
That’s a lesson worth remembering.

You can’t force anyone else to awaken. Real transformation begins within. If you want more love, compassion, and kindness in the world, embody them yourself. Change yourself, and your experience of the world changes with you.

It's not your fault that you think like this. But if you change it, great things can happen.

Fascinating! @JoelSalatin talks about ancient grasses that his pigs have awakened.
Nobody can identify these grasses & the leading theory is that their seeds have lay dormant for 100s of years, waiting for the right conditions.
This is environmentalism by participation.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
As a day one player, something about the heart of the seas feels different now. When Sea of Thieves first launched, the goal always felt simple: get the treasure and protect it… or steal the treasure and get away with it. Every voyage, every fight, every chase had that underlying purpose.
Back then the magic wasn’t just the combat. It was the story that came from it.
You’d spend an hour digging up chests, stacking loot on the deck, nervously watching the horizon the whole time. Then another ship would appear and suddenly everything mattered. Maybe you fought them off. Maybe you ran. Maybe you pulled off the steal of the century. Maybe you sank and lost it all.
But the treasure was the catalyst.
Lately it feels like something shifted. A lot of the seas feel more like a sweat meta fest where the main objective is just to fight and sink people, regardless of whether there’s even treasure involved. The fight became the whole point.
And don’t get me wrong… I love a good naval battle as much as anyone. PvP has always been part of the DNA of the game.
But the secret sauce of Sea of Thieves was always the shared world experience. The unpredictable encounters. The tension of having something to lose. The thrill of getting away with something valuable.
I’m not sure exactly when the shift happened. Maybe Hourglass played a role. Maybe diving mechanics changed the flow of the seas. Maybe it’s just years of players optimizing the fun out of the sandbox. Probably a mix of everything.
Either way, as a salty old pirate who’s been sailing since day one, I find myself missing the chase for treasure more than anything.
The fights used to mean something because there was always something on the line.
Anyone else feel that way? 🏴☠️
