Absolute legend
Surprised the bro @nicolasasommo at the Hartford Marathon today.
First time meeting in person after connecting through Twitter.
I ran the half marathon, but the highlight was being at the finish line to witness him hit his sub 3 marathon goal. Hard work pays off! 🦾🫡

I entered UCLA as a freshman at 46 and graduated with a computer science and digital media management degree at 50. In the ten years since, I’ve made three feature films, two film shorts, established a film festival, written for numerous publications, and published two books (third one on the way). You’re either alive or dead. Those are the only two ages.

Chris Williamson shared one of the most overlooked truths about self-improvement.
“If you want to go from where you are to where you want to be, you're going to have to do something that makes you more different, more weird, more easy to be mocked.”
The hardest part isn't waking up early, going to the gym, or staying disciplined. It's surviving what he calls “the lonely chapter”: the period where you've outgrown your old life, but haven't yet built your new one.
Chris: “You're so different that you can't resonate with your old set of friends. But you're not yet sufficiently developed that you've created your new set of friends.”
Most people mistake this feeling for failure and go back to the habits, people, and routines they already know. Not because they're happier there, but because familiarity feels safer than uncertainty.
Chris: “There is this temptation to go back to the old ways of thinking... to the road that you already know how it's going to end.”
Movies make personal growth look like one inspiring montage. In reality, it's years of showing up without knowing if any of it will pay off. You're surrounded by uncertainty, questioning whether you're wasting your time, while everyone else seems content staying the same.
That's why so few people truly change. The loneliness isn't a detour. It's part of the journey. If you can survive that chapter without turning back, you're already further ahead than most people ever get.

Muscular runners dominating endurance races have become a staple of fitness feeds—and a hot topic for debate. There may be more to their training regiments than meets the eye. gq.com/story/hybrid-athlete?…

you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

This sentence from Carl Jung hits hard.
“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.”

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
