What advice do you wish your parents had given you?

As humans we live for connection, and this story is proof:
In 1995, doctors told a family to say goodbye.
Brielle was fading fast. At barely two pounds, her oxygen was plummeting, her skin was turning blue, and every machine in the ICU screamed that her tiny heart was giving up.
Then a nurse broke the rules.
Ignoring hospital protocol that strictly separated premature twins, she trusted instinct over machinery. She gently picked up Brielle’s stronger sister, Kyrie, and laid her into the same incubator. Two fragile bodies, side by side, just as they had grown together in the womb.
What happened next silenced the entire room.
Within minutes, the alarms stopped. Brielle’s oxygen levels surged. Her frantic pulse steadied, her ragged breathing slowed, and the warmth flooded back into her skin.
Then came the moment that brought veteran doctors to their knees: Kyrie slowly lifted her tiny, fragile arm and wrapped it entirely around her dying sister—anchoring her to this world.
That single embrace didn’t just save a life. It shattered standard medical protocol forever, pioneering the practice of "co-bedding" twins across neonatal units worldwide.
Science couldn’t save her that night. A sister’s touch did.
Never underestimate the power of simply refusing to let go.
Politicians count on your ignorance of inflation. Henry Ford said, "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

I had a real life situation that could've turned ugly, but I recognized some unusual behavior in a stranger, and yanked my wife to safety which she fortunately didn't resist. I share the story here: psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
I lost my Dad when I was 19; there were many times when I needed his wisdom. I've written about those things I had to learn without paternal guidance. As I share them with my sons; I share them with you as well. What advice would you add to this list?

When have you been obsessed... when you couldn't let go until you had it?

Young farmers are swapping tractors for teams of horses, betting on the one engine a bank can never repossess.
A single modern tractor can top $200,000, with flagship models running past $600,000, debt that can bind a farm for decades.
A team of horses eats hay grown right on the farm, and a foal replaces the engine for free.
Farms like Around the Table Farm in Poulsbo, Washington stay small on purpose, sell locally, and owe nothing to a lender.
Support debt-free farmers on Localize.

Choose well, marry well… it’s a beautiful experience to be with someone who chooses you as you do them… they see you and make the little moments remarkable, regardless
