Be bored more often.
Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.
In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.
Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:
If your mind is loud — Write.
If your mind is empty — Read.
If your mind is racing — Walk.
If your mind is tired — Sleep.
If your mind is sharp — Build.
Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

No one in my life knows I have a Substack.
I wanted this to be a space for myself, a place to say what I want, without filtering myself.
I don’t want to think about who’s reading, or how it might land, or whether I’m being too much.
It’s lonelier this way. Starting from nothing. Speaking into the void.
But for now, this space is mine. That’s how I want it to stay.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

In Iraq's book market, books are left on the street overnight because, as Iraqis say, "the reader does not steal and the thief does not read."

I think we are moving away from the era of social media and into an era of online micro-communities. More intentional, less chaos. Smaller, but more valuable. More boundaries, more containment.
We were never made to read the unhinged thoughts of hundreds of strangers each day, but we were made to gather around fires with groups and share our stories.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.
Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.
You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.
In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.
If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

Uncommon advice:
If you don't know what to pursue in life right now.
Pursue yourself.
Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.
Then the right path will reveal itself.

This Supreme Court is one of the most political in history. Especially Thomas and Scalia. ACB seems to have grown a conscience to some extent and even Kavanaugh has disappointed MAGA somewhat. But this guy… Thomas.. yeah he’s as corrupt as they come. He doesn’t even try to hide it.

I might get slightly bashed for this one—but just my personal intake;
Can we please stop giving the “universe” credit for what GOD is doing?
It’s not the stars aligning — it’s the Savior making a way.
Doors don’t just open on their own. That’s GOD.
Let’s start calling it what it is and giving honor where it’s due.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

These are fine words and thoughts from Dr. Malone as usual~!
We here also live life to the fullest and our choice to own and live on a small farm/ranch is quite intentional for many reasons, however Dr. Malone well describes the feeling of personal accomplishment that comes from operating an agricultural property as opposed to having a standard city life in the asphalt jungle. Here on our beautiful homestead, we take care of many domestic animals and local charities & Individuals really enjoy th…
Thank you, Tom,~!
That is very nice of you, and may you have a great New Year in 2025 when "we" take back our beloved America and send the criminals packing~! ;-)
Sincerely, Mike
Thank YOU, Mike.
It would be a blessing if not only every illegal immigrant who has over run the USA, but every "American" Communist, Socialist (SAME thing) and "progressive" ALSO would be DEPORTED - and made it plain on DEATH should they ever step foot again on American soil. "We" don't want no stinking Socialist Democracy hell bent on destroying our REPUBLIC!
Absolutely~!
ALL of the illegal trespassers need to be deported ASAP! This must be done to secure our country and to make sure that "we" (America) respect and support the good folks who LEGALLY enter the US to be part of our country~! I have been a professional analyst who has been monitoring this terrible problem for decades because it is just something that American Constitutionalists do, and from the looks of things President Trump and his folks will be deporting many of the Illegal aliens ri…
You said a mouthful, Mike! LOL! I have been trying to alert my fellow American patriots of what has come to a head now - for the past half century ( I just turned 88!)
The sly step-by-step SOCIALIST method of overthrowing a sovereign nation has happened and still s happening TO America - despite the recent exposure and loss of power by the "American" liberals, progressives, Socialists and Communists and RINO Republicans - MARXISM is a "mental disease" that few affected will have the intellectual…
Absolutely correct my fellow American Patriot Tom Daniel~!
Ha! I enjoyed reading your choices of words that well describes what is unfolding in America and the world right now ;-) I have no "hang ups" relating to age, however I always feel great sympathy for anyone who has knowingly suffered through life with an Enlightened understanding longer than I have. Good God~! You have about 20 years on me, and it is not very often that I run across someone who is older and has been "aware" (awake ;-) as…
Stop what you're doing and read this. It's from today. "...the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military…"
What Trump has also done is to do more to unite a fractious opposition in the shortest period of time into a wave of resistance. By attacking us “We the People” he has forged us into a diverse and powerful force whose motto could be “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. We even have whole countries from all over the globe standing up for us.
