'Let's say you are in the jungle. To your right is a lion. To your left is a rose garden.

You're going to pay A LOT of attention to the lion. Else you will die.

For 200,000 years, your brain has evolved to HEAVILY NOTICE the Lion and ignore the roses.

...

Our brains haven't yet adapted. The brain still wants to protect us from the lion.

Thank you brain. I'm going to get you a trophy. "Best Brain!"

Just kidding. You suck, brain.'


Funnily enough, today was the last day of my present job, and this morning I was reflecting that, in my next job, I need to make a concerted effort not to let the petty negative stuff drag me down.

It's going to be difficult, but worth it...
