I was asked yesterday on a coaching call how I’m always positive :)

This has been an intentional choice & something I’ve worked hard at for years now!

🙏You can’t be grateful & grumpy at the same time!!

🔥I curate my entire life around positivity.

Strategies I use: 🧵
👇👇

❌I never watch sad movies or horror movies.
If I’m watching movie it’s going to inspire or educate me.

❌I never listen to sad music.
All praise music that floods my soul.
I dance & sing often too :)

❌I don’t follow toxic people.
Only Champs that inspire me on my timeline!💪
❌I don’t follow politics or the news at all.
My wife said on Jan 25th something about President Biden & I had no clue he had been inaugurated 🤷
He’s President now?!

Maybe that’s bad,
but I feel I affect the most change in the world from within myself, my home & my community.
❌I don’t allow toxic or negative people on social media or real life.
I block frequently if they are toxic online.

In real life it’s harder, but necessary.
We recently cut out 2 family members that were critical & negative about our mission to foster.
We don’t need that!!✌️
I cut out a long time friend of 16 years that wouldn’t stop talking about politics & Cvoid nonstop.

I asked him to stop & offered to talk other topics but when he persisted & I felt my anxiety rise every time he text,
I decided my peace was more important during this season.
✅I constantly audit where my focus, thoughts & goals are.
✅I am very intentional to pause throughout the day several times & reflect on controlling my thoughts & ensuring they are serving me!!
✅I have journaled what I’m grateful for 985 days in a row :)
✅My wife & I talk wins & how we can build one another up!!
✅Putting my daughter to bed every night we talk about what we are grateful for & why we need to give back & be thankful.
✅My conversations with friends are similar!
We are getting better let’s go!💪🔥🐉
I take some flack for this.
That’s ok :)

Tyler lives in the clouds, he’s not in reality...

We create our reality!!🔥💪

I control my inputs & then I GET TO live a life full of joy, peace & positivity!

Challenges & setbacks happen daily.
I CHOOSE to see them as opportunities.
I don’t always succeed.
I have days like everyone else I wake up “off” cranky, tired, agitated etc.

I fight hard on those days sometimes taking 7-8 mini breaks to
“Reset my day”

-I’ll meditate & visualize winning
-praise music & give it to God
-breath work
-journal gratitude
@naval had a great quote,

“If you are so smart, why aren’t you happy.”

I prioritize my happiness & my peace & CHOOSE everyday to see the good & be positive above all else.

I hope you CHOOSE to be happy & positive as well today!!

IMO, it’s how we change the world!!
❤️🙏

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread

How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.

Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were


2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work

3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics

4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things

5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley
I’ve asked Byers to clarify, but as I read this tweet, it seems that Bret Stephens included an unredacted use of the n-word in his column this week to make a point, and the column got spiked—maybe as a result?


Four times. The column used the n-word (in the context of a quote) four times. https://t.co/14vPhQZktB


For context: In 2019, a Times reporter was reprimanded for several incidents of racial insensitivity on a trip with high school students, including one in which he used the n-word in a discussion of racial slurs.

That incident became public late last month, and late last week, after 150 Times employees complained about how it had been handled, the reporter in question resigned.

In the course of all that, the Times' executive editor said that the paper does not "tolerate racist language regardless of intent.” This was the quote that Bret Stephens was pushing back against in his column. (Which, again, was deep-sixed by the paper.)
The #worldwildlifeday2021 theme is Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals 1, 12, 13 and 15. So, what are the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) & how can children begin to learn about them & get involved ?

https://t.co/8ICvHxE9QL is easy & fun to follow for our smallest of people #EYFS. Early childhood is the perfect stage to introduce the core concepts of what it means to be a global citizen. For our reception & KS1 children please take a look at this fabulous free resource

https://t.co/tZx8UIS58Q Storytelling is a powerful communications tool and helps children remember lessons and virtues that they will use in everyday life. The idea is to simplify the lessons of the (SDGs) so young children can relate to – and better understand – the SDGs.

For older children here’s a board game that aims to help teach children around the world about the Sustainable Development Goals in a simple and child-friendly way

This is a lovely free book for children to enjoy flicking through themselves https://t.co/ScMbQCfpjl Elyx, the United Nations’ digital ambassador, uses various expressions and actions to help demonstrate the meaning of each Sustainable Development Goal.
