Journal Prompt 233

"But it ain't just about how you just praise him in the building
It's about how you praisin' him while you out.
You taught me to remember that when I get set back
Been through the worst times to get the best back
Wishin' for a time machine to jet back
To my all time low self and throw me a jetpack." ✈️🎒

Happy Sunday Everyone 👋🏻

There is just something undeniable about the power of music and the way it always seems to meet us exactly where we are in life.

If you only read those lyrics 👆🏼 I would encourage you to listen to at least the first verse. The story in his words "wishing for a Time Machine to get back, to my all time low self and throw me a jet pack." is something that really resonates with me.

Life is full of so much pain and trauma, and there are moments in my life that I wish I could go back, even if just for 30 seconds to let myself know I'm going to be okay.

What age would you go back in time to talk to yourself and what would you say?

What I'm listening to

This Episode felt appropriate on SuperBowl Weekend. In the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan sits down with Aaron Rodgers. As one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NFL history, Rodgers opens up about his life both on and off the field.

Throughout the episode, Rodgers shares insights into his unconventional journey to success, discussing his experiences in professional football, his passion for health and wellness, and his views on leadership and personal growth. He also delves into topics such as mindfulness, spirituality, and the importance of self-discovery.

In addition to discussing his football career, Rodgers and Rogan explore a variety of other subjects, including their shared interests in alternative medicine, consciousness, and the pursuit of excellence. The conversation is both thought-provoking and entertaining, offering listeners a glimpse into the mind of one of the NFL's most enigmatic and accomplished athletes.

Whether you're a football fan or simply interested in hearing two fascinating individuals engage in a deep and meaningful conversation, this episode has it all and is sure to captivate and inspire.

Interesting Fact

Did you know that there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy? While it's difficult to estimate the exact number of trees, recent studies suggest that there are over 3 trillion trees on our planet, compared to an estimated 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

This fact not only highlights the incredible biodiversity of our planet but also underscores the vital role that trees play in supporting life on Earth. From producing oxygen and providing habitat for countless species to mitigating climate change and beautifying our landscapes, trees are truly remarkable organisms that deserve our admiration and protection.

So, the next time you find yourself walking through a forest or admiring a tree-lined street, take a moment to appreciate the majesty and importance of these ancient, life-giving giants. They are not only a source of inspiration but also a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things on our planet.
