Welcome back, Douglas! Beautiful post. This right here is particularly inspiring! "When you find what is yours to do, do it. Don’t ever regret being a person of integrity. It’s the only way our souls get satisfied." 🤍
"Everyone should get off social media. It reduces human flourishing in the world, and it reduces human flourishing for you." YES DOUGLAS.
I have been saying this for years, but only had the courage to break with FB and IG two years ago. The outcome has been revelatory to my mental, social, and emotional wealth. Surprisingly, my financial wealth has been unaffected by the change. This was my biggest fear: I run a private online school, and I was afraid that I'd lose my livelihood if I stopped using social media to get the word out about my programs.
I think more of us need to start stating this fact about leaving social media more often, to more people, to normalize the sentiment and make it seem more possible to live without it.
Well that was way more than I expected and just what I needed/wanted to hear. Back to the business of love! One way I try to do that is to remember (as a wise friend told me) that we can see God/Love in each person's face. I look for God in the face of people I find annoying (sorry but it happens) and it helps me see God there and remember that this person is beloved by God and deserves love. It helps me be patient and kind. I kind of fell off the wagon recently so back at it for me! Thank you, Douglas.

I knew that was a Talking Heads link. I knew and I loved. And I clicked and I danced. Thanks, Douglas!

I like the idea of attending a great work of my life. What would it consist of? Any idea on the price or structure?
