The brain craves growth — starve it, and it decays!

The human brain evolved to thrive under stress, uncertainty, and adaptation — not comfort.
Our ancestors’ struggles shaped neural pathways built for challenge and survival.
But in modern life, comfort dominates, and the brain grows idle.
True growth — mental, physical, emotional — still requires friction.

Some may disagree because " I won't be informed" or, I won't know what's happening in the world. But, that tends to be the "small talk" or the thing that someone is bent out of shape about and so I usually have a general sense of whats going on or what's trending.

The news makes me emotionally drained. I have empathy for the things going on in the world but I choose to take action with the things that are in front of me. Maybe I'm wrong but, for me, I choose to keep my energy for the things I have control over.

I choose to do the micro.

❤️Be kind to others,

❤️Try to be empathetic when listening

❤️If someone I care for is bothered by something going on in the world, try to find a neutral source to educate myself

❤️ Try and work on becoming a better person and intentionally work on my biases or flaws
