Always consider multiple perspectives.

Physics

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.

Unspeakable Vastness II

These are not individual stars. These are galaxies.

And you are made of stars. And galaxies.

We are all made of stars.

Unspeakable Vastness

This is a galaxy.

Ours, the Milky Way, contains an estimated 300 billion stars.

There are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable Universe, and estimates of 1 trillion.

That equates to a potential of 3e+23 stars.

That's a lot.

And you... are made of stars. Look it up. It's true. It's science.

Have a nice day!

Be Kind.

Focus

You point the camera of your mind. What are you pointing it at? You choose what to focus on. The picture of your life will end up being what you decide to create as you look, choose, focus, and tigger the shutter.

What are you focusing on. What are you spending most of your time pointing your mind towards?

What you focus on... is what will develop.

I love airplanes. I love watching them. Riding them. Eating aboard them. Seeing the scenery go by. Sleeping on them. Love airplanes.

And Delta Air Lines has my favorite airplanes.

Amtrak

I love trains. I love watching them. Riding them. Eating aboard them. Seeing the scenery go by. Sleeping on them. Love trains.

Pacific Central Station (VAC)

I love train travel. I love any kind of travel. Today I am on Cascades 513 headed from Vancouver BC to Seattle, WA. It's a very nice Talgo train (Spanish) and I met the representative for the company on board the train today. We had a very nice chat about new High Speed services going in around the world and discussed the major train manufacturers of HS train sets like Talgo, ICE, and Bombardier. I love talking trains. This photo was taken in the PCS in Vancouver at 5:25 AM, an hour before departure.

Do not covet thy dermatologist buddy's car.

More Nephews

My youngest brother Ryan is moving from Miami to Provo where I live to practice Ophthalmology. He will be bringing my 4 nephews with him. Since there's no beach in Provo, I'm trying to convince him of the importance of buying a house with a pool as to not cause his kids too much environmental shock.

Speaking Brilliance

Two students at my Speaking Brilliance class in Tel Aviv, Israel. A great learning experience for all was had. 3, 2, 1... Speak!

Cold

It's cold. It has been cold since Christmas. Running, biking, walking outside can be painful it is so cold. What to do... what to do. I know. Hot soup! I am going to make hot soup!

If I stop thinking solely about the cold, and what I can actually do to feel better, then I will feel better. I'll stop being so preoccupied with the weather and focusing on what will put me in a better state. Shifting my focus can be a powerful way to deal with something unpleasant. I will shift focus from the challenge to the solutions, and then enact one or more solutions. If I do nothing but think about how much I hate the cold... I am stuck. But if I start to think about and focus on what I can do... I'm back in control of my life.

Yes it is cold...

...but look! Soup! Hot soup!

There are 358 days left until 2014. 8600 hours. 51,600 minutes. So many possibilities! What will you do with each of yours? Decide to make this day, and each moment of your life extraordinary. It takes effort, it takes focus, and it takes letting go... completely. And you are worth it.
