Who you are is evolving every day. Take care of yourself by tending to the basics. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, rest, breathing, and gratitude. Keep to these tiny steps, and over time, you will emerge with a tremendous body of wisdom. Your vista is expanding, not just here across the Fabulous landscape, but for who you are in the world.

It’s unfortunate that people are incentivized to think this way. Don’t worry about what other people think about you, or try to construct an image or brand. Just be your authentic self. Don’t listen to fools like this.

I will make the other happy publishing my Best Travel 🧳? Or I will be more social collaborative by showing me facing my hard time and that life is not so “easy” and that we need effort and lucky to be able to have a little more comfortable ?

If Southpark taught me anything, you have to always include “victim” as part of your personal brand.

If you are not in the cial market space right now, you are in a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

  Investing in Stocks and Forex is the wisest, it’s a place where millionaires and future billionaires come to get inspired. If you’ve not been involved in any you’re missing out. Most
  importantly If you know how to trade you can make a ton of mnoney no matter where you find yourself

  As a beginner who don’t understand how Bitcoin trade/forex trading really works and you really want to make profit from it. I will advise you to first start working with a professional broker.

Not EVERYTHING you post is part of your brand. I have a reddit account that I make sure is unliked (unless someone does some really in-depth sleuthing) with my other social media. We are still in an age where people can keep relative anonymity in some online spaces, for better or worse.

This Electric Unicycle is Technically a Bi-cycle?

We tried out the InMotion E20 self-balancing vehicle. You could call it a unicycle but it’s actually a 2-in-1. Would you try this? #electric #ev #unicycle #InMotion #electricscooter
