Mindset shifts I wish I had known sooner: These cover three important reminders: ↳ People forget facts but remember stories. ↳ Don’t just empathize, take action to help someone. ↳ The quality of your life comes from the quality of your relationships. Here are my 10 learnings: 1/ Build A Habit Of Writing. ↳ Put your goals, thoughts, dreams, etc on paper. ↳ Writing brings clarity and power to your ideas. 2/ Overthinking Is Mental Busywork. ↳ Use your mind to solve problems, not to create them. ↳ Stop thinking and start doing. Don’t let overthinking trap you. 3/ Facts Are Forgotten. Stories Are Remembered. ↳ Master storytelling—it’s a game changer. Connect with emotion. ↳ Speak from the heart and give people a reason to care. 4/ Where Your Focus Goes Energy Follows. ↳ Trying to do it all makes you busy, and not productive. ↳ Zero in on tasks that drive real progress. Say no to a lot! 5/ Without Action, Empathy Means Little. ↳ Don't just listen—take action to make a difference. ↳ Take decisive steps to help those in need. 6/ Big Words Mean So Little. ↳ Keep it simple to be understood. ↳ Don't try to sound smart—just be clear. 7/ Relationships Are What You Remember. ↳ Invest time and effort to build quality relationships. ↳ Better connections mean a better life. 8/ Strength Is In Community. ↳ Surround yourself with the right people—in life and work. ↳ Lean on them to build your resilience and drive. 9/ Nothing Worthwhile In Life Is Easy. ↳ The pain of discipline is momentary, regret is forever. ↳ Choose wisely. 10/ Getting Started Is Hard. Make The First Step Small. ↳ Big dreams can overwhelm quickly. ↳ Break them into small, daily steps—make it a habit. P.S. Which lesson resonates most with you? #2 is my favorite.

Why should we read books? Reading books is an essential activity that offers a multitude of benefits across various aspects of life. Here’s a detailed exploration of why reading is important: 1. Cognitive Development and Intelligence Enhancement Reading books stimulates the brain, enhancing cognitive functions such as comprehension, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Engaging with complex narratives and diverse vocabulary helps improve overall intelligence. Studies have shown that individuals who read regularly tend to score higher on intelligence tests and achieve better academic performance. This is because reading requires active engagement, which exercises the brain much like physical exercise strengthens muscles. 2. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence Books often present characters with diverse backgrounds and experiences, allowing readers to step into their shoes and understand different perspectives. This practice fosters empathy, as readers learn to appreciate viewp...
October 7, 2025 From the moment I heard Last Rite by Ozzy Osbourne was for preserving order, I didn’t even think twice — I ordered it instantly. Then came the wait. Days felt longer. Every knock at the door had me checking if it was here. I waited patiently, but deep down I was counting the minutes. And finally... it arrived. When I opened the package and saw the book inside, I didn’t just look at it — I held it tightly. Like I was holding the weight of an era. A final message from the Prince of Darkness himself. This isn’t just a book — it’s a ritual. A relic. A farewell sealed in ink and legacy. Ashlee Johnston 's review Oct 14, 2025 · edit it was amazing “A raw, unfiltered look at the man behind the madness — and a must-read for lifelong fans.” I grew up hearing my dad play Black Sabbath , so Ozzy’s voice has always been part of the soundtrack of my life. By the time I got my own copy of Blizzard of Ozz , I was completely hooked — and I’v...
The first time I heard Ozzy Osbourne, it was “No More Tears” on the radio—and that was it for me. That voice, that intensity... I was hooked. I went straight to the record shop and picked up a Black Sabbath album. Then another. Sometimes just one CD at a time, sometimes two—until I had every single one by 2001. Ozzy became the soundtrack to my life. His music walked with me through chaos, clarity, and everything in between. Songs like “Mama, I’m Coming Home” hit especially hard now after losing my mom. That one breaks me open every time—but in a way that feels healing, like I’m still somehow talking to her. Even now, decades later, Ozzy keeps speaking to me. His newer tracks have hit just as hard—maybe even more. “Ordinary Man” with Elton John is a recent favorite. Honest. Fragile. Legendary. And “Under the Graveyard”… that one? It cuts deep. It’s raw, real, and reminds me that even our heroes are human—that strength comes from surviving what tried to break you. Thank you, Ozzy. For ev...
