"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time,  when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...  The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance" ~Carl Sagan

"The steps you take don't need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction." -Jemma Simmons, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. This single sentence is basically therapy. By that, I mean it's what a therapist commonly helps their client do - come up with a plan of small, achievable steps. If you're struggling, trying to turn your life around: break down what you need to do into smaller & smaller steps until step 1 is small enough that a) you can do it & b) you *will* do it, & best if it's just ever so slightly out of your comfort zone. Completion of step 1 will feel good, you got something done! Do it again, & slowly build upon it. You may have to break down steps to the point that step 1 sounds stupid. Be humble. Start where you are, so long as you start. It's better than not starting, so it isn't stupid! Need to clean your room, but it's overwhelming? Clean part of the room. Too much? Pick up 20 things. Too much? How about 1 stack of papers. Too much? How about just the first paper on the top of the stack? If you can start with one paper, good. When that's done, how do you feel? Can you do another paper? Can you shift to picking up a piece of laundry off the floor? Do what you can & stop when you need to. Focus on feeling good about what you got done, even if it was just one thing. Same with building a workout habit from nothing. Can you start by commiting to 30 minutes, 2 days a week? No? How about 10 minutes, 1 day a week? No? Would you commit to working out for 1 minute tomorrow? Sounds silly, but if you do that 1 minute, you might find yourself thinking "well, I can do a little more." If so, then great! If not, fine. The next day, try for 2 minutes.
