Many great points. A little long for motivation posters, but quotes to put on a wall, at least.

"Be still" - that's my favorite I think. It's the ultimate sign of control. Being still when everything is in high speed, taking a step back, reflecting, giving the mind time to process. Being able to do that, against the brutal stream of events and short-lived emotions, against everyone else who's running while juggling, that's true power. Not giving into the siren song of the mainstream.

And yes, I always preach and try to live a balance. There are some ideals that I'd love to get closer to, which don't require a balance - like having pure intentions in good deeds, without expecting anything in return, not even from the universe. I don't need a balance there, it's something within me that does not affect others in any way, nor can it bring harm to me (it's still conscious giving, not just throwing favors at anyone who asks for it).

Long? Motivation posters. I remember them, there used to be around in the 1980's pinned on the wall where everyone ignored them.

The never version are those shallow motivation phrases that people in their lifetime crises over a spoiled avocado post on "social" media.

Yeah, social media, not something I'm into, but the rest of the world seem addicted.

Not only seem, they are. And it's getting worse by the day. I use them for business and keep in touch with some friends, but I hope that I will be able to persuade most of them to join HIVE instead :-D

Yeah, it's really quite an issue I think, maybe my age I guess, but I see so much wrong. As your friends onboard to Hive let me know who they are, I'll check them out.

I will, but I'll train them first as I was trained for this... I'm mainly talking about the freedom & responsibility part of Hive, and try to avoid the economic thing. That way, I hope to get those who'll take it as I - focus on expressing themselves and engage in the community with the pleasant byproduct of a little extra income (which they then can spend in my bakery, and later hopefully other spots in town). I have big plans...

The never version are those shallow motivation phrases that people in their lifetime crises over a spoiled avocado post on "social" media. Basically boiling down very valid thoughts to a point that they're obviously true, but not really useful. A mere display of fake depth.

That's why your phrases are too long for those motivational stuff. They do preserve some depth. Not a complete essay, but enough to make sense of them. Too much for people used to headlines and platitudes.
