I am so looking forward to visiting #comicbook shops all day on @Freecomicbook Day this #Saturday!! They're finally back on track - f'ing #COVID!! Anyway... Here's the list of #Free #comicbooks if you're interested - https://www.freecomicbookday.com/catalog https://www.instagram.com/p/CdD7dYFusP8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm #Cuban, and #cigars are a prerequisite. My wife's uncle who just quit smoking just got in from #California, and brought me this... I'm like a pig in shit right now!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CclwsIJu9mh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did you know there are over 40 #million users on #Twitch. Over 75% of which are viewers b/w 16 & 34. This leaves over 7 million active #streamers, out of which over 1.2 million are #affiliates and over 51k are partners. Leaving only The 50 Most Watched Streamers in the #world. Viewer ✔️ Streamer ✔️ Affiliate ✔️. I gotta #stream more! It is an #amazing feat to rank on #Twitch, based on these #numbers alone. However, the part that I feel took the most #courage was jumping from viewer to #streamer. You have to #believe in yourself on the way in, especially alone. But what I couldn't achieve alone was #TwitchAffilate. #ThankYou so much to all my viewers!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CccRAHIOzGE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I used to be the type who couldn't help but #compete against those who were outta my #league. Although some would say it isn't all bad, I'd say it's not at all good... #Disappointment can be debilitating, and some do it to reach an All or Nothing #goal. But I'm here to say that it's completely unnecessary. Competitors who are way ahead of you got their through #practice (months or years longer than you). That said, if you're willing to go up against them anyway, then you already have the #perfect #competitor in your midst, and that's you! If you're willing to give it your all, then the only competitor you'll ever need to go up against is yesterday's #YOU. THAT'S YOUR METRIC! Don't get pissed off when someone beats you; get #excited!! Why? Cause you can't compete effectively without #learning. At some point, it'll start becoming difficult for your competitors to beat you until they can't beat you at all!! Screw the destination... The #journey is EVERYTHING!!! What's the most number of kills can a #GearsofWar competitor get in one respawn? Five?? Seven??? I got 10!! And that was at the start of the #game!!! This is what competing against you looks like... It's almost effortless. https://www.twitch.tv/bakken_ttk/v/1421457635?sr=a&t=6s https://www.instagram.com/p/CcN7UjKOwA5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What I enjoy about playing #GearsofWar 5 MP is that the #game is #fast & unforgiving, which is a #challenge right from get, which I #love! Combining that with amazing #players I can #test my hand/eye coordination against is what makes it so #exciting! It's truly a #rush to reach that next level. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcMdrj5OICB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two brilliant books I've read on the topic of achieving flow are FLOW: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, by Csikszentmihalyi, and LIVING IN FLOW: The Science of Synchronicity and How Your Choices Shape Your World, by Sky Nelson. "To ultimately achieve flow, balance between challenge and skill must be reached first. It's only through balancing challenge and skill level that pure enjoyment can manifest, and as a result bring about an insatiable hunger to improve that you can fuse the mind and body, and ultimately achieve FLOW.
