Police officers disguised themselves as road workers to experience firsthand the dangers...
You Become What You Repeatedly Reinforce I was having a conversation with ChatGPT and this sentence intrigued me:: “Humans tend to repeatedly reference whatever sits at the center of their internal operating system. For some people, that’s achievement, trauma, politics, self-improvement, money, relationships, or spirituality.” It got me thinking… What sits at the center of your internal operating system and how is that impacting your reality? Are you even aware of the filter through which you...
