If you can get past all the crazy shit going on in the world, there are a lot of incredibly talented, generous people out there sharing what they do and what they know with the rest of us puny mortals.

I try to drink from their example and surround myself with their positivity (or hate their guts for being so damn good, depending if I had my morning coffee or not).

As @Drusas also noted below, just discovering and enjoying new things, while also finding stories of humane positivity, everything nature and greenery, and listening to trackertunes that are well-crafted and have a strong storyline involved.

Seeing actual progressive change that benefits all of humanity and/or the planet

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Progressive ideas that have the concept of putting people first at their core. Creativity, imaginatively expressed, as art, code, music, literature, poetry, media.

Basically most things that aren't made with the express purpose of generating money.

In nature, there is a real lack of resources so animals compete against eachother for those resources to survive.

Humans, despite being smarter, are emulating the exact same thing with its money system. Creating artificial lack of something (money) we need to survive.

And these are the best ideas we have had so far. Lol.

Art, beauty, and pleasure, and the desire to see more of that in earnest in a world that seeks to convert anything and everything into profit; The beauty and humbling significance of nature in its indifferent power, and the grand scope of the endless nothingness that stretches beyond what our eyes will ever hope to see; People, real and true, speaking against cruelty and injustice, seeking to better spread love instead of otherness, to show a less conditional love than that of any state or religion

Seeing people flowing in any activity. Musicians, artist, scientist, mechanics, just seeing someone showing passion.

Discovering how this work and what last to the aurekav moments.

Photography. My skills with a camera keep me going when I otherwise feel like interaction won't get me anywhere in terms of day-to-day quality.

~Consuming Inspiro-Quench may lead to increased heart rate, jitteriness or restlessness. Some individuals have reported experiencing headaches, dizziness, and mild nausea shortly after intake. There's also a chance of dehydration and dry mouth, compelling users to maintain adequate hydration.
