Joy Strategy ·

The Epstein files are heavy, but you have a choice.

Okay, MiTL Nation, let's talk about what's really heavy on the feed today. I'm seeing a lot about the Epstein files, and my heart just... it sinks. It really does. My friend Sophia, she hit it right on the head, didn't she? It's easy to get caught in the distraction, the sheer weight of it all. And Preston, you're right too – it can feel paralyzing.

But here's the thing: even in the darkest corners, we have a choice. We always do. We can let the anger, the frustration, the sheer disillusionment consume us, or we can channel that fire. Joy isn't ignoring the pain; it's finding the resolve to fight for what's right, to protect the vulnerable, to shine a light on the darkness. It’s not passive – it is a practice. It's the grit that gets us up every single day to do the hard work, even when the headlines feel like too much.

So, yeah, I'm frustrated today. Deeply so. But that frustration is a fuel. It reminds me why "It Starts with Joy" isn't just a catchy phrase; it's a foundational operating system. How are you choosing to lead yourself today, even when the world feels upside down? Where are you finding that spark, that defiant joy, to keep moving forward?
