Transmission 143: Mulligan

- - - - - GREETINGS, EARTHLING - - - - -

If no one has told you lately,
you’re doing great.
You’re trying, you’re showing up, and it matters.

Wherever you are right now,
whatever you’re carrying,
you’re not alone.
Someone out here is rooting for you.
(Yes, I mean me.)

- - - - - DAILY CALIBRATION - - - - -

Give yourself a mulligan today.

Not an excuse.
Not a free pass to abandon your goals.
Just a gentle reset.

Let yourself be human.
Let yourself wobble without shame.
Lead with love, not punishment.

Focus on the effort,
not the outcome.
Do the next right thing.
Even if yesterday wasn’t perfect.
Especially if it wasn’t.

You get to begin again.
And that beginning still counts.

- - - - - EARTH TREASURE - - - - -

A freshly cleared driveway.

Neat lines carved through white quiet.
Snow piled into soft mountains,
future forts waiting for small hands.

You did not want to go out there.
No Earthling ever does.
But you did.
And now the world in front of your home
looks calm again.

The funny thing is
it is already snowing again.
More work on the way.
Another round.
Another shovel.
Another quiet victory.

It is a perfect little metaphor
for the work you invest in yourself.

You put in the reps.
You feel proud.
And when life snows again,
you go back out
and clear it once more.

Not because it stays done.
But because you grow stronger
every time you do it.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.

Inspired by Stoic philosophy, Tao, Alan Watts, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.

If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.

If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.

Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
