Furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *KO, CS, MM, LS* The Warm-Up: “Heal so you can hear what’s being said without the filter of your wounds. Heal so you can see what is before you beyond the blinders of your wounds.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis The Core: “The trajectory of your life bends in the direction of your habits.” ~James Clear “If it hurts to hear it, look for the truth in it. If it comforts to hear it, look for the lie in it.” ~Naval Ravikant “Consistency in thought is overrated. Consistency in friendship is underrated.” ~Shane Parrish “Friends are the people who show up when the risk is greater than the reward.” ~Ascendant Power “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” ~Proverbs 10:9 “Getting more out of the cognitive horsepower you already have is better than adding horsepower you’ll never use.” ~Shane Parrish “Your reputation may or may not be accurate. Others determine your reputation, but only you determine your integrity.” ~Tony Dungy “I hope you find someone who speaks your language, so you don’t have to spend a lifetime translating your spirit.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis “Practicing detachment is not about ignoring your feelings. It’s about making sure your temporary feelings do not affect your permanent decisions.” ~Sachin Sharma “The universe operates through dynamic exchange…in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.” ~Deepak Chopra “Unity requires accountability. Dehumanization always starts with word and ends with violence. Shame undermines accountability and corrodes empathy…” ~Brene Brown, On My Mind: Unlocking Us “If you don’t have money or skills, you must invest your time. If you don’t have time or money, you must invest your skills. If you don’t have skills or time, then you must invest money. Whatever state you are in, you must always be investing.” ~thelionlaw “Most of us yearn for more freedom, but structure is key to performance…If someone identifies what they really want, achieving it will almost always require some form of restriction, of encroachment on lesser freedoms.” ~Brad Stulberg, Why a Little Discipline Goes a Long Way “There is a language older by far and deeper than words. It is the language of bodies, of body on body, wind on snow, rain on trees, wave on stone. It is the language of dream, gesture, symbol, memory. We have forgotten this language. We do not even remember that it exists.” ~Derrick Jensen, A Language Older than Words “I got it, too, how good people can lose their way during life transitions. How they can behave in self-destructive ways until they master another pattern—should they ever choose another patter. In my life, I chose a different pattern from the one I was born into, so I would not replay my past trauma with anyone.” ~Michele Harper, The Beauty in Breaking “Love is not the sanitized, romanticized soliloquy / That smiles and tries to reconcile without accountability / ‘Cause justice is the motive, and that’s the thing that’s missin’ / That’s the sickness of the culture / The system that was keepin’ us from lovin’ how we supposed to / The secrets that we keep that keep us comfortable and closer / The silence in the church, when it was violence they would know of / It made us feel like Christ, he didn’t like us, didn’t know us / But this is the biggest lie the enemy done ever told us / I know he was the shoulder I could hold on like a toga / When others did me vulgar / I’m just lookin’ for closure, I know that love is righteous / Love is what is happenin’ when someone apologizes / Love is the day that the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes / Love is priceless, love is passion / God is loving on you, God is good and God is happenin’ / God still love ya, don’t believe me? Ask him…” ~Chance The Rapper, Who’s To Say Last Set: “What is worrying though is how many more of us feel afraid to talk to our own friends, our partners, our spouses, our colleagues, our family - of fear of being branded as ‘wrong-thinkers’. How are we supposed to understand each other if we’re living in constant fear of saying the ‘wrong’ thing?... I honestly struggle to see how shaming others (or shaming yourself) for having white skin is an essential part of fueling true social change. Surely this is regressive? It also sounds a little like the very thing we’ve spent years moving away from...A lot of what I’m seeing in the woke / critical social justice spaces is not about creating a better world, it seems to be about punishment and revenge…Most of us just want to help. We want to see change! In our personal lives, and in the world we exist in. This leaves us vulnerable to questionable ‘leaders’, influencers, and organizations who set themselves up so that you cannot question their practices or agenda.” ~Africa Brooke, An open letter: why I’m leaving the cult of wokeness Food for Thought: “Since quantitative information regarding the present is so readily available, success in the highly competitive field of investing is more likely to be the result of superior judgments about qualitative factors and future events.” ~Howard Marks, Something of Value “The fact that Howard Marks, a billionaire investor w/ a process honed over decades, can sit with his ~34yr old son and learn so much from him about the art he mastered speaks volumes about his humility, open mindedness and intellectual curiosity. Hallmarks of a great investor.” ~@FullySynergized
