Everyone buys books, few ever read them. Everyone wants growth, few accept pain. Everyone wants to be happier, few ever change. Intention is nothing without action, but action is nothing without intention #Alexlovesbooks…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “Write, paint, code, make videos, record podcasts, do it because it allows you to grow as a person. It’s not meaningless just because someone, or some AI, is better than you at it. As long as you enjoy the process, it’s already time well-spent. Don’t take yourself too seriously.” ~Orange Book The Core: “Self-confidence is the strength to focus on what’s right instead of who’s right. Outcome over ego.” ~Shane Parrish “Be quiet, work hard, and stay healthy. It’s not ambition or skill that is going to set you apart but sanity.” ~Ryan Holiday “The best revenge is none. Move on and heal so you don’t become like the people that traumatized you.” ~@_Pammy_DS_ “There is no ‘safe job.’ Keep learning, adjust your life trajectory as you go, and take responsibility for your decisions.” ~Orange Book “Moving slow and intentionally is revolutionary in an overly fast world. Take all the time you need my love. They’ll adjust.” ~@thesoleromero “When you see yourself clearly, it will be easier to release what doesn’t align. Insecurity has you trying to stuff your wings into a cocoon.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Business is the activity you engage in to monetize your specific knowledge. It is not something to be studied and pursued in and of itself.” ~Naval Ravikant “There are three types of people in the world: 1. Those who make things happen. 2. Those who watch things happen. 3. Those who ask, ‘Wait, what happened?’” ~Mark Manson “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” ~Thomas Sowell “The internet is wonderful, and I’m not a ‘doomer boomer’ but it will serve you well to make an effort to reclaim back much of the territory these devices have taken over the real estate that is your mind. Use them don’t let them use you.” ~Joe Holder “World wants you focused on what you CAN’T control. What can you control? Hours worked. Focus. Costs. Decisions made. Reactions. Working out. Eating clean. Silencing notifications. Books read. Ideas written. Actions taken.” ~Codie Sanchez “The more you write, the more ideas you have. The more you move, the more energy you have. The more you rest, the more time you have. Results demand momentum. Progress disappears when you hide in your head to avoid engaging with reality.” ~Dan Koe “Eat good food. Go for a walk. Sit in a park. Put your phone down. Chat with a friend in real life. Read a book just for the sake of. Or perhaps *gasp* simply just do nothing. The best ideas and moments often come when we allow the space for it to happen.” ~Joe Holder “Time always exposes what you mean to someone. They can’t fake it forever. The mask will fall off. Don’t despair. The Universe has a way of exposing such people. Pay attention to the signs. Notice the patterns, and believe time. Sometimes, it is exactly what it looks like.” ~@TheOracleReadsU “Controlling your behavior amid uncertainty can be hard enough. Controlling your reactions to other people’s behavior is way harder. Fear is more contagious than any virus, and can instantly push people to react in ways that would have seemed unthinkable a moment prior.” ~Morgan Housel, All Together Now Last Set: “This new level of your life will require you to move with more intention to unlock it, it will require you revealing layers within you that you’ve hidden to finally see yourself fully, it will require you letting go of who you were by stepping into the power of who you are now.” ~Billy Chapata Food For Thought: “Exposure is one of the most important building blocks of success, and if you’re already doing well, exposure is a cheat code to more of it. Exposure to different people, experiences, mindsets and unlocks. It expands you. But where do you get it? You can get it in person. Going to events, conferences, and being in those rooms…Have conversations, learn from others, level up.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner Food For Thought II: “Beliefs take effort and investment, and it hurts to realize that there may be limited ROI on your hard-fought convictions. For a lot of things in life – particularly politics, investing, and relationships – people don’t necessarily want the truth; they want certainty. Changing your mind is hard because it’s an admission that the certainty you once thought you held was an illusion. The path of least resistance is to cling to beliefs for dear life.” ~Morgan Housel, Mental Liquidity
