Spatial awareness…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *JD, BB, TH* The Warm-Up: “Everything good is a discipline, including love. Convenience has been marketed as ‘sexy’ and discipline as ‘boring.’ The reverse is true…I’d rather work for everything good than bypass the process. The work reveals a life, the bypass takes it away. Discipline is ‘hard’ in the beginning cause ‘easy’ has been marketed so well. And ‘easy’ only works for so long before it becomes the hardest life you’ll ever face…Do ‘hard’ things well long enough to see how ‘sexy’ the results of your path can be.” ~Matt Gottesman The Core: “Misery might love company, but so does joy. And joy throws much better parties.” ~Bill Ivey “Praying for the discernment to distinguish opportunities from distractions.” ~Michell C. Clark “Reading is more efficient when at rest. Audio is more efficient when in motion.” ~Naval Ravikant “Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you.” ~Aldous Huxley “The more I learn about money, the more I realize most of us play with Legos while the really rich play chess.” ~Codie Sanchez “When you ask for a slide deck, the hottest thing a founder can do is say I don’t have one, send a single chart and say wires are due in 48 hours.” ~Nikita Bier “A lot of people would make more money if they took all the time they spend making content about stuff they haven’t done…and just did more money making stuff.” ~Alex Hormozi “One way to mess up a good thing is to try and increase the pace of its outcomes. Working out for 15 hours a day won’t make you healthier; it will get you injured. A lack of patience changes the outcomes.” ~Farnum Street “Heard from VC LPs this week; ‘We are seeing deal activity pick up pretty dramatically across the board and expect a wall of capital call activity coming in Q4. Without any distributions, you will likely see a lot of LP-driven secondaries to fund the capital calls.” ~Meghan Reynolds “Best thing about the Internet: You can go from broke, no connections, no friend, no health, no skill, no purpose and within five to ten years, with self-discipline and a strong desire to become a better person learn everything you needed to live a wealthy, healthy, happy life.” ~Orange Book “I’m pretty sure that what really attracts and retains top people is, first off, simply being treated like adults. If you’re hiring top talent, there’s really no need to saddle them down with a stack of rules and policies to make sure they do their job well. They’re pros, so give them the flexibility and responsibility to work however they work best. On this count, they probably know better than you.” ~Marc Randolph Last Set: “Your relationships will rarely be healthier than your self-esteem. If the time you spend alone is already enjoyable to some degree—that is, if you have a healthy internal monologue and generally feel good about yourself—then you will have a fairly high bar for the type of relationships you’ll enter. But if you’re unhappy with yourself, then you are more likely to put up with bad relationships because they may occasionally make you feel better than you do alone. If you want a great relationship, the first thing you want is to be comfortable with yourself.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 Food For Thought: “Look around and ask yourself: Who’s on my team? If you don’t know, then we have some important work to do, and you’re missing out on one of the most powerful performance-enhancing tools available. Another question I’d invite you to ask yourself: Are you up to something big enough that warrants a team? Not everybody is. And if you’re up to something that can be done only by you, then your life is too small. Full stop. You are not made to be a part of something that can be done only by you. I want to invite you to broaden your vision about what is possible…You know the old saying: ‘What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?’ This might be a good place to start. This question creates a freedom to play and say seemingly ridiculous things. But as I reflect on the choices I’ve made over the last twenty years of my career, I realize my best moments weren’t spent living the answer to that question, but a better question. For years now I’ve been asking myself the question, ‘What would you do if you knew that you would fail, but you’d do it anyway?’ The first question is about freedom from failure. The second question is about freedom to transcend failure. The first question is about certainty. The second question is about passion. Both are helpful in deciding which future you want to be your filter.” ~Jason Jaggard, Beyond High Performance Food For Thought II: “Rooted in substance, not flash...the Cinderella story is over. They’re fighting for clicks; we’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference. This game ain’t gonna be played in Hollywood, it’s gonna be played on the grass.” ~Dan Lanning, Oregon Football Coach in his pregame pep talk before playing Colorado [“This speech is fair game IMO. But the ‘substance not flash’ part is funny because Oregon has 500 different uniform combinations & is currently wearing cleats that change colors due to your body temperature, yet Colorado is the only team on the field with a National Championship.” ~Joe Pompliano] “We got our ass whooped…Good stuff Oregon. We’ll NEVER let a loss make us forget who we are. We still gone turn up & we still gone do it our way. So rejoice & take advantage of us while we in this position—I expect nothing less. Just Remember, We gone get up.” ~Deion Sanders Jr. “Calling Coach Prime a fraud based on one game, his fourth game after taking over a 1-11 program, is such a thirsty level of hate and stupidity that it isn’t worth legitimizing.” ~Nait Jones
