Someone rejecting you is the universe protecting you#@turtlebreezee…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *SW, LS, WH*

The Warm-Up: 

“You sabotage yourself slowly when you ask for signs but choose to ignore them. I hope you heal the parts of you that fear truth and has found comfort in illusion. I hope you heal the parts of you that feel unworthy because of the past. I hope you learn to validate your intuition.” ~Billy Chapata

The Core: 

“The most powerful productivity tool ever invented is simply the word ‘no’.” ~Shane Parrish

“If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people.” ~Virginia Woolf

“Pro-tip: Having millions of followers is fun but having an engaged audience pays the bills.” ~@Kudzi

“Problems shrink when you approach them and expand when you move away from them.” ~Shane Parrish

“Results are what happens when you consistently do what you should do not what you want to do.” ~Shane Parrish

“Writing will always be difficult because it’s the process of exploring the frontier of your mind, which will always be foggy.” ~David Perell

“Truth is you either gotta get the money up or the people up to impact change. The money move silently but is powerful so unless the people speak up we cooked.” ~Joe Holder

“Celebrate your independence from fake friendships, unhealthy relationships, and self-erasure. You’re showing up for yourself not perfectly but more authentically and that’s praiseworthy.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“A sage is not afraid of lack of knowledge: he is not afraid of hesitations, or hard work, but he is afraid of only one thing — to pretend to know the things which he does not know. You should study more to understand that you know little.” ~Michel de Montaigne

“It’s hard to change people’s values. It’s easier to appeal to the values they already hold. People shut down when you push your principles. They open up if you speak to theirs. Motivating others requires you to know—and care about—what matters to them.” ~Adam Grant

“Many people are not ready for their lucky break when it comes to them. Develop your skills. Study your craft. Save some money. Build a network before you need it. Lay the ground work. The prepared person is positioned to benefit from unexpected opportunities.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

“Having famous and influential people associated with a startup doesn’t magically transmute a lousy business into a good one. Investors or advisors on a cap table can’t infuse a company with product market fit by their very presence. Just as true in good times as bad times.” ~Dalton Caldwell

“You’re not lazy just because they’re moving faster than you—trust your natural rhythm. You’re not a failure just because they’re more accomplished than you—focus on your individual process. You’re not invisible just because they’re not listening—keep using your voice.” ~Michell C Clark

“From a young age an idea had been ingrained in her: seek security at all costs, keep moving up and up and up, bear the weight of your exhaustion, count your blessings, don’t complain, and never be a quitter. But what if when we start to really question whether this is how we want to spend our days, and ultimately our lives, we realize we already have our answer: no, not me.” ~Jenna Kutcher, how are you, Really

“The best thing I ever did for finding love had nothing to do with looking for another person. It had everything to do with looking within myself. Because I had spent the time alone understanding how I wanted to feel in a partnership, when I came across it, I knew it. My body said a wholehearted yes. This is it. Instead of looking for love, all I had to do was recognize it.” ~Sarah Wood, Present Value of Your Future Self

Last Set:

“Growth isn’t loud. It doesn’t flex. It doesn’t seek validation. It’s quiet, humble, and reassuring. Growth is looking yourself in the mirror, knowing you gave it all you got and congratulating yourself on another beautiful and blessed day.” ~Vex King

Food For Thought:

“Mamba Mentality: Learn to love the hate. Embrace it. Enjoy it. You earned it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone should have one about you. Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones.” ~Kobe Bryant
