Bring others along and increase the time horizon…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *KO, JK* The Warm-Up: “When two givers indulge in a connection, it’s like magic. It’s alchemy. I water you, you water me, we never drain each other, we just grow.” ~Billy Chapata The Core: “Unlearn the need to over explain yourself. It’s all ego, let it go.” ~Billy Chapata “I started out just wanting to prove myself, now I want to improve myself—to see how good I can get.” ~Jean-Pierre Beugoms “The fundamental principle of human action is that men seek to gratify their desires with the least exertion.” ~Henry George “Lift people up. Pass along gigs. Say folks’ names in rooms that they aren’t in. Put people on when you can.” ~Brooklyn White-Grier “Your environment will eat your goals and plans for breakfast.” ~Steve Pavlina, Author of Personal Development for Smart People “Action comes about if and only if we find a discrepancy between what we are experiencing and what we want to experience.” ~Philip J. Runkel “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” ~Nelson Mandela “I’d go as far as to say that company culture is the only enduring, sustainable form of differentiation.” ~Frank Slootman, Chairman and CEO of Snowflake “One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes—and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt “Everyone wants to own their successes but owning your own failure is the only path to self-improvement. You can’t grow and you can’t ever get better if it is never your fault.” ~Garry Tan “My head knocks against the stars. My feet are on the hilltops…I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God…My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.” ~Carl Sandburg, My Name is Truth “Study the lives of all people who achieve outstanding success in any calling and observe, with profit, that their success is usually in exact ratio to their experiences of defeat before succeeding.” ~Napoleon Hill, Outwitting the Devil “Measure because it matters. Equity involves equal access to opportunities and career advancement. Producing more equitable outcomes is the result of intentionality as opposed to good intentions.” ~Shundrawn Thomas, Three Principles for Inclusive Leadership “Early in FB (2007). Early in [Golden State] Warriors (2011). Early in Bitcoin (2012). Early in AMZN (2014). Early in TSLA (2015). Early in SPACs (2017). What’s the pattern? Prioritize nonobvious, well-reasoned decisions that, if right, will refute conventional wisdom.” ~Chamath Palihapitiya “Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thing broadly, the human individual lives far within his limits. He possesses power of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.” ~William James “We favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt, and we let our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We laugh at people who still use Windows 95, yet we still cling to opinions that we formed in 1995. We listen to views that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard.” ~Adam Grant, Think Again Last Set: “Learning to love better…we all need work!...This message has nothing to do with romance and everything to do with growth, wanting to contribute more to everything I’m connected to…” ~Rob Hill Sr. Food for Thought: Thank you JK for continuing to share your time and wisdom! “Me: Hello God. God: Hello... Me: I’m falling apart. Can you put me back together? God: I’d rather not. Me: Why? God: Because you’re not a puzzle. Me: What about all the pieces of my life that fall to the ground? God: Leave them there for a while. They fell for a reason. Let them be there for a while and then decide if you need to take any of those pieces back. Me: You don’t understand! I’m breaking! God: No, you don’t understand. You’re transcending, evolving. What you feel are growing pains. You’re getting rid of the things and people in your life that are holding you back. The pieces are not falling down. The pieces are being put in place. Relax. Take a deep breath and let those things you no longer need fall down. Stop clinging to pieces that are no longer for you. Let them fall. Let them go. Me: Once I start doing that, what will I have left? God: Only the best pieces of yourself. Me: I’m afraid to change. God: I keep telling you: YOU’RE NOT CHANGING! YOU’RE BECOMING! Me: Becoming, Who? God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light, love, charity, hope, courage, joy, mercy, grace and compassion. I made you for so much more than those shallow pieces you decided to adorn yourself with and that you cling to with so much greed and fear. Let those things fall off you. I love you! Don’t change! Become! Don’t change! Become! Become who I want you to be, who I created. I’m gonna keep telling you this until you remember. Me: There goes another piece. God: Yes. Let it be like this. Me: So... I’m not broken? God: No, but you’re breaking the darkness, like dawn. It’s a new day. Become!! Become who you really are!!”
