You glow differently when your confidence is fueled by belief in yourself instead of validation from others #positivethoughtsvibe…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JM, JP, KW, PC* The Warm-Up: “Opportunities only look like obstacles without relevant education, training, or faith.” ~Anonymous The Core: “Friends that understand your anti-social phases are important.” ~@esstentialmastery “In the end, you win through superior craftsmanship, not marketing.” ~Robert Greene “If you’re going to bet on yourself, and know what you can do, don’t play small.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “They attack you when you just wanted to mind your own business, then act like they are the victim when you fight back.” ~Orange Book “The secret to effective results is turning acquired knowledge into default behavior. Habits, routines, and rules all turn knowledge into sustained action.” ~Shane Parrish “The ego sees value in that which is scarce. Money, Physical Beauty, Fame. The soul sees value in that which is abundant. Presence, Experience, Love.” ~Aubrey Marcus “Those wishing ill will towards those with differing opinions are as equally foolish as those who see virtue and nobility in people who think like them.” ~Jack Moore, Sunday morning run musings “You can brand anything to look a certain way…that’s what great design and positioning does. But your energy and authenticity ultimately dictates how the world feels from you.” ~Matt Gottesman “Reciprocity motivates me in relationships. I know it’s love from the way you follow up on what you say. Patience will show you if it’s real or not. The results are better when you don’t have to force mutual effort.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “When you get free, some will try to convince you to turn back. They want you to embrace and be grateful for a caged life. No, Beloved. It’s your season. Keep going. The sky is calling. Shake the dust off your wings.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Let the connections that have reached their sell by date fade away naturally, allow yourself to let go of what no longer serves you. Milk doesn’t change back to its natural state just by putting it back in the fridge once its expired.” ~Billy Chapata “Empowerment means: Seeing the potential of an individual. Saying encouraging, empowering words to that person. Sharing your power, position, and influence with that person. Showing others your belief in and power given to that person.” ~John C Maxwell “I wouldn’t have predicted in the 90’s, that one of the internet’s main uses would not be the diffusion of information, but the broadcasting of moral signals and emotion. The web is today more of an emotional machine than a computational machine.” ~Ceasar A. Hidalgo “Many people fail to benefit from constructive feedback because they overreact and undercorrect. When a helpful suggestion feels like a big threat to your ego, you only make small change to your habits. The best way to learn is to overcorrect. Discomfort is a sign of growth.” ~Adam Grant “There’s a mythology around people with famous resumes. Folks who have worked for brands we’ve heard of and on projects that have been successful. We give the benefit of the doubt to someone who did ‘app development at Slack’ or ‘sales at Google.’ But what this generally means is that they were patient and pretty good at going to meetings. Show us the code you wrote. Show us the difficult presentations you were able to produce. Most of all, show us the work you did when no one asked you to do the work. When you’re on your own, what is important enough to you to ship? We need teamwork. But we also need people who can master their tools and ship the work.” ~Seth Godin, Show Us Your Work Last Set: “Feeling anger, anxiety, or sadness is normal. Emotions are a healthy, unavoidable part of life. However, wallowing in your emotions is a choice. Feel your emotions, recognize them, then move on.” ~Mark Manson Food For Thought: “Linear games are won by working harder than others. And the harder other people work, the higher the bar. You need to work harder and harder, just to stay in the same relative position. Asymmetry is different. Even people who understand asymmetry consistently underestimate its power. Positive asymmetry happens when you have a lot of upside and little downside. Negative asymmetry is when you have little upside and high downside. Finding hidden or overlooked asymmetry is the key to an unstoppable advantage. And there is a lot of it hiding in plain sight… High trust people want to be around other high trust people. I’m trustworthy by default. And while some people have taken advantage of me, I still prefer my approach because there is no ceiling on what’s possible. The three largest business deals of my life have all been high-trust deals. A low trust approach might put a floor on how often you get taken advantage of, but it puts a ceiling on what’s possible.” ~Shane Parrish, Tiny Thought from Brain Food #462 Extra Protein: I received a text from a good friend on Sat night: “PC just gave you a shout in his father of the bride speech…quoted something from his ‘favorite newsletter.’” Now, I don’t want to assume things re: the MML, but that text made my night! And in a very human sort of way continues to inspire me; you never know who’s reading, who’s watching, or who you’re touching. But just keep doing your thing and it’ll all work out how it’s supposed to, someone will connect the dots. Today, I encourage you to reach out to someone that you haven’t spoken to in a while just to check in. You may even want to read them your favorite quote from [hopefully one of] your favorite newsletter[s]. Go get’em this week! :: We appreciate your readership. You can learn more about the MML here. To the extent someone felt compelled to spread the love and this was forwarded to you, you can sign up for the newsletter here.
