Hide & Seek ~Stormzy on repeat…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *HW, AL* The Warm-Up: “Unexpected text messages from someone you missed or care about are the best kinda messages.” ~@WhoTFissim The Core: “Don’t think. Don’t overanalyze. Do the work.” ~Ryan Holiday “Let your friends show up for you. Don’t hide your wounds.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “We (truly) honor our parents by breaking generational trauma cycles.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera “Risk to us is (1) the risk of permanent loss of capital, or (2) the risk of inadequate return.” ~Charlie Munger “Sometimes we have to break agreements with others in order to keep the promises we made to ourselves.” ~Maryam Hasnaa “Cash is to a business as oxygen is to an individual: never thought about when it is present, the only thing in mind when it is absent.” ~Warren Buffett “Sometimes you say nothing, not because you have nothing to say, but because you know the people you are saying it to won’t receive it.” ~Keke Palmer “The ‘get shit done’ founder always beats the ‘perfectly planned strategy’ founder because speed is a startup’s biggest advantage.” ~Andrew Gazdecki “When you realize that business is less about selling a product and more about giving somebody a result, you’ll make way more money.” ~@IAmAaronWill “Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” ~Marcus Aurelius “People become more ambitious once they are in an environment that rewards individual efforts instead of rewarding people who play the victim.” ~Orange Book “Very few things can beat someone who consistently: Outworks everyone else; Goes positive and goes first; and Does what they said they were going to do.” ~Shane Parrish “When your competitor overspends on Sales & Marketing, you may want to thank them for using their resources to develop a bigger market opportunity for you.” ~Orland Bravo “It’s easy to meet new people. It’s much more challenging to build truly meaningful relationships. Treasure people with whom you feel an instant, genuine connection. They are not as common as you think.” ~Orange Book “Maturity is realizing when your mood is low and knowing that it will negatively impact your assessment of the people and things you encounter. Instead of making judgements when your mind feels turbulent, focus on moving slowly and not building unnecessary narratives.” ~Yung Pueblo “When people are hurting, our first instinct is to change their feelings. What often helps them more is validating their feelings. Sharing your perspective is less comforting than showing you understand their feelings. Emotions need to be recognized before they’re regulated.” ~Adam Grant “Intellectual Sparing Partners are a cheat code for life. These are the people with whom you share intellectual chemistry—you *enjoy* disagreements with them. They will call you on your BS, question your assumptions, and push you to think deeply. Find yours and cherish them.” ~Sahil Bloom “Rap is built to handle contradictions…But this is one of the things that makes rap at its best so human. It doesn’t force you to pretend to be only thing or another, to be a saint or a sinner. It recognizes that you can be true to yourself and still have unexpected dimensions and opposing ideas. Having a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other is the most common thing in the world. The real bullshit is when you act like you don’t have contradictions inside you, that you’re so dull and unimaginative that your mind never changes or wanders into strange, unexpected places.” ~Jay-Z, Decoded* Last Set: “I hope I’m not too late to set my demons straight | I know I made you wait, but how much can you take? | I hope you see the God in me, I hope you can see | And if it’s up, stay down for me, yeah…” ~Kendrick Lamar, Blxst & Amanda Reifer, Die Hard* Food For Thought: I had one of those conversations this week. You know, the ones that you continue grappling with long after it’s over, and for the best of reasons. I had finished a session with [one of] my executive coach[es] and I was energized afterwards. The revelations, the goosebumps, the insights, the candor. We out here just trying to get better. Nonetheless, it’s been used before, but this quote* came up during the session. So, sharing with yall :). “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles” :: We appreciate your readership.
