Good to see the work working! Sip slowly, this is one of them MMLs that you may need to keep coming back to. 28all. Eya. *CM, JG, TH, PB, JQ, ET, NH* The Warm-Up: “Slow success builds character; fast success builds Ego.” ~Ratan Tata The Core:
“Time is not given. It is made.” ~Ryan Holiday “Change doesn’t wait for an invitation.” ~Stacey Abrams “Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” ~Finley Peter Dunne “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” ~Dr. Seuss “The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.” ~John Ruskin “Your biggest enemy is the version of yourself that is addicted to the comfort of not taking any risk.” ~Orange Book “God removed you from a table where you used to sit; in order to save you from a host who was serving you poison.” ~Anonymous “Anger always outlasts hurt. Best to take the opposite course. Would anyone think it normal to return a kick to a mule or a bite to a dog.” ~Seneca “Anytime you feel guilty about not meeting some sort of insane, unachievable demand, ask yourself, ‘Does this help me improve my relationship with my children? And does this help my community?’” ~Jessica Grier “Your creativity is a gift. It’s a good thing you don’t fit it. You feel deeply and see beneath the surface. You ignore the unspoken, unnecessary rules and color outside the lines. Your presence points to freedom.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “When I negotiate, I try to remember two key things: 1) both / all “sides” should win from the transaction, and 2) being willing to walk away from a deal that doesn’t accomplish #1 will help me close the right deal that comes along next.” ~Arlan Hamilton “Why is that? The new diet. The fundraising after a natural disaster. The relationship. The hype cycle of a new technology or the media frenzy around a hot new fad or candidate…It always feels like it will be different this time. It rarely is. If it’s going to be different, the forces involved need to be different as well.” ~Seth Godin, “This time will be different” “Society rewards hyper specialization, and people just follow the incentives: that’s how we ended up with people who can uncover the secrets of the universe but can’t figure out their own marriage, or people who are respected by all except their own kids, or people who teach others ‘how to be successful in life’ who are actually angry and depressed, or people who can solve the most complex problems but somehow cannot maintain a single long-term meaningful friendship with anyone. You may not become ‘the best’ if you have a well-balanced life, but at least, you will have a shot at sustainable peace of mind, and you may learn how to appreciate the people around you, and enjoy a bit of the rewards that you actually worked hard to earn, instead of living your whole life scared of missing out on the next big opportunity, instead of chasing the wrong goals and noticing, way too late, that they didn’t matter as much as you thought at the time when you were younger, when you thought you knew better, because you were simply surrounded by people who were as blind as you were.” ~Orange Book Last Set: “If you spend 18 mins a day on something over the course of a year you will be more skilled than 95 percent of people in the world at that thing.” ~Jesse Itzler Food For Thought: I got a call from a friend a few weeks ago – one of those calls. Out of the blue. He had recently met with someone that I connected him with. They were talking about me, and he hit me after the meeting, simply to pour into me. A few weeks later, we’re now in the think of something potentially game changing. Who knows how it’ll play out; regardless, it’s good to know when you got people out here fighting for you and with you, saying your name in rooms that you’re not in. He sent this text on Wed night – this is the type of energy we on! “Got your back. Keep it simple. This is our time. We don’t have next, we up.” ~NH Something for the Road: “There’s so much gratitude. I’m a living testimony. I give all glory to God. He works in mysterious ways…last year I was praying to be back at this stage. And he sent me trials and tribulations. But it was to build my character; it was to test my faith, to see if I was only believer in…But I just kept on believing. I did all I could so God can do all I can’t. And just so much joy and pride for this team. I’m so proud – we’re not even supposed to be here and here we are, a Godly miracle. And I’m just so proud I can’t even put in the words...you can overcome anything with God on your side with hard work on your side with the belief and a faith and just the perseverance, the resilience…” ~Paige Bueckers postgame speechafter defeating USC in the Women’s Elite 8
