The Warm-Up: 

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Core: 

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” ~Jim Elliot

“Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue!” ~Eugene O’Neill

“You can solve a lot of problems by being less impulsive and by not reacting.” ~Orange Book

“The step that comes before getting really good at anything is falling in love with the process.” ~Jack Altman

“What makes equality such a difficult business is we only want it with our superiors.” ~Henry Becque, French dramatist

“Do not use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think and to grow.” ~@ProfFeynman

“We can keep it at the day or you can be forever bae / But you know I don’t need no help / I can get a bag any place wherever / ‘Cause I’ma movement by myself / But we can be a force when we’re together…” ~Murda Beatz, Blxst & Wale, One Shot

“One real shortcut in life is working with the best in any field. Part of the reason this works is they have higher than average standards. The best won’t accept average, from themselves or you. In a lot of fields, going just one step further turns average into remarkable.” ~Shane Parrish

“ ‘Cause I’ve been through a lot this year (Through a lot) / You been through a lot this year (Through a lot) / When it come to the fights this year (To the fights) / Who really paid thе price this year? / I keep tryna fight thesе feels / Like sleep I don’t quite get here / I had to be right yeah, yeah…” ~6LACK, Rent Free

“Confidence in a forecast rises with the amount of information that goes into it. But the accuracy of the forecast stays the same. And when it comes to forecasting—as opposed to doing something—a lot of expertise is no better than a little expertise. And may even be worse.” ~Dean Williams, Trying Too Hard 

“In a real sense, all of life is interrelated. All persons are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I out to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

“God puts us in a world of passing things where everything changes and nothing remains the same. The only thing that doesn’t change is change itself. It’s a hard lesson to learn. It helps us appreciate that everything is a gift. We didn’t create it. We don’t deserve it. It will not last, but while we breathe it in, we can enjoy it, and know that it is another moment of God, another moment of life.” ~Richard Rohr

Last Set:

“ ‘Now brethren, I can’t give you greatness. And really, I can’t make you first.’ This is what Jesus said to James and John. ‘You must earn it. True greatness comes not by favoritism, but by fitness. And the right hand and the left are not mine to give, they belong to those who are prepared.’… ‘Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that’s all I want to say.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.; The Drum Major Instinct speech. Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta; February 4, 1968

Food For Thought:

“Every comment you make about the world, about another person, about an event, about life, is a projection of yourself and a clue to your interior landscape. The world and others simply reflect back to you what you are seeing, now what is there. It is as if wherever you look, there are only mirrors that show you pictures of yourself. You cannot love or hate something about another person or the world unless it is already inside of you first. The world gives you what you see. As you change, the world changes with you. The world is your autobiography.” ~A Yoga Instagram
