Passions aren’t found – they emerge. #StartupOfYou…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *PH* The Warm-Up: “They are scared of women like you. Women with hearts big enough to house suitcases full of pain. Women with laughs so therapeutic they can heal wounds. Women with passion fierce enough to start wildfires. They are scared of what they can’t tame or understand.” ~Billy Chapata The Core: “ ‘Your work will speak for itself.’ Yes, true. AND you also need to amplify & promote your work.” ~Isa Watson “We want to find people who appreciate our authenticity, not those who love our mask.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “A sign of growth: your past self would have panicked, but your current self is calmly tackling the problem.” ~Orange Book “The advice I would give a young adult just starting into their career, is to not look for jobs, look for missions to go on.” ~Nait Jones “The average person who puts themselves in a great position beats the genius who finds themselves in a poor position.” ~Shane Parrish “The heartbreak you feel – the grief, the loss, the hurt, disappointment, rejection—is bringing you to the precipice of your breakthrough. Stay the course.” ~Joel Leon “Honesty is a core, core, core value. By honesty, I mean I want to be able to just be me. I never want to be in an environment or around people where I have to watch what I say.” ~Naval Ravikant “The person who gets 1 shot needs everything to go right. The person who gets 1000 shots is going to score at some point. Find a way to play the game that ensures you get a lot of shots.” ~James Clear “Unfocused Obsession is a mess. Focused Obsession is a cheat code. Obsess over the right things, take action on them, and you’ll never have to worry about your career or business again…” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” ~Maya Angelou “Maturity is keeping your personal life private, minding your own business, and letting people who you’ve outgrown talk shit about the old you while you continue working on yourself and evolving into the new you.” ~@MindTendencies2 “You have to stop offering yourself and the depths of your story to people who haven’t shown you respect. If they don’t have the capacity to see you, they shouldn’t get access to what’s beautifully hidden behind your scars.” ~Nate Postlethwait “Gratitude is the greatest motivator. Realizing that you stand on the shoulders of giants, that everything you have now was fought and labored for by those who came before you and had way less than you. Nothing gets me going like a deep appreciation for collective prosperity.” ~Schrodinger’s Brat “There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame.” ~Jack London, The Call of the Wild “Particularly when it comes to the future. And perhaps about the past. More often than not, we find ourselves in situations where we don’t know. Where we can’t know. That’s a given. The open question is how often we claim that stance. If it feels uncomfortable or awkward to acknowledge that we don’t know, we’re pretty certain to lose trust, waste confidence and find ourselves in a jam now and then. Not knowing is going to happen. Acknowledging it is a sign of confidence and awareness. Finding leaders who have this skill is worth the effort.” ~Seth Godin, “I don’t know” Last Set: “If you ask a lot of incredible successful people if they could have predicted where they’d be, most will say they could never have seen the *exact* future…but they knew they would figure it out. They didn’t need to know the details, and that doesn’t stop them. Just Go.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner Food For Thought: “You got people getting up at 6am doing 12-hour shifts. Those guys are tired. For us, we’re playing a game…We gotta keep that in perspective.” ~Josh Hart on fatigue
