The real flex is letting some people talk shit about the old you while you heal and evolve into the new you. #thelionlaw…Walk good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “You don’t have to yell from the rooftops who you are or what you do. Let time tell and just enjoy the moment.” ~Candance Parker, on letting time tell your story [Chicago Sky Championship post-game presser after their 80-74 win in Game 4; 50:58…] The Core: “Act in a way that makes time your friend, not your enemy.” ~Shane Parrish “No matter how much venture capital you raise, just remember nothing beats cash flow.” ~Aaron Levie “Saw a quote that said, ‘be the adult you needed as a child’ and it’s changed my whole perspective.” ~Anonymous “When a man’s worth is based on pleasing others—he will always feel guilty doing anything for himself.” ~Mr. Jason Wilson “You will ‘disappoint’ a lot of people during the process of becoming someone you love. Do it nevertheless.” ~Orange Book “When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow.” ~Carl Jung “If the problem can be solved, there is no reason to panic, calm down and fix it. If the problem can’t be solved, just move on.” ~Orange Book “Money is a river, not a reservoir. The purpose of having money is not just to have money. Money is a vehicle to get you where you want to go.” ~Kpaxs “Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happen the way it happens: then you will be happy.” ~Epictetus “Affirm: I allow my life to unfold naturally. What is meant for me will come my way effortlessly. I know that blessings will show up for me at the perfect time.” ~Vex King “Virtually all of the information you consume is through platforms that select heavily for entertainment value rather than usefulness or truthfulness.” ~Michael (@mmay3r) “Stop sharing news of your blessings with those who can’t celebrate you.

Act like you know because you do.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Yesterday someone said to me, ‘I would’ve never guessed you’ve been through what you have, you carry yourself so well.’ And that’s when I realized, it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you handle it.” ~Anonymous “Making shots in workouts is no longer good enough. [Steph Curry’s trainer says they consider non-swishes as missed shots in his workouts].” ~Steph Curry’s trainer Brandon Payne on Curry’s offseason workouts (via NBA.com) “Sometimes you have to remove things from your life to know if they’re important—this might be the most valuable lesson this pandemic taught us. It turns out most things aren’t as important as we thought, and some things are more important than we ever imagined.” ~Steven Bartlett “Things you will regret: 1) Allowing your potential to remain trapped behind stranger’s opinions. 2) Spending more time thinking about the past than living in the moment. 3) Time spent with people that don’t want the best for you. 4) Neglecting family. 5) Never taking risks.” ~Steven Bartlett “Authentic, never counterfeit / When it’s God-given and you elevated, all these satan [playas] want you down with them, yeah, yeah / Pray for ‘em, they embarassin’ / I stayed loyal like an old runners / OG checks, new balances, yeah, mm / New balances / Same old city, new balances, yeah / New balances / Way more checks, new balances, yeah…” ~Wale, New Balances “Told mе that I got it, said I been had it / She said, ‘I’ve been broken’, I said, ‘I been crackin’’ / Now I’m on a scеne, pocket full of green / First magazine, I was in Supreme / Y’all was in the bleachers, talking ‘bout sneakers / Ask your favorite rapper, who his favorite teacher / Who he tryna be, why I gotta B.S.? / I don’t gotta be liked but I’ma always be good / Ain’t gon’ always be right but know my loyalty good / Some [playas] quick to speak out but too [soft] to speak up…” ~Wale, Name Bell Ring Last Set: “Behind the scenes, making it takes a lot of quiet labor. Labor that doesn’t immediately pay you big money or get you anywhere, and no one knows about but you.
