Write down your goal in pen and your plan in pencil…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *PB, KO*

The Warm-Up: 

“My 1 repeated learning in life: ‘There Are No Adults.’ Everyone’s making it up as they go along. Figure it out yourself, and do it.” ~Naval Ravikant

The Core: 

“You can solve a lot of problems by simply reacting less.” ~Orange Book

“Regardless of your ambitions, get your finances in order first, hard to focus otherwise.” ~Orange Book

“I’m not trying to be the best at what I do. I’m trying to be the only one doing what I do.” ~Matthew Kobach

“Choose the non-emotional response to any given situation and see how much easier your life becomes.” ~Naval Ravikant

“Writing is the process by which you realize what you think and what you understand are two different things.” ~Shane Parrish

“I think about this mechanism often - slow, persistent, and disciplined effort - and how it can lead to incredible results.” ~Mai Ly, Lessons from the Sea

“Every time you have the courage to choose yourself, you silence the parts of you that are too comfortable wearing skin that does not belong to you.” ~Billy Chapata

“If you are working in fields like AI or web3 or VR right now, you are living through and creating important history. Enjoy it and keep notes. May victory be yours.” ~Sam Altman

“Perfectionism makes essential projects hard to start, self-doubt makes them hard to finish, and trying to do too much, too fast, makes it hard to sustain momentum.” ~Greg McKeown, Effortless

“Often the best decisions have no immediate payoff. The best choices tend to compound. Most of the benefits come at the end, not the beginning. The more patient you are, the bigger the payoff.” ~Shane Parrish

“The world is going to move faster and faster from here on. People and institutions who embrace this will be richly rewarded. People and institutions who do not or cannot are going to be challenged. Adaptability and speed have gone from valuable to critical.” ~Sam Altman

“My life strategy: *Have a clear vision and objectives. *Develop strong feedback systems to self-correct. *Run as many radical experiments as possible. *Outlier ideas are more likely to yield outlier outcomes. *Have no fear. Society’s change antibodies attack outlier ideas.” ~Mike Speiser

“Two insane unlocks. 1. Not caring (or managing) when others know you don’t know something. This lets you ask ‘dumb’ questions, which are often foundational ones. 2. Agreeing with colleagues that feedback isn’t criticism, it’s opportunity. This removes festering frustrations.” ~Patrick O’Shaughnessy

“You need to simply let your work speak for itself. When you’re present and in your creative, building mode working on your life and your skills, the distractions minimize, the outward approval goes away, and your confidence is an automatic byproduct of experience working within your talents. The reason confidence is quiet and insecurities are loud is because confidence figured out how things work and insecurities are actually a physical representation of what being uncomfortable with uncertainty looks like. Do the work and let it speak for you.” ~Matt Gottesman

Last Set:

“Stop rushing & getting upset because things aren’t happening on your timetable. When you figure out it’s not about you or your selfish schedule, you will understand the will of God. I want what God wants for me when he wants me to have it.” ~Deion Sanders

Food For Thought:

“Most things you envy look better from the outside, because everyone crafts a selected image of what they’re doing and they are. A lot of time you’re envious of someone specifically because that person has done a good job crafting the image of their life. But since they’re crafting the image, it’s not a complete view. There’s a filter. Skills are advertised, flaws are hidden. Instagram is full of beach vacation photos, not flight delay photos. Resumes highlight career wins but are silent on doubt and worry. Investing gurus are easy to elevate to mythical status because you don’t know them well enough to witness times when their decision-making process was ordinary, if not awful. The problem is that when you are keenly aware of your own struggles but blind to others’, it’s easy to assume you’re missing some skill or secret that others have. It’s a sure path to feeling inadequate.” ~Morgan Housel, Assured Misery

Food For Thought II:

“I realize that moreso each day I let go of the attributes that are not really who I am. As a result, I find a higher degree of responsibility and acceptance of experiences thus releasing from the internal resistance bringing me into a higher degree of purity of mind. I then identify with, fuse with what is authentic and true to me. I accept and integrate these aspects that are in relation to my authentic self. This deepens my connection with intuition in understanding and brings me and carries me through any challenges that occur to transmute them into opportunities. As a result, I live the philosophy, I become who I was destined to be in relation to my vision finding love and flow in all things. This brings me into deeper integration with the world within, the divine. As I realize the inner and outer world is one with each other.” ~Joseph Rodrigues, Affirmation Spiritual Alchemy
