Once a runner. 28all. Eya. *JQ, PB, CM* The Warm-Up: “Change that ignores the heart will seldom transform the life. For a while it may seem like the real thing, but it will prove temporary and cosmetic.” ~Paul David Tripp The Core: “The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.” ~Thomas Merton “The expectation is greater than the appreciation, and that’s the problem.” ~Dabo Sweeney “If you saw the size of the blessing coming, you would understand the magnitude of the battle you are fighting.” ~Michele Jennae “I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given. I believed in myself, and I believe in the goodness of others.” ~Muhammad Ali “Authenticity isn’t always appreciated. That doesn’t mean you change to be liked more. It means you stand tall so others know that they can too.” ~Samantha King “If you are not ready for any sacrifice, any trade-off, any risk, it means you don’t want it enough, and life rarely rewards people who lack drive and ambition.” ~Orange Book “The thing about limitations is that they are only true as long as you believe in them. So, instead of believing in your limitations, start believing in yourself.” ~Jay Shetty “Destiny is not for the comfort seekers. Destiny is for the daring and determined who are willing to endure some discomfort, delay gratification, and go where destiny leads.” ~T. D. Jakes “Most people don’t want to be part of the process; they just want to be part of the outcome. But the process is where you figure out who’s worth being part of the outcome.” ~Carey Lohrenz “A deep conversation with another clear thinker is always time well spent. It clarifies what you want from life, it keeps you bold and driven, it gives you better ambitions, better goals.” ~Orange Book “Intelligence does not care about logos. The smartest people you meet (often also the richest) do not wear it on their sleeve. Confidence and intelligence wear better. Intelligent people judge based on content, not your wrapper.” ~Codie Sanchez “If you want to build a large business & achieve significant success, you should treat the sport of business the same way a professional athlete would. Hard work. Obsession with the craft. Studying the greats. Getting reps. The formula works for both athletes & entrepreneurs.” ~Anthony Pompliano Last Set: “Perhaps the primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid; the state of being alone. That all men are, when the chips are down, alone, is a banality — a banality because it is very frequently stated, but very rarely, on the evidence, believed. Most of us are not compelled to linger with the knowledge of our aloneness, for it is a knowledge that can paralyze all action in this world. There are, forever, swamps to be drained, cities to be created, mines to be exploited, children to be fed. None of these things can be done alone. But the conquest of the physical world is not man’s only duty. He is also enjoined to conquer the great wilderness of himself. The precise role of the artist, then, is to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through that vast forest, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.” ~James Baldwin Food For Thought: “[I] came to this profound realization that on the other side of fear is God. We must step into the things that scare us to get closer to him because fear is not of God.” ~Christian M
