New Rodeo loading…28all. Eya. *JD, JG* The Warm-Up: “Value Doesn’t Beg. Read that again. And again and again and again until you have one of the single most important relationships with yourself…Your value. Now, before we allow arrogance to come in, I also urge you to think about how much time, effort, energy, experience and money goes into creating your value. How long have you been on your game or craft? How many countless hours have you put in throughout time? Your value is part of your journey. It’s what you’ve hopefully cultivated and worked tirelessly on. DO NOT let others exploit, downplay or minimize your worth…” ~Matt Gottesman The Core: “Train yourself to see the awe beyond the obvious.” ~Rick Rubin “After crossing a river, you should get far away from it.” ~Sun Tzu, The Art of War “No asset will ever make you as much money as investing in yourself as THE asset.” ~Codie Sanchez “By being natural and sincere, one can often create revolutions without having sought them.” ~Christian Dior “Lying is a poor man’s sport. Imagine being able to speak truth and still have your way…that’s real power.” ~Aisha Marie “Flex from the people I admire the most: They do things they don’t like doing bc they realize it’s part of life. The flex: not complaining, ever.” ~Chris Powers “I haven’t met a long-distance runner that doesn’t crush it at life. I’m not convinced running 26 miles is healthy, but you can’t argue that it attracts total killers.” ~Nick Huber “You don’t get regularly angry because the world is unfair and you are a good person; you get regularly angry because you aren’t working on any meaningful goal, have too much free time, waste it away on unproductive emotions instead of building the life you want.” ~Orange Book “Risk’s greatest fuels are leverage, overconfidence, ego, and impatience. Its greatest enemies are having options, humility, and other people’s trust...Your lifetime results as an investor will be mostly determined by what you do during wild times.” ~Morgan Housel, When Things Get Wild “Sometimes you’ll get exactly what you prayed for and it will scare you, because once you have it in your hands, it’s under your control, and that level of responsibility can be overwhelming. So in all your prayers, pray for wisdom too, so you’ll know how to handle your blessings.” ~Kamesha “Being able to ask for help is a display of strength and confidence. It shows an understanding of your abilities and an awareness of what’s happening around you. People who refuse to ask for help, who believe they can handle everything on their own, are deceiving themselves and doing a disservice to those around them.” ~Will Guidara, Unreasonable Hospitality “To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.” ~Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection Last Set: “Was Baldwin really greater than Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, Richard Wright or perhaps a half-dozen other nationally celebrated black writers we could name? And what did ‘greatest’ mean, anyway? My response was to draw a parallel to comparisons of American presidents: Abraham Lincoln may or may not have been the most intelligent, most capable or most eloquent president the United States has ever seen, but he is generally considered the greatest, because his intelligence, capability and eloquence coincided with the hour when we needed those gifts most. So it is with Baldwin.” ~Clifford Thompson, James Baldwin at 100: The Writer America Needed Food For Thought: “Surround yourself with compounders. Compounders are people who focus on compounding knowledge, health, wealth, and deep relationships over decades. These friend are hard to find, but invaluable when you do. They will force you to level up your game. Conversations with these individuals are higher quality. Their success will inspire you to accomplish more. And you will get the added benefit of learning from your successful friends’ wins and losses along the way.” ~Anthony Pompliano, How to Live an Extraordinary Life
