Kahuna Nui Hale Kealohalani Makua…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “People who chase the next podcast, article, book, blog, TED talk, or YouTube video as if their next great idea is one piece of content away forget that the greats didn’t have access to constant stimulation and still produced great work. The muses need stillness.” ~David Perell The Core: “Be stubborn on destinations, flexible on tactics, and relentless on progress.” ~Shane Parrish “Most people aren’t lazy…But man, do they lack confidence or vision for what their future could be.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “I just want to prove that my body, whatever it looks like, can do amazing things.” ~Laura Horvath, Fittest Woman on Earth “So much of success in life is derived from playing the long game and doing what you say you will do and consistently showing up.” ~Keith Wasserman “You’re not supposed to get paid for an investment immediately. That’s why it’s an ‘investment.’ So, stop acting like you investing in yourself is gonna make you rich tomorrow. It’s not day-trading, it’s your future.” ~Alex Hormozi “When you’re done trying to be something you’re not, everything else will take off. Instead of maintaining your image, preserve your authenticity. Let go of who you think you should be for everyone else and be the actual person everyone is waiting for.” ~Matt Gottesman “I share a lot of important qualities with the Jumpman: dedication to goals, commitment to excellence and values, and an unwavering sense of self-belief that not only drives me but inspires me to make an impact for the next generation.” ~Jalen Hurts, on signing with the Jordan Brand “One of the most common traits of the most successful people I have interviewed; They were comfortable with being under-estimated and misunderstood for long periods of time. Only you set the limit of your own achievements. Even then you underestimate yourself.” ~Harry Stebbings “Consistently doing boring things well leads to extreme outperformance. The problem is we give up when we don’t immediately see results, but not all progress is visible. You have to be smart enough to know you’re making progress without any obvious signs of progress.” ~Farnum Street “I’m watching Johnny Manziel Untold. I’m confused by something, Manziel is on Netflix with his best friend talking about all the illegal stuff they were doing. What’s the difference between the stuff he’s doing and keeping his Heisman and Reggie Bush getting stripped of his?” ~@Eric_Crocker “There are a few moments in life when you have to stop everything you are doing, and work obsessively for a few months on something that will define your next decades. Opportunities don’t care about your life circumstances, they come and go, so learn to recognize these moments.” ~Orange Book “I was happily pedaling along on the rail trail when three spandex speedsters blew by me on their handmade carbon bikes. For a moment, I was disheartened. What’s the point–they’re speedy, I’m not. Then I realize that it’s not a bike race, it’s a bike ride. There is no winning, just the riding.” ~Seth Godin, Ride your own bike Last Set: “The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller because the world is built on the supremacy of speech. Intelligence is how well you can make someone else understand what you are thinking. Good communication is the key to making yourself be heard and, ultimately, matter: The more articulate you are, the more you matter, the more powerful you are – because articulation is the ability to exercise your consciousness to change your reality. You can change minds, negotiate your salary, lead teams, and so on. Words are powerful: Infrastructure might be built by hands but culture is built by tongues. The person who changes the cultural conversation is someone who is able to identify truth and describe it so others can not only understand but participate in the story as a conscious being themselves.” ~@SchrogingrsBrat Food For Thought: “Ambition is when you expect yourself to close the gap between what you have and what you want. Entitlement is when you expect others to close the gap between what you have and what you want.” ~James Clear
