I’m trying to celebrate your rhythm and your blues. #TheFutureBrunch…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JG, JD, SB, MM* The Warm-Up: “The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” ~Paulo Coelho The Core: “Where is the knowledge we have lost in information.” ~T.S. Eliot “Forgive your enemy but keep your blacklist updated.” ~Paulo Coelho “People who was raised on love see the world differently from people raised on survival.” ~Tupac “Long-term thinkers get criticized in the short-term. Short-term thinkers get crushed in the long-term.” ~Ryan Breslow “A sincere apology is not just a phrase, it’s an energy, mindset, and behavior shift too. That’s how you’ll know.” ~Lalah Delia “No one can give you permission to create the future you want. Go build. Believe in yourself. Make it happen. Tune out anyone who tells you different.” ~Brandon Brooks “May you not overlook the moments where your life reflects your dreams. Don’t hurry past it. Breathe it in. Taste it. This is what answered prayers feel like. And so it is.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Sometimes people’s negativity toward you is not actually about you. Their insecurities and unfulfilling lives can make it hard for them to see you shining. Be gracious. Hopefully in time they will discover their radiance.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “You’ll find that education’s about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it’s about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he’s willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw-driver lost.” ~George Horace Lorimer “Too many people focus on strategy. Not enough people focus on intensity. Most of the time if you turn up the intensity, it will far outweigh a shift in strategy. Most don’t do this because strategy is sexy and feels important. Upping the intensity is uncomfortable.” ~Romeen Sheth “Plan to ask for help, but you don’t necessarily need to follow through. Preparing to ask for help causes you to frame your questions clearly and concisely. Doing that is often enough to spark your thinking and get you over whatever barrier is making it hard to get started.” ~Kpaxs “We often think of choice as a thing. But a choice is not a thing. Our options may be things, but a choice—a choice is an action. It is not just something we have but something we do. This experience brought me to the liberating realization that while we may not always have control over our options, we always have control over how we choose among them.” ~Greg McKeown, Essentialism “It’s called the Rule of Thirds. When you’re chasing a big goal, you’re supposed to feel good a third of the time, okay a third of the time, and crappy a third of the time. If the ratio is off and you feel good all the time, then you’re not pushing yourself enough. Likewise, if you feel bad all the time, then you might be fatigued and need to dial things back.” -Alexi Pappas, Bravey: Essays on Chasing a Big Life “Be willing to relearn yourself as you grow. Change is a beautiful thing to welcome. Be brave enough to live beyond what’s familiar. It’s time to pivot, there’s no need for you to be stuck. Be willing to step boldly towards a new direction you haven’t tried before, and you may find clarity. It’s dangerous to be unsure of your own value. Stop believing you lack what you need and begin reevaluating what you believe you have. Focus on using your skills to your advantage. Sometimes you have to take a step back and do a self-check. We all have some growing to do. It’s okay to rework the plan.” ~Rob Hill Sr. Last Set: “Your enemies win by making you think you are alone.” ~Star Wars *Note* Longer version: “First Order wins by making us think we’re alone. We’re not alone. Good people will fight if we lead them. Leia never gave up. And neither will we. We’re gonna show them we’re not afraid. What our mothers and fathers fought for, we will not let die. Not today. Today, we make our last stand. For the galaxy. For Leia. For everyone we’ve lost.” ~Poe Dameron, Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker Food For Thought: “Now, can I get a encore? Do you want more? / Cookin’ raw with the Brooklyn boy / So for one last time I need y’all to roar / Now what the hell are you waitin’ for? / After me, there shall be no more / So for one last time, [Tampa], make some noise!” ~Jay-Z, Encore “These past two months I have realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. Without them, none of this is possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. We have unfinished business. LFG.” ~Tom Brady… :: We appreciate your readership. You can learn more about the MML here.
