“The Universe shows me how people really are and I be like ‘no they not’ and the Universe be like ‘okay, let me show you again.’…dummy.” @the_higher_self_. Walk Good. 28all. Eya.

The Warm-Up: 

“Yes, hurt people might hurt others. But fortunately, free people free others. Safe people shelter others. Enlightened people illuminate others. And love always wins.”  ~Vex King

The Core: 

“It has always been about FCF. Now everyone finally believes it.” ~Orlando Bravo

“It happened the way it did so it can bring you exactly what you prayed for.” ~Idil Ahmed

“The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.” ~Carl Jung

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ~Socrates

“My partner Charlie Munger says there is only three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies, and leverage.” ~Warren Buffet

“If those trying to block you applied a fraction of that energy to building, they would be amazed by the results.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“That broken thing you keep trying to put back together, cant even compare with that beautiful thing that’s waiting to be built.” ~Stephan Labossiere

“It takes more time than you think, don’t be too hard with yourself. Put in daily work, focus on the long-term vision, don’t forget to enjoy yourself.” ~Orange Book

“Some people are always going to find a way to criticize you whether you win or lose, so you might as well do the things that make you happy and fulfill you.” ~Arlan Hamilton

“Being nice to people is the easiest career competitive advantage… Good marketing wins in the short run and good products win in the long run.” ~Morgan Housel, A Few Beliefs

“The Effort Paradox. You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless. Effortless, elegant performances are simply the result of a large volume of consistent, effortful, gritty practice. Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.” ~Sahil Bloom

“Trust every redirection, the abrupt shifts in the wind. Trust what doesn’t work out, and what finds ways to feed you consistently. Trust exactly where you are right now, but know that there is also nothing wrong with wanting more for yourself. The right routes will find you.” ~Billy Chapata

“Scared? Not me. Not at all. I’ll tell you why. This correction is mathematical. Valuations are rationalizing & mean reverting for transparent reasons. This isnt a pandemic where we have no idea what will happen, nor are 100yr old banks collapsing. Normal part of the cycle.” ~Jenny VL Harrington

“I reward inconsistency with my absence because one thing I’m not going to do is pretend that that’s the level of treatment I’m willing to accept. If your incapable of putting out the same level of effort then I will remove myself because acting like you care one day and not the next, is not for me.” ~Khara Moore

Last Set:

“Being inexperienced and willing to learn is better than being experienced and thinking you know it all. Dedicate the 1st hour of every morning to your ideal future. Let time bridge the gap. People will spend 5 days worrying about a task that takes them 5 minutes to complete. Just f**cking do the thing. Solve problems like an engineer. Discipline yourself like an athlete. Nurture your soul like an artist. Make money like an entrepreneur. Piece together the puzzle of success. Don’t focus on reading an entire book, focus on 10 pages a day. Don’t focus on losing 40 pounds, focus on getting your car to the gym. Goals are easy to bust through when deconstructed into small actions and habits. When your gut tells you to drop everything to go all in on learning and building, listen to it.” ~Dan Koe

Food For Thought:

“ ‘…somebody else will.’ This is a great excuse for racing to the bottom. Corporations with power go ahead and take advantage of customers. ‘Well, if we don’t do it, a competitor will.’ The public markets don’t require companies to throw out their principles to succeed. In fact, they reward companies that do the opposite. People exploit vulnerabilities in systems, or cut a little close to one edge or another. Because, after all, it’s a competitive world, and if they don’t, someone else will. Not really. Human culture has a long history of standards being set by people who refuse this line of reasoning. And as a result of these standards, somebody else doesn’t.” ~Seth Godin
