“Show Me Something” ~J.Cole…28all. Eya. *WL* The Warm-Up: “Compete with yourself and root for everybody else.” ~Candice Millard The Core:
“You can’t pay bills with potential.” ~Dr. Eric Thomas “Respond from the center of the hurricane, rather than reacting from the chaos of the storm.” ~George Mumford “Know the difference between those who stay to feed the soil and those who come to grab the fruit.” ~Unknown “I wanna thank God for working way harder than Satan, He’s playing favorites, it feels amazing…” ~Drake, Elevate, Scorpion “I’m convinced so much of success is about being patient, persistent, and optimistic. Long term thinking is in short supply.” ~Keith Wasserman “May you have clarity to discern the difference between what looks good to you and what is actually good for you. Awaken. Shift.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Stick with the… —committed & consistent –disciplined & respectful –kind & loving…you’ll never be confused and you’ll always be elevated.” ~Matt Gottesman “It might be scary. It might be difficult. It might be inconvenient. It might be uncomfortable – but if it’s leading you towards your purpose, it’s worth the discomfort.” ~Michell C Clark “The quality of your long-term friendships is just a lagging indicator of what kind of person you are and how you treat people in general. You get the friends you deserve.” ~Orange Book “The greatest betrayal comes when you abandon yourself to go the extra mile for someone who wouldn’t even walk halfway for you. Return back home and rest your feet for a while; save your energy for people worth the trip.” ~Billy Chapata “The mystic sees the parts and feels the whole. The artist feels the parts and creates the whole. The engineer assembles the parts and crafts the whole. The scientist measures the parts and explains the whole. All search for the hidden likeness within things.” ~Naval Ravikant “The women players are kicking the men’s butts. You’ve got my Angel Reese. You’ve got all the girls from South Carolina. You’ve got JuJu Watkins, you’ve got Caitlin Clark. It’s just a better game, just more competitive.” ~Shaq, on the women’s NCAA tournament via People “Spend more time alone so you can ask yourself the hard questions about who you are, what you want and where you want to go in life. The more self-aware you become, the easier it will be to satisfy your needs and the more confident you’ll be in helping others along their journey.” ~Dan Schawbel “Everyone has personal struggles that they aren’t opening up about. You want to improve your relationships with others, expect less from them, and more from yourself. Ask how you can help. Be more supportive, kinder. Take the time to listen instead of judging. Be a better person.” ~Orange Book “I’m constantly fighting my bearishness about the world. One of the great hedge fund managers of all time, Bob Wilson, greatest short seller ever, said he made 90% of his money on the long side, the math just works against you. If you’re perfect on a short, you can double your money. But if you’re wrong on a short, you can lose 10 times your money. If you’re dead wrong on a long, you lose your money. But if you’re right, you can make 10 times your money. It’s a mathematical inverse of that with shorting. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist. I know, therefore, that if you have a bearish bias, you have to be very aware of it. You have to work around it. And I always have. ~Stanley Druckenmiller Last Set: “Too much focus on the success and not the sacrifice. You focusing too much on what you’re trying to obtain and not focusing enough on what it’s actually going to take to get it. Success doesn’t come without sacrifice. What have you sacrificed on your journey?” ~Dr. Eric Thomas Food For Thought: “What am I here for? / I’m a man so I cannot let them tears fall / But understand tryna get my head clear y’all / This [stuff] is on my mind / Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs / Show me something, uh / ‘Cause I’m tryna find something, uh / I’m lost, can you show me something?...” ~J. Cole, Show Me Something
