“Intuition: When you don’t know how you know; but you know you know and you know you knew and that’s all you need to know.” #Anonymous…Walk good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “Everybody isn’t built to handle what you can. You have to learn to trust the process when others choose the short cut…To keep going for what’s yours…” ~Rob Hill Sr. The Core: “Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him.” ~Dr. Wayne W. Dyer “Learn to enjoy the season instead of trying to control, predict, or manipulate the next season.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “All your relationships get better the day you have the intelligence to question yourself instead of others.” ~Orange Book “Anxiety is a side effect of an overstimulated mind. Learning to do nothing is essential in order to find peace of mind.” ~Orange Book “They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.” ~Khalil Gibran “Studies have shown that 90% of error in thinking is due to error in perception. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotion and this can lead to new ideas. Logic will never change emotion or perception.” ~Edward de Bono (source) “A surprisingly effective way to get what you want is to not settle for less than what you want. It doesn’t always work—you can’t force the world to be a certain way—and you may need healthy doses of patience and doggedness, but your life bends toward what you accept.” ~James Clear “The way someone else perceives what you do is a result of their own experiences (which you can’t control), their own preferences (which you can’t predict), and their own expectations (which you don’t set). If your choices don’t match their expectations that is their concern, not yours.” ~James Clear “Freedom has a partner, and its name is responsibility. It’s easy to insist on all the things we should be free from. But then we realize that we also have the freedom to act, to lead and to confront our fear and our selfishness. Once we realize our own agency, freedom begins to feel like a responsibility. The freedom to make a difference.” ~Seth Godin, From/to “Consumers are like chickens. They are much more comfortable with a pecking order that everybody knows about and accepts…The time for extra effort is clearly when the situation is in doubt. When neither side has a clear superiority. Winning the battle for sales leadership in a single year will often clinch the victory for decades to come. It takes 110 percent of rated power for a jet to get its wheels off the ground. Yet when it reaches 30,000 feet, the pilot can throttle back to 70 percent of power and still cruise at 600 miles per hour.” ~Al Ries & Jack Trout, Positioning “I don’t always show my best self when I’m hurting, very few of us do. Still I know…Respect your friendships. Give the love you wish to receive. It’s work learning to respect people’s process, we all endure highs and lows at different scales. All good things grow differently. Don’t let a lack of endurance be what keeps your head down, it limits your view, look up and you’ll realize you don’t have to be stuck around things that drain you. And if you’re too tired to reach for better, don’t let it make you so jaded that you can’t receive anything new, see anything real, or feel free to love.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas. It is the night sea journey, the lone fisherman on a tropical sea with his nets, and you let these nets down…sometimes, something tears through them that leaves them in shreds and you just row for shore, and put your head under your bed and pray. At other times what slips through are the minutiae, the minnows of this ichthyological metaphor of idea chasing. But, sometimes, you can actually bring home something that is food, food for the human community that we can sustain ourselves on and go forward.” ~Terence McKenna (@_nitch) Last Set: “Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction, but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones…And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood…And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain.When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” ~Haruki Murakami Food for Thought: “People say to you, ‘you’ve changed’, or something like that, well, I hope, for the sake of God that you have changed, because I don’t want to be the same person all my life. I want to be growing, I want to be expanding. I want to be changing. Because animate things change, inanimate things don’t change. Dead things don’t change. And the heart should be alive, it should be changing, it should be moving, it should be growing, its knowledge should be expanding.” ~Shaykh Hamza Yusuf :: We appreciate your readership.
