The difference that makes a difference…28all. Eya. *JG* The Warm-Up: “The years teach much that the days never know.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson The Core: “The best self-help book is your journal.” ~Codie Sanchez “Impressions are easy, revenue is harder, and profit is hardest.” ~Justin Welsh “You don’t need more mentors. You need to get better are listening to yourself.” ~Sahil Bloom “The best things in life are free, but you appreciate them much more once you no longer have to worry about money.” ~Orange Book “People are afraid of disappointing others, when they should be far more afraid of disappointing themselves.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “A woman whose mood improves with a book, a poem, a song or a cup of coffee is not defeated by anyone; even life loses with her.” ~Kahlil Gibran “I’m trusting God to cleanse and remove things as needed. If it can be restored, it will be. If it should be cleared away, let it leave.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “The riskiest moment is when you’re right. That’s when you’re in the most trouble, because you tend to overstay the good decisions.” ~Peter Bernstein “If you’re willing to work exceptionally hard, get rejected, and live below your means for three years…you can beat just about everyone.” ~Alex Hormozi “Knowledge, experience, and theory have limitations: no amount of thinking in advance can prepare you for the chaos of life, for the infinite possibilities of the moment.” ~Robert Greene “Life gets better when you realize you don’t have to react to everything you disagree with, because you realize that you are probably wrong about 99% of the things you believe.” ~Dan Koe “To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.” ~Tom Brady, Patriots HOF Ceremony “Communication can heal everything but so many people struggle with it because they weren’t taught how to navigate healthy but uncomfortable communication. Once you learn it for yourself, your whole world changes.” ~Nika Sole “A startup is a treasure hunt for a true but untapped behavior. The quality of the product is the quality of the search. Sometimes you didn’t look in the right place; sometimes you’re chasing a mirage. Almost all startups fail. But who comes out on the other side does not.” ~Naval Ravikant “Rockefeller’s job wasn’t to drill wells, load trains, or move barrels. It was to make good decisions. And making decisions requires, more than anything, quiet time alone in your own head to think a problem through. Rockefeller’s product – his deliverable – wasn’t what he did with this hands, or even his words. It was what he figured out inside his head. So that’s where he spent most of his time and energy.” ~Morgan Housel, Lazy Work, Good Work “I was bored a lot, but you know what? I actually enjoyed it. Being bored forces you to think and to ‘be in your own head’, which are both incredibly refreshing. As a friend reminded me, our generation used to be bored all the time as kids, especially during things like long car rides and you know what we did? We invented and created ways to entertain ourselves. Our kids could use more of this. Hell, all of us could.” ~Ted Lamade, My Month Without a Smartphone “Will not the good people respond to a united, and earnest appeal from us? Can we, can they, by any other means, so certainly, or so speedily, assure these vital objects? We can succeed only by concert. It is not ‘can any of us imagine better?’ but, ‘can we all do better?’ The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves…” ~Abraham Lincoln, Annual Message to Congress – Concluding Remarks | Washington, D.C. | December 1, 1862 Last Set: “Mastery requires lots of practice. But the more you practice something, the more boring and routine it becomes. Thus, an essential component of mastery is the ability to maintain your enthusiasm. The master continues to find the fundamentals interesting.” ~James Clear Food For Thought: “School only teaches you to do the things people already know how to do. Where do you learn how to do things no one knows how to do?” ~Koby Ramalingam, in Upshift, by Ben Ramalingam Food For Thought II: “Of all the virtues we can learn no trait is more useful, more essential for survival, and more likely to improve the quality of life than the ability to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge. To admire this quality means that we pay attention to those who embody it, and we thereby have a chance to emulate them if the need arises.” ~Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Classic Work On How To Achieve Happiness: The Psychology of Happiness
