Ready not lucky... Walk good. 28all. Eya. *WC, KO* The Warm-Up: “I want you to be everything that’s you, deep at the center of your being.” ~Confucius The Core: “The wealthiest people didn’t get there by ‘teaching how to get rich.’” ~Orange Book “Bitcoin has value because bitcoiners say it does. Few understand this.” ~Anthony Pompliano “Progress over perfection. When you are constantly moving in the right direction, perfection is unnecessary.” ~Shane Parrish “I have a lot to accomplish, but nothing to prove. There’s a subtle little difference there.” ~Stephen Curry, on what drives and motivates him “Shame to see so many seasonal talented people…their work ethic fails their gift…Makes them randomly dope but consistently mediocre.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “When one bell is rung, by the sound of that one bell other bells will also vibrate. So, it is with the dancing of the soul...it produces its reaction, and that again, will make other souls dance.” ~Hazrat Inayat Khan “You cannot hit two targets with one arrow. If your thoughts stray, you miss the enemy’s heart. Mind and arrow must become one. Only with such concentration of mental and physical power can your arrow hit the target and pierce the heart.” ~48 Laws Of Power “There’s a graveyard of companies and investors who tried to grow too fast, attempting to reap a decade’s worth of rewards in a year or less, learning the hard way that capitalism doesn’t like it when you try to use a cheat code.” ~Morgan Housel, Investing: The Greatest Show On Earth “Maintain a margin of safety—even when it’s going well. Rich people go bankrupt chasing even more wealth. Fit people get injured chasing personal records. Productive people become ineffective taking on too many projects. Don’t let your ambition ruin your position.” ~James Clear “Repetition unlocks value. The value of your first workout increases the more you exercise. The value of your first article increases the more you write. The value of your first conversation increases the longer you stay in the relationship. Day One continues to compound.” ~James Clear “You can be highly underrated and overlooked and still be the best to do it. Greatness starts at the individual level and is a combination of your talent and mindset working together. When it’s your time it’s your time. Remember that. Stay consistent fam. The market won’t know what hit them when you get there. Let’em catch up a bit.” ~Matt Gottesman “One of the first things I learned was that religious faith does not automatically provide solace in times of crisis. A belief in God and an afterlife does not become spontaneously comforting and existentially strengthening. Despite my rational, conscious acknowledgment that I would die someday, the shattering reality of a fatal diagnosis provoked a remarkably strong psychological denial of mortality.” ~Timothy Keller, Growing My Faith in the Face of Death “Your behavior must be far ahead of your success…Whatever ‘success’ looks like to you, must be preceded by behaviors that say you know how to be responsible for receiving it. If you’re allowing something contrary to what you want, that’s not preceding your desired outcome…Here’s what I know about manifestation. It takes work to get clear on what your intuition desires and then it takes work to make decisions that align with your clarity. Manifestation is NOT wishing. It’s not wanting to for the sake of wanting and you’re hoping it will fulfill you. It’s not solely words of affirmation.” ~Matt Gottesman Last Set: “We ask for more, and more, and more, and before we know it, we have parts of a person we aren’t personally prepared to handle. Must be a beautiful thing to have a love you’re so committed to enjoying that you don’t think twice about trying to control it. We want so much and value so little…We all get so focused on having this or having that…We’re obsessed with possessing and so deficient at appreciating.” ~Rob Hill Sr. Food for Thought: “An open letter to Meyers Leonard: So, we’ve never met, I hope we can one day soon. I’m sure you’ve been getting lots of criticism for what you said. Not trying to add to that, I just want to offer some perspective. I get the sense that you didn't use that word out of hate, more out of ignorance. Most likely, you weren’t trying to hurt anyone or even profile Jews in your comment. That’s what makes it so destructive. When someone intends to be hateful, it’s usually met with great resistance. Casual ignorance is harder to combat and has greater reach, especially when you command great influence. Hate is like a virus. Even accidentally, it can rapidly spread. I’m down in Miami fairly often. Let’s do a Shabbat dinner with some friends I’ll show you a fun time.” ~Julian Edelman via Twitter Food for Thought II: “The solution to 90% of financial problems is ‘save more money and be more patient.’ Nothing is more powerful or more capable of moving the needle. But it’s so boring. It makes you sound like a kindergartener. Smart people don’t want to devote their careers to it. They want derivatives, high-frequency trading, offshore tax shelters and The Lightning Round. In both cancer and investing, things that are boring but effective are discounted relative to things that are exciting but knowingly less effective. The point of these is not to just tell a neat story. It’s that you can learn lots about investing by reading things that have nothing to do with investing. Greed, fear, risk, opportunity, and scarcity – the most critical topics in investing – reveal themselves in all kinds of fields.” ~Morgan Housel, Investing: The Greatest Show On Earth Blog Post:
