Somebody is mad at you right now because you picked peace over drama and distance over disrespect. #positivevibethoughts…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *WL, MB, LS* The Warm-Up: “The only way you can inspire them is by living the most genuine and authentic life to yourself as possible.” ~Naval Ravikant The Core: “The problem today is people don’t cherish good people, they try to use them.” ~Bob Marley “In the long run, your pace of learning matters more than your current results.” ~Shane Parrish “Nobody is thinking you’re an imposter. They are busy thinking about themselves.” ~Ryan Holiday “How you are treated is more important than how much you like someone. Read it again.” ~@theartidote “Everyone thinks they know what they would do in someone else’s position, until they get there.” ~Orange Book “It’s supposed to be overwhelming; it’s supposed to be difficult. That’s what leveling up feels like.” ~@mentality “In this season, may you learn to filter and block effortlessly and without apology. Healthy boundaries will bless your life.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Inflation is accelerating. Geopolitical uncertainty is increasing. Market volatility is everywhere. The world feels chaotic. Just ignore the noise and keep building. The best entrepreneurs steal market share right now.” ~Anthony Pompliano “Banks lend you more money when you are already rich. You are most attractive when you are already happily married. People help you more when you no longer need help. Wealth attracts wealth. That’s just how it works.” ~Orange Book “How I Sleep: 7-8 hours a night (‘sleep is the interest on the life we’ve been loaned’). In bed early, get up early. Read before bed. No TV in bedroom. Charge phone in other room too. Notecards on bedside table for ideas. Like a baby.” ~Ryan Holiday “A reporter asked Bill Belichick, ‘With all you have accomplished in your coaching career, what is left that you still want to accomplish?’ He replied, ‘I’d like to go out and have a good practice today. That would be at the top of the list right now.’ I’ll never forget that.” ~Sahil Bloom “Assuming other people have it too. Whatever ‘it’ is. That’s probably a mistake. People don’t know what you know, don’t believe what you believe, don’t fear what you fear. They’re not equally skilled, equally fast and equally equipped. ‘If I were you’ isn’t that helpful.” ~Seth Godin “Biggest mistake young people in venture make: They look to older, more experienced partners and think they have to emulate their style of investing and founder engagement. I fell in this trap and it’s wrong. You have to find your own style, superpower and optimize for that.” ~Harry Stebbings “Honestly, ‘fitting in’ will make you miserable. Caring too much about being ‘one of the guys’ or ‘one of the girls’, kills happiness & potential. Be your own uncool, weird self and whoever still wants to hang around with you then…keep them close and be weirdos together.” ~Steven Bartlett “Happy couples aren’t just the ones posting kissing selfies. They’re the ones having uncomfortable conversations, helping each other overcome trauma, and ugly-crying to save their relationship. Happy couples prioritize growth and are a source of inspiration for each other.” ~Vex King “Having the vision first means you must be disciplined the longest. Stay devoted to your development. You will figure out what’s best for you in your own timing. It is very necessary to work at loving yourself through the mistakes. Even the ones where you think you should’ve known better. It’s life…Let go of the past. It’s time to trust yourself. Once you know better, do things differently.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “You feel kind of at ease knowing that you can affect so many different plays and different areas of the game with my skill set…I can affect my teammates and how they approach the game with my skill set about the big picture and seeing -- I know I work on my game and I got to this point as an individual player, but I’m at a point in my career it’s like, ‘All right, how can I impact everybody out here? How can I make the other coaches think about their game plan?’” ~Kevin Durant, after dropping a 53 piece on the Knicks earlier this week Last Set: “In toxic cultures, people get promoted for results even if they destroy relationships. Abuse is a price to pay for high performance. In healthy cultures, no level of individual excellence justifies undermining people. You’re not a high performer if you don’t elevate others.” ~Adam Grant Food For Thought: “Something I’m learning / as a woman / who is devoted to living / at the pace of love / is that when I am tired / I don’t always need to / justify it / with the moon / or the planetary position / or what I am or am not eating / or my output / or empathic tendencies / or mothering / or cortisol / or my recent big surge / or any other scientific / or energetic / or astrological analysis / of the workings of my life force / Sometimes I am just tired / and there is no reason / and intuitively I know / there is nothing wrong / I am vibrant and alive / and also today I am tired / and my lesson is not adding / work to the tiredness / by trying to craft a plan / beyond it / my work is in / giving myself to it / letting it cook me / letting it lay me down / and reconfigure me / letting it serve me / without me then saying / ‘Oooh oooh I can help too!’ / no, the tiredness says / I don’t want your help / I want you to do nothing / Be tired. / Feel tired. / And only by letting yourself feel tired / not fighting it / or matcha-ing it / will the tiredness release you / into new vibrancy / it is only / by loving yourself when you are / the things you don’t want to be / will they let you go / because force / doesn’t work for the womb / and she’ll keep teaching / until we learn the golden way. / Lay, she says. / Nowhere to be. / No one to be. / Nothing to be.” ~Peta Kelly, I am tired, it is beautiful. :: We appreciate your readership.
