Mavs or Lakers?! Who got the better deal?!…28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “If you’re a beginner, nobody knows who you are. You have to prove your worth before people start caring enough to pay you. Make noise. Be annoying. Show your work in public. Do everything you can to get in front of the right people. All you need is one bite to change everything.” ~Dan Koe The Core: “The fastest way to get better at anything: Do it messy. Then do it again.” ~Pratham “The beauty of routine is that you don’t waste your day in negotiation.” ~Dylan O’Sullivan “A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.” ~William James “Life rewards people who believe in something and follow through, not overthinkers who are scared of commitment.” ~Orange Book “ ‘Haters are fans too.’ 1) A relaxing mantra when you’re getting hate. 2) A playbook that works but will lead you down a dark path.” ~Eric Jorgenson “The older you get the more you can basically smell insecurity, misery, and envy on people. And the people who are genuine damn near glow.” ~@taeseru “By the time you was my age, you was the 8th man on the bench!” ~Kevin Durant trash talking Hall of Famer Gary Payton Sr. during the Suns vs. Warriors game (1.31.25) “I’m increasingly convinced that one can go 10x faster in life and projects without a corresponding increase in stress if one decides quickly and reflects regularly.” ~Paras Chopra “Frank Sinatra: 1,200 songs, 209 hits (17%). Babe Ruth: 8,399 attempts, 714 homeruns (8.5%). Pablo Picasso: 159k pieces, 1,170 hits (0.7%). 90% of their output is NOT popular…keep going.” ~Matt Gottesman “My therapist told me when your partner shares something emotionally vulnerable with you, imagine they’re throwing you a ball. Your task is to catch the ball and talk about the ball itself, not about how you feel about the ball.-safe.journal” ~@loveandfear “I think you self-sabotage when you like wanting the thing more than having it, maybe because having it is scary, because having it’ll ask too much of you, it’ll ask that you change for it, so it’s more comfortable edging yourself with desire, stuck at the eve of happiness.” ~@SchrodingrsBrat “A benz, a house and a degree are old status symbols. The ultimate goal is freedom. Time freedom, location freedom and financial freedom. Freedom plus a fit body & a clear conscience…everything else on top of that is extra, we’ll strive to get it all, abundance my [playa].” ~CJ Johnson “People who ‘don’t care about anything,’ look relaxed, but are inherently weak people. It takes boldness to care deeply about things…to defend them, and to run into the fire on them. Nothing great was ever pushed forward by people who sat on their tail & cared about nothing.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “When you taste the sweetness of compatibility, chaos stops being appealing. You stop romanticizing the highs & lows, mistaking mixed signals for mystery. Bc when it’s right, there’s no guessing game. No over explaining. No waiting for someone to ‘choose’ you properly. Love flows.” ~AfsaRosette Last Set: “It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.” ~James Clear Food For Thought: “ ‘People expect me to handle this the way that they would… just under a rock or cave somewhere. But I’m like, ‘Nah, I’m living my life.’ I’m really grateful—I meant that. This is no fugazi sh*t. I’m just blessed to be in the position I’m in, the opportunities I’ve gotten, to be able to do what I’ve done.’ People love to hate on greatness, but it’s hard not to respect what Israel Adesanya has accomplished in MMA. Since joining the UFC in February in 2018, Adesanya has:
*18 UFC fights *13-5 UFC record *13 title fights *2x UFC MW champion *5 successful title defenses *4 of 5 losses to UFC champions. *Only fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in the UFC. Perhaps most importantly, Adesanya was always down to fight, never shied away after a loss or from expressing his emotions openly. Appreciate him while he’s still in the game—the sport will miss him when he’s gone.” ~@afeldMMA
