Essentials …Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *CS, PW* The Warm-Up: “If being productive means you’re responding faster to other people’s priorities, you are doing it wrong.” ~Kpaxs The Core: “Let it be what it needs to be right now.” ~Lelah Delia “The trap of conformity: ‘When all think alike, then no one is thinking.’” ~Kpaxs “Growth includes being less drawn to detours, less derailed by distractions, and more intentional about your journey.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Money doesn’t buy happiness, but the less money you have, the more someone else is in control of how you live your life.” ~Orange Book “People forget sometimes, in order to become number one, you have to be a bit crazy. You have to do things out of the norm.” ~Boris Becker “You don’t do well by trying to be right; it is impossible for humans. You do well by figuring out when you’re wrong faster than others do.” ~Nassim Nicholas Taleb “Trauma responses look like over-reactions, because the body remembers the experiences of the past and reacts as if they’re happening in the present.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera “Time will always reveal what you did not heal. Heal so you can recognize a genuine relationship with pure intentions when it shows up without sabotaging it.” ~@MindTendencies2 “If you want to avoid making the same mistake twice, make more decisions based on your past memories and less decisions based on your current emotions.” ~Steven Bartlett, Happy Sexy Millionaire “The first qualification of a soldier is fortitude under fatigue and privation. Courage is only the second; hardship, poverty, and want are the best school for the soldier.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte’s Maxim #58 “A good reason to avoid hatred, besides corroding your heart, consuming your time, and weakening your capacity to think clearly, is that it inflates the ego of your opponents. For them, being hated is proof that they are right.” ~Ayishat Akanbi “The only thing that really matters for a startup is having a product that people really want, and ideally cant help but tell others about. That’s probably 90% of the game. All the other startup accoutrements that we all hem and haw about are worth the other 10%.” ~Jack Altman “Early career: one of my managers had me send him an email every Friday highlighting what I did that week and what my plan was for the next week. Hated it at the time, but in retrospect was a great exercise that made me much better at communication, planning, and execution.” ~Rohun Jauhar “The road to peace will take you through all the parts of you that aren’t really you. Collapsing timelines, ending cycles, closing chapters – until one day you wake up as a version of you that’s no longer complicated by the inner confusion of who you are not. At peace as yourself.” ~@thesoleromero “One of the greatest and most frustrating elements of creativity is its imprecision. One can neither master creativity nor be creative all the time. When you are stuck while pursuing the nebulous task of trying to achieve creative output, introducing an element or two of randomness can help you make new connections to move past the block you are pushing against.” ~Shane Parrish, The Great Mental Models Vol. 3 Last Set: “Boring is exceptional. What makes people rise, is not exciting or sexy…It’s an impressive internal engine that most people can’t see. Photos of someone at fancy parties or locations? Who cares. Show me the person with an unquenchable hunger, deep self-belief, resourcefulness, and endless resolve working quietly behind the scenes. That’s far more impressive, and the person to put your chips behind. What comes *after* success might look sexy, but what creates it certainly is not. So if you’re at home, and living a life that looks very different than your friends – that’s exactly what the building often looks like. Keep going.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner Food For Thought: “Your energy presents you to the world. Your soul guides your direction. Your creativity builds your world. Your trust surrenders you to your uniqueness. Your gifts make you wealthy. Your authenticity is loving. The niche will always be you and you’re just going to have to trust that. Chasing the external to create an identity is the fastest way to lose one. When we chase status or a title, we get a label. When we chase a label, we get a category. When we chase a category, we get a box. Boxes have walls and limits, our soul doesn’t. Let your soul guide you and you cant lose…but you’re going to have to trust it…a continued practice throughout your life.” ~Matt Gottesman Crazy Stat: “Shoutout to Jon Rahm for reminding us of this unbelievable Tiger stat on Sunday…If Tiger Woods only played in 1999 and 2000 — so 2 years and nothing else – he’d have 17 wins and 4 majors. That’s a better career than Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, we could go on…” ~Dan Rapaport, Feb 21st, 2023
