I love it when my mom calls just to read me some of her favorite MML quotes from the day before…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *KO, PR, JS, TS* The Warm-Up: “Let me start off by saying, what an honor it is to be able to represent not only my country, but also the kingdom of God. What I have in Christ is far greater than what I have or don’t have in life. I pray my journey may be a clear depiction of submission and obedience to God. Even when it doesn’t make sense, even when it doesn’t seem possible. He will make a way out of no way. Not for my own gratification, but for His glory. I have never seen God fail in my life. In anyone’s life for that matter. Just because I may not win every race, or receive every one of my heart’s desires, does not mean God had failed. His will is PERFECT. And He has prepared me for a moment such as this. That I may use the gifts He has given me to point all the attention back to Him. 🇺🇸❤️. 2x Olympian, Olympic Champion, World Record Holder. Thank. You. God. 🙏🏽” ~Sydney McLaughlin The Core: “My only generic advice is: when you get excited (or angry) about something, slow down. You’ll be grateful you did.” ~Andrew Huberman “You can’t win culture with culture. You win culture with Kingdom…In other words, because we’re in it but not of it, we operate in what we are of #kingdom.” ~Chris Durso “Upgrade your mind by upgrading the quality of your conversations and books. Upgrade your life by upgrading the quality of your decisions and investments.” ~Orange Book “Spend more time searching for better information sources. A body filled with junk food struggles to move well. A mind filled with junk thoughts struggles to think well.” ~James Clear “The benefit of building in public is an audience when you launch. The cost is the public embarrassment if you fail. The trick is realizing no one cares that you failed. They’re impressed that you tried.” ~Sahil Lavingia “Most improvement is too small to see until time allows it to accumulate into something much larger. A lot of people get frustrated and give up before the gains become meaningful and obvious. A lack of patience changes the outcome.” ~Shane Parrish “Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power “Your immediate reaction does not tell you who you are, it is how you decide to respond after the reaction that gives you real insight into how much you have grown. Your first reaction is your past, your intentional response is your present.” ~Yung Pueblo “I don’t care about being the face of the NBA. KD or Harden can be. I want to be with my kids and my family, I want to win and enjoy the game. I want to be Giannis the hard worker.” ~Giannis Antetokounmpo, on being the face of the NBA “These young women are going to see themselves in a number of ways and they’re going to look up there and go, ‘I can do that. I can see myself.’” ~Tamyra Mensah-Stock, the first Black woman to win gold for Team USA in wrestling, on encouraging Black girls to consider wrestling “An observation people often make: if someone mispronounces a word, they probably learned it from reading (and so you should not look down on them.) An observation people rarely make: if someone uses a word you do not have in your active vocabulary, they probably…” ~Patrick McKenzie “Two days ago my aunt unexpectedly passed, and that was something I wasn’t expecting to happen at the Olympic Games either, so at the end of the day, you have to be a little bit more mindful of what you say online, because you have no idea of what these athletes are going through as well as (in) their sports…” ~Simone Biles on the passing of her aunt during the Olympics “Our time is a time of a great awakening. It is a time of rebirth. It is a time of resurrection. It is a time of healing. It is time for each man who has the will, the love, and the spirit to open wide the great occult book of knowledge and allow all hands to touch and flip through these pages and gaze upon its wise words. The resurgence of the esoteric science is desperately needed in a world of pain, suffering, ignorance, and dire straits. It is time to unveil what has been stolen and kept hidden from the common man. It is time to shine a light on the secrets in plain sight.” ~Claudia Pavonis Last Set: “Patience is the supreme virtue of the gods, who have nothing but time. Everything good will happen-the grass will grow again, if you give it time & see several steps into the future. Impatience, on the other hand, only makes you look weak. It’s the principal impediment to power.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power Food for Thought: “You can’t see what’s really happening when you want to be right about what you already think.” ~Shane Parrish :: We appreciate your readership.
