“‘I’m harder to explain’ — ‘you just explained it.’” #iykyk…28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “If you’re not 100 percent into it, somebody else who is 100 percent into it will outperform you. And they won’t just outperform you by a little bit—they’ll outperform you by a lot because now we’re operating in the domain of ideas, compound interest really applies, and leverage really applies.” ~Naval Ravikant The Core: “The only people who will ultimately be replaced by AI are those who are incapable (or unwilling) to learn how to run a business.” ~Dan Koe “The more you seek to control someone, the more they will seek to stay away from you, because everyone is yearning for more freedom.” ~Orange Book “The most magnetic people aren’t trying to impress you. Their energy is clear, calm, and grounded and that’s exactly why they’re unforgettable.” ~Ana “A lot of entrepreneurs that were hot in 2020-2021 didn’t survive the drought, 2022 wiped a lot of people out. Getting money is one thing, keeping money is another.” ~Chris Johnson “Nobody owes you an opportunity. It’s up to you to create your own. The easiest way to start is to stop asking random people questions and just do something today.” ~Justin Welsh “If you’re lost, the answer is education. If you’re educated, the answer is execution. If you’re executing, the answer is persistence. If you’re persisting, the answer is experimentation.” ~Anonymous “In a toxic family system, the healthiest person causes friction. They create resistance in the familiar dynamics, and other members become uncomfortable and triggered.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera “Old Status Symbols: Luxury goods | Position of authority | Busy-ness | Endorsed by establishment. New Status Symbols: Fitness | Position of influence | Flexible schedule | Creative Output | Self-actualization | Independent + Anti-fragile.” ~Eric Jorgenson “Emotion regulation is not about ignoring or suppressing feelings. It’s about reflecting before reacting. Emotions are clues to values and interests. They should inform decisions, not dictate them. Choosing not to act on everything you feel is a mark of emotional intelligence.” ~Adam Grant “The older you get, the more you realize uncommunicated one-sided beef is not your problem, undiscussed expectations are not your problem, someone not liking you is not your problem, someone not understanding you is not your problem, and what people think of you is none of your business.” ~@MindTendencies2 “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real… it is possible… it’s yours.” ~Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged “When you’re lonely, you rush connection. It feels desperate because it is desperate. I remember when I first read Nietzsche’s line: ‘the lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.’ It devastated me for weeks because I was that person. But I learned the remedy is actually quite simple. Real connection can’t be rushed or forced. It grows from showing up at the same place, same time, day after day. The barista learns your drink before you order. You learn which regulars come in at 8am and which at 12pm. Small nods become quick chats. You become part of the place’s daily flow. One coffee shop for three months beats ten coffee shops once. Connection isn’t made. It accumulates with consistency.” ~Ashwin Sharma Last Set: “The real winners are those who appreciate the journey while attracting what they want, not those who feel miserable while chasing what they want.” ~Orange Book Food For Thought: “I say this whenever someone shares their fears with me about taking a leap forward: Nobody knows what they’re doing before they do it. When you’re trying to level up, it’s easy to psych yourself out by focusing on everything you don’t know. But you’ve got to have faith in your ability to figure it out. A black diamond is scary if you usually ski blues. But you’ll never advance if you always turn around to find an easier trail; eventually, you have to put your poles in the snow and push. Growth happens outside of your comfort zone. Whether on your ass or on your skis, don’t worry—you will get down the hill, and you’ll learn a lot along the way. (This is also why promoting people before they are ready works so well.)” ~Will Guidara, Unreasonable Hospitality
