Doubling down on my character…like Thasunda. 28all. Eya. *AL* The Warm-Up: “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive…An artist is a sort of emotional or spiritual historian. His role is to make you realize the doom and glory of knowing who you are and what you are. He has to tell, because nobody else in the world can tell, what it is like to be alive.” ~James Baldwin The Core: “The best advice I got is simple: be you.” ~Luka Doncic “If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone.” ~Naval Ravikant “If it’s always someone else’s fault, it’s probably your fault.” ~Justin Welsh “If it’s a problem that can be solved by money, you don’t have a problem.” ~Ryan Holiday “No one roots for you, until everyone roots for you. That’s just how it works.” ~Alex Hormozi “Do you want to look smart, or do you want to win? Too many people confuse the two.” ~Codie Sanchez “When we have a clear sense of where we’re going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.” ~Simon Sinek “ ‘The lowest points you experience, indicate nothing about the highest points you can reach.’ Keep reaching.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Anxiety is when you have enough intelligence to build the life you want, but not enough courage to take the risks to try and get there.” ~Orange Book “Getting wiser is a combination of humility and diligent curiosity. Without the first, the second is useless: You wont truly learn anything.” ~Farnum Street “Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is feeling the fear, the doubt, the insecurity, and deciding that something else is more important.” ~Mark Manson “The path to a victory is finite. The path to fulfillment is infinite. To live a life for fulfillment is to live as if there is no finish line ⇒ to play the infinite game.” ~Simon Sinek “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art….It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” ~C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves “Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You’re given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.” ~Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time “The future is not like the weather. It doesn’t just happen to us. We shape our future with the choices we make in the present, just as our present situation was shaped by choices we made in the past.” ~Shane Parrish, Clear Thinking “Creativity is not a talent, but a way of thinking or operating. Creativity is the openness to try what-if’s and entertain uncertainty. That’s why the killer of creativity is the fear of failure (fears cant reduce talents, it can only change the way you think).” ~@SchrodingrsBrat Last Set: “Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something. There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.” ~James Clear Food For Thought: “Sheep don’t bring their owners grass to prove to them how much they’ve eaten, they digest it inwardly and outwardly bring forth milk and wool. So don’t make a show of your philosophical learning to the uninitiated, show them by your actions what you have absorbed.” ~Epictetus
