What a week…28all. Eya. *JA, ET, DM* The Warm-Up: “All I see is blessings | Got no time for stressin’ | Don’t believe in failures in my life, it’s only lessons | They just making room for what I’m on now | I don’t got a clue but I know the One who does know how, oh wow | It’s like I’m learning a game with the Maker, I already know now | Destiny has my name know it’s coming it’ll never go out…” ~Evan and Eris ft. Steven Malcolm, Be Alright The Core: “Happiness is only real when shared.” ~Jon Krakauer “Routine will take you further than willpower.” ~Shane Parrish “The reward for being solid is knowing you’re not them.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “They told me it’s over, I’m finished. But God said just wait and bear witness.” ~Lecrae “If you want to rise, the combination of being trustworthy, determined, and focused is nearly unstoppable.” ~Shane Parrish “You increase your luck when you increase your surface area to receive it. Consistently create and the luckier you’ll get.” ~Matt Gottesman “You’re only as good as you’re willing to be bad…The fact that you’re not going to be good at something or that you’re going to fail at something—that’s OK. Because you’re never going to get good unless you’re willing to be bad.” ~Randall Stutman “The right ones will want to amplify your dreams not erase them. The right ones will understand you rise together—your ascensions are interwoven. The right ones will find you inspiring not threatening. That’s how you will know.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Don’t make decisions based only on the stories being told. There might be stories that aren’t being told that are just as important. The experiences of those who aren’t around are necessary if we want an accurate understanding of the world.” ~Farnum Street “Would I ever leave this company? Look, I’m all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I’m being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly, I’m going wherever they value loyalty the most.” ~Dwight Schrute, The Office “It’s easier to get mad than to stay mentally healthy. It’s easier to work hard than to enjoy your work. It’s easier to be respected than to be loved. It’s easier to be famed than to be talented. It’s easier to talk than to get things done. It’s easier to get rich than to be free.” ~Orange Book “Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.” ~Brian Adams “Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming and all of your excuses have never gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you deserve better and go earn everything you want.” ~Steve Maraboli “Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, it’s unlikely you will step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume that there’s no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, there is a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours.” ~Noam Chomsky Last Set: “ ‘Cause I’m just a nobody trying to tell everybody | All about Somebody who saved my soul | Ever since You rescued me, You gave my heart a song to sing…” ~Casting Crowns ft Matthew West, Nobody Food For Thought: “FAITH: Everything that is happening right now is happening for a reason. Things aren’t always going to look pretty, or feel comfortable, or even seem necessary. Just have enough faith not to quit, understand that things work out how and when they’re supposed to. Use everything that happens to you and around you as tools to help build you, the good and the bad. Don’t allow temporary circumstances to cloud your vision. Realize that the testing of your faith is to produce patience, and the power in patience gives us the will to persevere, and that will promises us not just success, but peace and joy. Don’t run from the struggle, it’s there to make you stronger. Don’t be moved by fear, your faith can take you beyond it.” ~Rob Hill Sr
