Gratitude, Gratitude, Gratitude. 28all. Eya. *CS* The Warm-Up: “You’re not struggling from imposter syndrome. You’re a student and pretending to be a teacher. No students say they feel like frauds for trying to learn. You’re a fraud when you get up to teach the class and you’ve never done it.” ~Alex Hormozi The Core: “If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.” ~Miyamoto Musashi “Nothing is more complex than the human brain, nothing more messy than the actions of human beings.” ~Robert Hagstrom “It is like a finger pointing a way to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.” ~Bruce Lee “If you want to grow as a person, you really have to make friends with pain. Embrace the discomfort. Enjoy the struggle.” ~Arnold Schwarzenegger “Most people get interested when everyone else is. The time to be interested is when no one else is. You can’t buy what is popular and do well.” ~Warren Buffet “Events that demand a leap of action before we’re ready often have the happy effect of boosting us on to the next stage of development in spite of ourselves.” ~Gail Sheehy “Q: How do I become successful? A: By consistently doing something of value for as many people as possible. Wealth and status will occur as side effects.” ~Mark Manson “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” ~Philippians 4:6-7 “It’s nice to get lucky (provided you know it’s luck). But luck isn’t a repeatable process that secures good results over the long term. Luck isn’t something you can learn, and it isn’t something you can get better at. Luck won’t give you an edge.” ~Shane Parrish, Clear Thinking “A sign of wisdom is thinking in probabilities rather than certainties. Naïve people are arrogant. They claim to know what will definitely happen, and believe they’re always right. Wise people are humble. They explore what might happen, and admit they’re often wrong.” ~Adam Grant “ ‘You’ve changed.’ People will say this when they notice the gap widening between you and them. It scares them. It exposes their lack of effort. They don’t like uncertainty, so they pull you back to certainty. Ignore them. They will do anything in their power to seem helpless.” ~Dan Koe “Somewhere, there is the ideal soil for growing mangoes. Or the best possible wave for surfing. Or the most romantic sunset for a proposal. But it’s not right here and it’s not right now. Our success has a lot to do with how we dance with conditions that aren’t quite perfect.” ~Seth Godin, The perfect conditions
“It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.” ~James Baldwin, Collected Essays: Notes of a Native Son / Nobody Knows My Name / The Fire Next Time / No Name in the Street / The Devil Finds Work / Other Essays
Last Set: “Never follow a leader who is more in love with power than people.” ~Native American Proverb Food For Thought: “In the Negro world, as in the white world, Negroes who have money band together and try to ignore the existence of their unluckier brothers. That is the way the love of money works. But neither money, nor the love of it, is the root of all evil. The importance of money is simply that power in the world does not exist without it and power in the world is what almost everyone would like to have.” ~James Baldwin, Collected Essays: Notes of a Native Son / Nobody Knows My Name / The Fire Next Time / No Name in the Street / The Devil Finds Work / Other Essays
