Grateful and remaining aggressively patient. 28all. Eya. *FW* The Warm-Up: “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” ~Ida B. Wells-Barnett The Core: “Some people are so poor all they have is money.” ~Bob Marley “One mark of a smart person is the ability to learn from people they don’t like.” ~Shane Parrish “All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher.” ~Ambrose Bierce “Life gets really good when you finally hit your ‘it aint even worth my energy’ stage.” ~@unkonfined “ ‘I’d die for my family.’ Okay. Would you lift 3x a week, eat a nutrient dense diet, fix your sleep habits, walk 10k steps and stop drinking so much alcohol for them?” ~Dan Koe “Be bored more often. Take a walk without [your] phone, exercise without music, do the dishes without watching tv. Let your mind be blank. Ideas will pop up organically.” ~@bluewmist “He’s a billionaire and he’s playing on the second night of a back-to-back at 40 after 22 years with every freaking record and accolade. And the kids will say I’m glazing him. He’s one of the greatest competitors.” ~JJ Redick on LeBron James “The most liberating truth: You only matter to yourself, your family, and your closest friends. That’s not a tragedy – it’s freedom. Freedom to stop performing and start living authentically for the people who genuinely care.” ~Justin Welsh “If you look, you’ll see lots of cases where commodity services are sold by giving prospects access to scarce goods. Courtside seats sell plane charters. Rounds at Augusta sell 1% wealth advisor fees. You’ll see it everywhere.” ~Patrick O’Shaughnessy “The real ‘inner work’ is outer work. Build things. Meet people. Go for runs. Go for lifts. Focus on the world outside yourself. Use your body. Walk. Wander. Sweat. Make art. Start businesses. Your head will feel better when you use your hands more than your mind.” ~Zach Pogrob “Working at a big company is basically an accelerated course in how power actually works. Once you see the sheer level of inefficiency, rent-seeking, & arbitrary decision-making, it kind of breaks all illusions about big companies. The best part is realizing that half the people in charge have no clue what they’re doing but just sound confident. Once you internalize that, you stop overestimating the competition & start realizing that most barriers to entry are just psychological.” ~@signull Last Set: “It excites me every day that this generation of Black children will have so many more examples of Black success and excellence in work and leadership than I ever had. To be able to be a part of that brings me immense joy. I’ve always said one of my superpowers is that, when I’m gripped by an idea, I find other people who are passionate about it and create a passionate community.” ~Fawn Weaver, Love & Whiskey Food For Thought: “One thing about God is He will send you divine helpers. At the right time, and with the right people, God will connect you with those who He has set aside to help you get to where He wants you to be. Ask God to send the right people into your life, it works.” ~@Sincerely_AO Something for the Road: *Note* I forgot to credit the author of the last quote on last Friday’s MML – Shane Parrish. That’s MY bad!
