Reflection is the key for accelerating your learning curve #CH…#Walk good. 28all. Eya. *DM, DE, KO* The Warm-Up: “I pray for vision, I pray for wisdom/ I pray for weapons against the system/ I pray for freedom to free the victims/ To heal the brain, no pain inflict ‘em/ I pray for real, I pray for real/ I talk to God then wait for real/ Can’t fake the fall, can’t fake the feel/ I pray for fun, I pray for real/ I pray for y’all (Ah-ah-ah)…” ~Chance the Rapper, Pray For Real by Peter CottonTale The Core: “The bigger the group, the less creative the brainstorm.” ~David Perell “If you aren’t afraid of the truth, then you’re nowhere near it.” ~Naval Ravikant “Your feelings will always have an opinion. Your faith, however, knows the truth.” ~Tavares Bussey “There is no safe path anymore. No one even knows what their currency will be worth in twenty years. You might as well do what you love.” ~Orange Book “One of the biggest things that keeps us from achieving better outcomes: We’d rather not get help than let other people know we might need help.” ~Shane Parrish “If you don’t do everything you can to change things, then they will remain the same. You only pass this way once. You have to give it all you have.” ~John Robert Lewis “Don’t confuse acceptance with access. One is about love. The other is about trust...You can’t let everyone in. Be discerning. Love is given. Trust is earned.” ~Hart Ramsey “He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” ~Aeschylus “In the teenage world you win by perfect performance on easy tests (wearing just the right clothes, answering multiple-choice questions correctly), while in the adult world you win by adequate performance on hard tests.” ~Paul Graham “What looks like a talent gap is often a focus gap. The ‘all star’ is often an average to above average performer who spends more time working on what is important and less time on distractions. The talent is staying focused.” ~James Clear “The biggest generator of long term results is learning to do things when you don’t feel like doing them. If you let excuses or emotion drive behavior, you’re cheating yourself. Put aside the excuses and start doing what you need to do.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food No. 377 “I think what people need to kind of understand about tilt and about emotion is that there’s nothing universal about how we react to things. So emotions are universal, but what triggers specific emotions, that’s very specific to a person. That’s very individual.” ~Maria Konnikova, The Knowledge Project #89 w/ Shane Parrish Last Set: “Don’t burn up all your energy proving how great you are. Invest your time and energy being thoughtful and helpful. See the victories not as proof of your supremacy, but as opportunities to offer more value to life. See the defeats not as personal affronts, but as chances to learn and grow stronger.” ~Ralph Marston, Confident Humility Food for Thought: “When you experience someone else’s genius work, a little part of you feels, ‘That’s what I could have, would have, and should have done!’ Someone else did it. You didn’t. They fought the resistance. You gave in to distractions. They made it top priority. You said you’d get to it some day. They took the time. You meant to. When this happens, you can take it two ways: You could let that part of you give up. ‘Oh well. Now I don’t need to make that anymore.’ Or you could do something about that jealous pain. Shut off your phone, kill the distractions, make it top priority, and spend the time. It takes many hours to make what you want to make. The hours don’t suddenly appear. You have to steal them from comfort. Whatever you were doing before was comfortable. This is not. This will be really uncomfortable. The few times in my life I’ve made a real change like this, it felt awful on the surface. I wasn’t shallow-happy about it. I wasn’t smiling. I was annoyed and fighting it inside, but on the outside I did the work. And in the end, got the deeper satisfaction of finishing.” ~Derek Sivers, Where to find the hours to make it happen Food for Thought II/ III:
