Stop reacting and start thinking…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *DK, AP, PR, MK, PB* The Warm-Up: “And so for me discernment is about seeing more options. Because at the end of the day, when most people fail, or when they fail to live up to what they hope for, it’s not because they’ve made bad choices, it’s because they didn’t see other choices that were available to them.” ~Brené [Brown] with Charles Duhigg on Habits and Productivity, Dare to Lead Podcast, July 12, 2021 The Core: “Sunshine all the time makes a desert.” ~Arabic Proverb “Become addicted to the process and the results will follow.” ~Shane Parrish “Managing your bad days is your responsibility, don’t blame anyone.” ~Orange Book “An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.” ~Niels Bohr “What you did in the past makes a good story. What you’re doing today makes a difference.” ~Shane Parrish “The opportunity you want doesn’t wait for you to be ready. You miss out when you’re afraid of messing up.” ~Shane Parrish “Much appreciation for the courageous trailblazers who speak the unpopular truth and stand for justice despite the arrows meant to silence you.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “I am saying that a journey is called that because you cannot know what you will discover on the journey, what you will do with what you find, or what you find will do to you.” ~James Baldwin “Compassion is part of the road to peace, and peace is part of the road to truth, and truth is part of the road to joy – and joy, sweet ones, is the road to love.” ~Archangel Michael channeled by Linda Dillon “Life doesn’t give you the people you want. It gives you the people you need; to help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you and to help you grow into the person you are meant to be.” ~@_poemsporn “Once it [your reputation] is solid, do not let yourself get angry or defensive at the slanderous comments of your enemies—that reveals insecurity, not confidence in your reputation.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power “Admit it. You got a dope soul. Stop regretting being a caring person. Who ever got to experience you, needed your light at that time. You stay kind, and committed to your love. Don’t you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep on shining like you do.” ~@_poemsporn “You have to have a dream before you can execute it. That the people who succeed are the ones who think through what the next stages of their careers might be, and then work incredibly hard, day after day, to attain their goals. They don’t just flop around like fish. They have a vision, and they work their asses off to make it a reality.” ~Judd Apatow, Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy “It’s a great piece of advice, and it actually comes from the guy in Hollywood, I can’t remember his name, who basically said, ‘The only truly toxic thing you can do is show someone that you don’t respect them, and if you do, they will do everything within their power to destroy you.’…It’s a wound and once you do that, they’ll hurt themselves to try and hurt you.” ~Brené [Brown] with Charles Duhigg on Habits and Productivity, Dare to Lead Podcast, July 12, 2021 “However, the difference between success and failure lies in your ability to deal with ambiguity. By definition, someone who is able to deal with ambiguity ‘can effectively cope with change, shift gears comfortably, decide and act without having the total picture, and handle risk and uncertainty.’ Those with a strong ability to deal with ambiguity are often described as adaptable, flexible, and comfortable with uncertainty.” ~Courtney Osborn, The Essential Skill for Career Development – Dealing with Ambiguity Last Set: “Whether we currently identify as a victim or a victor, we are all wounded. If we could see our wounds as the way through, as Jesus did, then they would become sacred wounds, and not something to deny, disguise, or export to others. I’ve frequently said that if we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it, usually to those closest to us. The given is that we will have pain! Spirituality is about transforming both history and individuals so that we don’t just keep handing on this pain to the next generation, consciously or unconsciously.” ~Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation Food for Thought: “Nobody will ever understand the pressure you face! I know we don’t know each other but I’m so proud of the decision to withdraw. It’s as simple as—what does it mean to gain the whole world but forfeit your soul. Sometimes our no’s are more powerful than our yes’s. When what you normally love starts to steal your joy it’s important we take a step back to evaluate why. People thought I was crazy for not finishing the purpose tour but it was the best thing I could have done for my mental health!! So proud of you @simonebiles.” ~Justin Bieber Food for Thought II: “Early career years are painful. You feel like an idiot 98% of the time—lost, confused and insecure. I wish I had a cheat sheet of principles for my first job. So I put one together. Here are 20 things about building a career I wish I knew sooner: ... Principle #5: Figure out what your boss hates and take it off their plate. An exercise I like to do is the ‘Value Venn Diagram.’ *What do I like…*What am I good at…*What does the company need…Figure out what the company needs AND your boss DOESN’T like doing. Principle #6: Learn just enough to be dangerous. Know a little bit: (a) how the world works, (b) the industry works and (c) how the business works. Cross functional knowledge is underrated. If you bring it to the table, you’ll be an asset in any company from Day 1. Principle #7: Use the ‘Challenge Framework’ to solve difficult problems. Every situation is a function of: *Incentives *Personalities *Perspectives *Constraints *Resources. In most ‘tough’ situations, 2+ are misaligned. Figure out which and hone in on them.” ~Romeen Sheth (@RomeenSheth) :: We appreciate your readership. You can learn more about the MML here.
