The Warm-Up: 

“Weariness can lead to weakness if not interrupted by worship.”  ~Steven Furtick, God’s Got Your Back Part 2

The Core: 

“The medicine is inside. Go inside and get it.” ~Tepahteh ‘Oso’ Hutze

“Sometimes they don’t love you, they just love the way you love them.” ~@itsmontyj

“Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!” ~Ram Dass

“If you are seeking anything outside of self, you’re taking the long way home.” ~John Kim

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.” ~Daniel J. Boorstin

“You keep paying attention to old road signs and wonder why you keep ending up at the same destination.” ~Billy Chapata

“There are two kinds of forecasters: those who don’t know, and those who don’t know they don’t know.” ~John Kenneth Galbraith

“Maturity is being able to consciously choose your values and then act on them, regardless of the pain or sacrifices involved.” ~Mark Manson

“You could fake being a scumbag for a year, two years, maybe even five years. But you’re not going to fake being a scumbag for 15 or 20 years.” ~David Senra

“The right partner will multiply your world, not divide it. They will expand who you are because they also keep you honest and growing. They’re a mirror for your soul.” ~Matt Gottesman

“Many people have turned back because they are afraid to look at things from God’s perspective. The greatest spiritual crisis comes when a person has to move a little farther on in his faith than the beliefs he has already accepted.” ~Oswald Chambers

“Call your parents. Spend time with them. You don’t have as much time as you think. Set an automatic amount of money to be saved. Invest that money. Your dollars are soldiers. Create an army to build your future. Focus more on building. Less on partying.” ~Dan Go

“I don’t respect the stock market at all. Once you’re public, you’ve lost control over the company, and you have to maximize profits for the shareholder, and then you become one of these irresponsible companies.” ~Yvon Chouinard, Billionaire No More: Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company

“Character is more visible in moments of disappointment than times of triumph. It’s easy to appreciate success. The question is whether people show gratitude even after failure. It takes humility and graciousness to be the person who sends a thank you note after a rejection.” ~Adam Grant

“Moral of this story…1) Be open to the twists and turns. Careers are very rarely linear. 2) Perceived failures can give you the best chances to learn about yourself. 3) Go crush the next opportunity you get and, hopefully, with a healthy chip on your shoulder.” ~Mike Smith, Co-Founder & General Partner at Footwork [LinkedIn Post]

“In order to produce something useful—be it in manufacturing, academia, or even the arts –you must have a reliable process capable of converting the required inputs into the desired output. The problem, in short, is that I don’t think there can be a process capable of consistently turning the large number of variables associated with economies and financial markets (the inputs) into a useful macro forecast (the output).” ~Howard Marks, The Illusion of Knowledge

Last Set:

“What separates a villain from a hero is the hero learns from their pain and tries to help others avoid the same pain. The villain, on the other hand, seeks vengeance against the world that hurt them. The difference between the villain and the hero is the way they react to the pain they’ve experienced.” ~Donald Miller, Hero on a Mission

Food For Thought:

“The first step—perhaps the most enormous step—is to find what you are genuinely interested in. If you are genuinely interested, you will discover endless opportunities for improvement. But if you are disinterested, even obvious improvements will feel like a chore. And, if you can maintain your genuine interest and curiosity as the years accumulate, you will become hard to compete with because you will have skill to go with your passion. If you're interested, you're dangerous.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

Food For Thought II:

“Authenticity is about being true to who you are, even when everyone else wants you to be someone else. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to play fair or conduct yourself in a respectful manner. But it’s a lot harder to become the best you can be when you’re focused on trying to be the best version of someone else. There’s nothing authentic in that, and if it’s not authentic, then it’s not going to last.” ~Michael Jordan
