I hope you win the war you tell no one about #mindset.therapy…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *AL* The Warm-Up: “Without self-reflection, I can’t know myself. Without knowing myself, how can I lead myself? Without leading myself, how can I lead others?” ~Harry Kraemer The Core: “Chance favors the connected mind.” ~Steven Johnson “People would rather believe than know.” ~E.O. Wilson “The more neatly you fit into society, the less free you actually are.” ~Naval Ravikant “Real, genuine vibes only. We don’t spiritually bypass the human experience over here. Come as you are.” ~Sole “Perfectionism is not about excellence or self-improvement, but about self-protection. It’s a defense mechanism to avoid shame and judgement.” ~Kpaxs “Your ultimate success or failure will depend on your ability to ignore the worries of the world long enough to allow your investments to succeed.” ~Peter Lynch “Dear trauma survivor — Please stop thinking if you explain it better they will give you the respect you’ve given them. If it’s not mutual, it’s not respect.” ~Nate Postlethwait “Try not to let your emotions affect your judgement. Fear and greed are probably the worst emotions to have in connection with the purchase and sale of stocks.” ~Walter Schloss “Life hack: do the work. Stop looking for shortcuts, and do the work. Stop overthinking, and do the work. Stop listening to people tell you why you’ll fail, and do the work.” ~Michell C Clark “Stop ignoring your gut, often times it’s God nudging you, warning you, that something is not right. When you feel something is off, it usually is! Learn to listen. Step back. PRAY!” ~@RealTalkKim “The Bravest things you can do in life: 1. Be unabashedly yourself 2. Go after exactly what you want. It’s amazing how many people will try to stop you from both, who will never have the courage for either.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “When you show up as yourself free from the need to become who others need you to be, only the highest good can come. You chose authenticity over attachment. If people stay, they stay. If people leave, they leave. The true gift is that you stayed and did not abandon yourself.” ~Maryam Hasnaa “You know, I knew almost nothing when I was starting out. And I wish that at the time I could’ve recognized that that was actually a good thing. I didn’t have the same pedigree that a lot of VCs have, and I think when you don’t really know ‘how things are done’ you’re not afraid to do things differently. You just do what feels natural. Folks will think they’re set because they read the right book, but the thing about business books is they become outdated every few years. I wish I’d known that having a beginner’s mind was an advantage all along.” ~Reilly Brennan, An Interview with Craig Shapiro, Collaborative Fund “Why I’m here is because I’m desperate…I’m not as talented as Steph. I’m not as talented as KD. I’m f—— desperate. I’m obsessed. I’m scared to lose what God has gave me and the life that I’ve provided for my kids and my brothers and for my mom, you know? I’m scared. So, I f—— work as hard as I can, because I don’t want to lose this s—… And it’s not gonna stop until I’m out of this league. So I do have the trophies somewhere. But I try not to look at them, because I want to win another one. I do want to. But I don’t want to go and say it. I don’t want to beg. I want my game to speak for itself. And like you said, it’s hard not to play with Khris [Middleton]. If we played with Khris (all season), I don’t think we have 48 wins (which is what they had at the time). I think we have 55 now. I really do believe that.” ~Giannis Antetokounmpo Last Set: “Opportunities do not just float around in the ether. They are firmly attached to individuals. If you’re courting strategic serendipity, what you really need is people. If you’re trying to marshal resources to chase an opportunity, you’re trying to enlist the support and involvement of other people. A company doesn’t offer you a job, people do. A successful career is about people, people, people.” ~Reid Hoffman & Ben Casnocha, The Startup of You Food For Thought: “After 25 years, I stopped using a certain credit card for business. It was easily millions of dollars worth of transactions over that period. Did anyone at the company notice? Did anyone care? I still remember losing a client in 1987. Small organizations pay attention and care very much about each and every customer. Verizon and AT&T, on the other hand, don’t even know that you and I exist. Small family farms have significantly higher yields than neighboring farms that are much bigger. That’s because the individual farmer cares about every single stalk and frond, and the person with a lot of land is more focused on what they think of as the big picture. But it’s pretty clear that if you add up enough small things, you get to the big one. Caring at scale can’t be done by the CEO or a VP. But what these folks can do is create a culture that cares. They can hire people who are predisposed to care. They can pay attention to the people who care and measure things that matter instead of chasing the short term. Large organizations have significant structural advantages. But the real impacts happen when they act like small ones.” ~Seth Godin, Is it possible to care at scale?
