Authenticity starts with telling yourself the truth. #Dr.Thema…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *JG, LS, PB* The Warm-Up: “You become unstoppable when you work on things people cant take away from you. Things like your mindset, character, personality, transparency, your entire being.” ~@buildalpha The Core: “In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best.” ~Eric Liddell “If you know where you want to go in life, people tend to help or get out of the way. Both of those are useful.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 “Them: Why you work so hard? Me: I want my children to inherit businesses, land, and properties. Not pain, struggle, and trauma.” ~Anonymous “Unexpected problems will keep popping up. See them as an opportunity to grow. Remain calm. Take the time to solve them one by one.” ~Orange Book “Five types of people you want to surround yourself with: the inspired, the passionate, the motivated, the grateful and the open minded.” ~@ProfFeynman “Some falsely believe they can promote themselves by insulting you. They truly only succeed in shrinking themselves and revealing their insecurity.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “Giannis [Antetokounmpo] is cool bc he’ll drop 38-15-7 in 28minuters and hit the postgame presser like ‘I’m just trying to earn my spot in the rotation.’” ~@NekiasNBA “If you cant be fully honest around them, if you have to overthink each word, consider you may be too different to get along, move on. You won’t achieve much if your relationships are draining all your energy.” ~Orange Book “Smart people are going to succeed with or without you. All you can do is help accelerate their success. That is true for VCs, LPs, employers, etc. Many of us think that we alone create greatness, it takes a community.” ~Henri Pierre-Jacques “Normal is an illusion. It’s a math average that doesn’t exist in real life. This is why it’s important to let go of the self-critical voice in your head that shaves down who you are. Worry less about doing things the ‘right way’ and focus more on doing things your way.” ~Cory Allen “Sometimes I get upset with how some people treat me. But then I remember myself that it’s only a weakness that I must work on, for allowing anyone to take my focus off just how beautiful life is. Today you’re alive…and that should never be taken for granted.” ~Daniel Chidiac “Acts of kindness shouldn’t be described as random. They aren’t arbitrary or unintentional. They stem from deeply held values or strongly felt emotions. Helping is an expression of care. It’s a decision that someone’s well-being matters to you—and an effort to matter to them.” ~Adam Grant “You don’t realize the payoff of 1% daily increases from good habits until time starts compounding. And you don’t have to see change every day to know it’s happening, but you can definitely feel it. Respect the process because it will reveal your truth…that one day you’ll wake up and all of those 1%’s will show you the compound effect of your faith.” ~Matt Gottesman Last Set: “Find a beautiful piece of art...fall in love...admire it...and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.” ~Maya Angelou (@_nitch) Food For Thought: “The world is frequently messier and harder to understand than people acknowledge. We tell ourselves artificially tidy stories about why something happened and what will happen next…The trouble is that human beings tend to overstate their ability to predict events. People who can resist that hubris — who can mix knowledge with humility — are often at a competitive advantage.” ~David Leonhardt, The Power of Humility :: We appreciate your readership.
