People who want to see you win, will help you win…Remember that…#Anonymous…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JK, JB, JM* The Warm-Up: “Instead of trying to fit you in a box, kindred spirits appreciate the way you color outside the lines. Be all that you are.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant The Core: “Social media is creating clones and not pioneers.” ~Lalah Delia “Invest in your mind until you can stay calm under any circumstance.” ~Orange Book “You’re getting distracted again. You got dreams to chase. Not people to impress. Wake up.” ~@mentality “One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm. Calm is a superpower.” ~Bruce Lee “Sometimes, God will allow them to think you’re about to fail just to get their attention so they can watch you win.” ~Pastor Kimberly Jones “We have to be willing to confront the world as it is, not as we want it to be if we’re going to be successful.” ~Barry McCarthy [Brain Food. No. 459— February 13, 2022 — Read on FS] “Reposting this cause I like the simplicity. Idea cadence shouldn’t be: dig, think, act, act, act, act, act, act…Should be more like: dig, think, act, dig, dig, think, dig, think, think, think, dig, think, act.” ~Paul Enright “Unhealed trauma will have you continually asking to be treated right instead of placing boundaries or removing yourself. Please heal to stop tolerating bullshit behavior from people—choose peace over chaos and distance over disrespect.” ~@pammy “It takes years and maturity to make the discovery that the power of faith is nobler than the power of doubt; and that there is a celestial wisdom in the ingenuous propensity to trust, which belongs to honest and noble natures.” ~Harriet Beecher Stowe “The hard truth: you can research, plan, and prepare for as long as you want, but nothing can replace the wisdom that comes from experience. If you refuse to learn from failure, you’re opting into your own self-imposed limitations.” ~Michell Clark “You don’t find yourself, you create yourself, day after day, year after year, by getting rid of your unhealthy habits, by putting yourself out there, by taking calculated risks, by slowly building up the body and mind you want. Success is when you are who you want to be.” ~Orange Book “People I deeply respect have a few common traits: Think for themselves / Willing to change their mind / Relationships over financial returns / Relentless in their pursuits / Work harder than their peers / Generous with their time / Understand kindness wins. What about you?” ~Anthony Pompliano “I wish I got my flowers when everything wasn’t rosey / How I’m supposed to smell em when everyone’s being nosy / Pictures of me victorious they making with Adobe make me thankful that a trophy was never what made me cozy / For now I just want to feel something / After that I wanna heal something / and after that wanna build something / But today I just fulfilled something @obj.” ~@champagnepapi “Long game. Will require patience, honesty & integrity. Will require doing the right thing. Will require morals & values. Will require consistency, discipline & time. Will require looking like you’re crazy. Will require sacrifices. Will require shifts…massive shifts. Will require being ‘uncomfortable’ at times. Will require self-awareness & accountability. Will require your commitment to growth. Will require you.” ~Matt Gottesman “The third thing I’d say is I developed partly through dumb luck – I’ll get into that – a very unique risk management system. The first thing I heard when I got in the business, not from my mentor, was bulls make money, bears make money, and pigs get slaughtered. I’m here to tell you I was a pig. And I strongly believe the only way to make long-term returns in our business that are superior is by being a pig. I think diversification and all the stuff they’re teaching at business school today is probably the most misguided concept everywhere.” ~Stanley Druckenmiller at the Lost Tree Club (1.18.15) Last Set: “When advantage accumulates…big wins are over-rated and incremental progress is under-rated. You don’t need to be amazing, just slightly better for slightly longer.” ~Shane Parrish Food For Thought: I received a text (out of the blue) from a mentor on Wednesday. It read: “Keep doing great things bro! Appreciate you!” I was hyped. It made my day. But as I often do, I asked the next question: “Tell me more. What prompted this?!” His response floored me: “Good mentorship is doing the unnecessary…As your leadership advances, titles progress and you utilize your innate unicorn abilities…the ‘thank you’s’, ‘please’s’ and appreciation tends to drift away…let it not discourage you as your track is the right one. I know enough to know my job is to recognize you not just when it matters…but more importantly…when it doesn’t.” That hit different…especially as earlier that morning I read a quote: “If you make a man think he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.” ~Carter G. Woodson, The Mis-Education of the Negro. I thought about how important it is to give people their flowers while they can still smell them… Wild: “This season Cooper Kupp: *Won the receiving triple crown. *Won Offensive Player of the Year. *Won Super Bowl MVP. Jerry Rice is the only WR in NFL history to do all of those things in an entire career. Kupp did that in a single season.” ~@ESPNStatsInfo :: We appreciate your readership.
