33…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *GE* The Warm-Up: “Love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ~Nelson Mandela The Core: “Action reveals what words conceal.” ~Shane Parrish “Drowning people/ Sometimes die/ Fighting their rescuers.” ~Octavia Butler “Some lessons have to be experienced before they can be understood.” ~Michael Batnick “As a creator, it is your job to find your audience—not your audience’s job to find you.” ~David Perell “If speaking kindly to plants helps them grow, imagine what speaking kindly to humans can do.” ~Unknown “We can make ourselves miserable, or we can make ourselves strong. The amount of effort is the same.” ~Pema Chodron “Don’t get offended because I am not who you want me to be. Your ideals and expectations are your problem.” ~Orange Book “We prefer to see ‘winners’ as ‘naturally talented’ rather than ‘hard working.’ Because if it were reversed, what would that imply about us?” ~Naval Ravikant “When you love a man, he becomes more than a body. His physical limbs expand, and his outline recedes, vanishes. He is rich and sweet and right. He is part of the world, the atmosphere, the blue sky and the blue water.” ~Gwendolyn Brooks “More than I want big returns, I want to be financially unbreakable. And if I’m unbreakable I actually think I’ll get the biggest returns, because I’ll be able to stick around long enough for compounding to work wonders.” ~Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money “It costs nothing to ask a successful person how they succeeded, but it may deliver more value than 1,000 hours of hard work. Others are under no obligation to tell you their secrets, but it is surprising how much you can learn from sincere, direct, and thoughtful questions.” ~James Clear “I want it when it’s right for me, and if it’s not at that point yet, then I will keep growing until it’s ready. Faith, initiative, discipline, and Love. Being needed can feel good, when it’s healthy. Feeling wanted can be affirming, when it’s mutual. Let loving yourself be what leads you to me.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “Educate yourself. When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it. Read read read. Study, learn, stimulate your brain. Don’t just rely on the school system, educate that beautiful mind of yours.” ~Anonymous “Choose battles wisely—some people love to fight; don’t be some people. Cherish your inner peace. Allow people to fight themselves. Suppress the need to argue. You don’t need to be right. You don’t need to prove anyone wrong. There is no value in living a life where you walk around attempting to prove people wrong.” ~Sylvester McNutt III Last Set: I love James Clear’s writing (I still haven’t read Atomic Habits, DD, that’s on me), but this question in his most recent email just hit different… “Is there a better way? Is there a kinder way?” Food for Thought: “When you feel yourself triggered, follow this simple framework. Recognize how you’re feeling. Acknowledge you are responsible for how you feel. Allow yourself to feel without blame. Don’t suppress how you feel. Don’t feel guilty about feeling. Take yourself out of your mind and into your body. Ask yourself where you’re feeling it in your body? You’re not a prisoner of your feelings. When we suppress how we feel, our emotions become a negatively coiled spring waiting to pounce. The smallest disturbance can set the off without warning. When you rehash what happened, you only coil them more. When you blame other people for how you feel, you absolve yourself from something you are responsible for. Instead feel without guilt or shame. It’s ok to feel. Feel it in your body fully and it will pass quickly.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food No. 386
