Sip slowly…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *CJ* The Warm-Up: “The difference between a chameleon and a shape shifter is subtle, yet meaningful; a shape shifter can mimic and become the desired, a chameleon can change appearance, but not substance, not once compromising its lineage for survival.” ~Anonymous The Core: “Nothing taught by force stays in the soul.” ~Plato “In the long-run, prioritization beats efficiency.” ~James Clear “The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.” ~Jim Rohn “An opinion without 3.14 is an onion. You’ll understand.” ~@ThePunnyWorld “Society honors its living conformists and its dead troublemakers.” ~Mignon McLaughlin “It is not your duty to wake up anyone that has been sleeping on your magic.” ~Billy Chapata “One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming other people think the way we think.” ~Author Unknown “Set aside 1 hour a day for the 2 most important people in your life: 1) You 2) The person you want to become.” ~Dan Koe “The more you try to control someone, the more you are pushing them away. Deep down, everyone wants freedom.” ~Orange Book “A leader’s job is not to fix disengaged people. A leader’s job is to fix the environment that results in disengaged people.” ~L. David Marquet “Don’t take it personally when others avoid, reject, invalidate, or skip over your pain. Take it personally when you do it to yourself.” ~Maryam Hasnaa “More value is created by those good at spotting opportunities than identifying and solving problems. History shows the best opportunities come in bad times, not good.” ~Shane Parrish “I will say this until I die…if you are middle class or above without any major issues, you have no excuse to not look after your health. Others would kill to be in your position. Put in the work and then go help those that don’t have the same opp.” ~Joe Holder “Celebrate yourself for the times you broke the cycle and resisted the pull to repeat old patterns. Have compassion for yourself for the times you followed old scripts and returned to past pits. The progress and the setbacks are part of the journey.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “You don’t need expensive tutors to learn. You don’t need a fancy gym to work out. You don’t need to be ready to get a job. You don’t need a reason to be kind. You don’t need alcohol to have fun. You don’t need to be rich to invest. You don’t need motivation to start.” ~Orange Book “I hope, you attract friendships and connections that are in line with where you are in your growth. I hope you’re surrounded by people that feel like mirrors and less like shadows. I hope the energy you afford outward so freely is energy you are also willing to give yourself.” ~Billy Chapata “To me that’s kind of the essence of being Serena: expecting the best from myself and proving people wrong. There were so many matches I won because something made me angry or someone counted me out. That drove me. I’ve built a career on channeling anger and negativity and turning it into something good. My sister Venus once said that when someone out there says you can’t do something, it is because they can’t do it. But I did do it. And so can you.” ~Serena Williams, Serena Williams Says Farewell to Tennis On Her Own Terms—And In Her Own Words “An asset you don’t deserve can quickly become a liability. Maybe your portfolio surged during a bubble, your company hit a monster valuation, or you negotiated a salary that exceeds your ability. It feels great at the time. But reality eventually catches up and demands repayment in equal proportion to your delusions – plus interest. These debts are easy to ignore because they are often repaid in the form of self-doubt and crushed morale. But they are very real, and when you understand their power you become careful what you wish for. Companies should want the valuation they deserve, and not a penny more. Workers should want a salary that matches their skill, and nothing more. Families should want a lifestyle they can sustain, and nothing higher. None of those are about settling or giving up. It’s about avoiding a certain kind of psychological debt that comes due when reality catches up.” ~Morgan Housel, Reality Catches Up Last Set: “Marry someone who wants to chase God with you.” ~Liciaz Food For Thought: “I don’t particularly like to think about my legacy. I get asked about it a lot, and I never know exactly what to say. But I’d like to think that thanks to opportunities afforded to me, women athletes feel that they can be themselves on the court. They can play with aggression and pump their fists. They can be strong yet beautiful. They can wear what they want and say what they want and kick butt and be proud of it all. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career. Mistakes are learning experiences, and I embrace those moments. I’m far from perfect, but I’ve also taken a lot of criticism, and I’d like to think that I went through some hard times as a professional tennis player so that the next generation could have it easier. Over the years, I hope that people come to think of me as symbolizing something bigger than tennis. I admire Billie Jean because she transcended her sport. I’d like it to be: Serena is this and she’s that and she was a great tennis player and she won those slams.” ~Serena Williams, Serena Williams Says Farewell to Tennis On Her Own Terms—And In Her Own Words :: We appreciate your readership.
