No one stole your joy – you gave them your attention...28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “Looking rich is a silly goal. Your goal should be the freedom to work on things you truly enjoy. Investing in possessions rarely helps. Investing in yourself, a tight network of peers, and valuable content and assets will.” ~Justin Welsh The Core: “Why do the realest people have the fewest friends?” ~@Unkonfined “There’s no such thing as ‘the Bitcoin community’ – that’s the whole point.” ~Naval Ravikant “The goal of investment is to find situations where it is safe not to diversify.” ~Charlie Munger “Wall Street is focused on 90-day sprints when 10 year marathons is what ultimately matters.” ~Anthony Pompliano “A great gift that a parent can give to their child is to simply not burden them with their own traumas.” ~Orange Book “ ‘Human skills’ are eroding. *You see it with increasing conflict on airlines. *Challenges in dating. *People just getting along…Spend more time offline.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “At some point every person who wants to achieve great things realizes that balance is a myth. And once they realize that, they become someone who achieves great things.” ~Alex Hormozi “The Universe is showing you why delay is never denial, and why rejection is really just redirection. Relax. Embrace alignment and the ease that follows. You will figure out your career. You will become the person you always wanted to be. You will find your tribe.” ~@TheOracleReadsU “When you choose to do work you want to do, other areas of your life fall into place. No, I don’t want to eat like garbage or go to bed late because I know it will impact my focus and creativity. When you care about something, your behavior self-corrects to give it your best.” ~Dan Koe “When they don’t have money, people talk about all the problems they would solve if they were rich; once they finally get the money, most people just upgrade their lifestyle and spend it all on fancy hotels, restaurants, clothes. Getting wealthy is actually a test of integrity.” ~Orange Book “But words can only represent actions, ideas, and experiences. Language is not the action, and at best can only hint at the subtlety and complexity contained in the stroke. Although the instruction thus conceived can now be stored in the part of the mind that remembers language, it must be acknowledged that remembering the instruction is not the same as remembering the stroke itself.” ~W. Timothy Gallwey, The Inner Game of Tennis Last Set: “Mastery is the quest to improve yourself as an end in itself. Comparisons are not made with other people, but only with prior versions of yourself. You’re not trying to become a better writer, musician, podcaster, etc. to improve your standing amongst others. Rather, you’re doing it to prove to yourself that you can exercise your potential by contributing everything you can to actualize that untapped resource. Status is obtained by collecting attention, whereas mastery is achieved by refining intuition. Status is always relational, so external validation is a prerequisite to feeling secure. Mastery, on the other hand, is gauged by your unique sense of progress, which can only be derived from within. By pursuing mastery, you march to the beat of your own drum, while ensuring that the quality of that drum continues to improve over time.” ~Lawrence Yeo, Pursue Mastery, Not Status Food For Thought: “Just imagine if you were a kid, you were born into a situation where your dad was super famous, super wealthy and you the kid still had the drive to want to be able to accomplish things for yourself…I personally don’t know if I would’ve been able to do that if the roles were reversed…When I was coming up, I had no choice. I literally had no choice. ... I had to make it out for me. My mom, my family, my hometown, my city. Bronny has all the choices in the world. If Bronny wants to stop right now or never played basketball or just wanted to be a gamer or wanted to be a chef or wanted to be nothing to whatever, he could have done that. ... People don’t understand how hard that is and the commitment for him to be coming out of heart surgery less than a year ago, for him to be able to be in the NBA, the kid, he’s special.” ~LeBron James, LeBron James says Bronny will shrug off critics: ‘He does not care’
