The Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *KB*

The Warm-Up: 

“It’s probably not a good idea to overlook female CEOs or Black CEOs. Because they’re driving an enormous amount of value in business.” ~Dr. Iman Abuzeid, Co-founder and CEO of Incredible Health

The Core: 

“Success is just boring consistency applied to the 20% of stuff that actually matters.” ~Justin Welsh

“May what they did no longer be the center of who you are. There’s much more to you than that.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“When your body tells you that something is off about a person or situation trust it right away—your mind can digest later.” ~@ariela1122

“Just make sure that the checks clear and your family good, your people straight, and your health right; stop giving energy to the bullsh*t!” ~Joe Holder

“Some things you just have to surrender and trust that it will work itself out. You did your part. Now release it and be patient about it.” ~Idil Ahmed

“Every single algorithm feed trained on likes turns you into a psychological farm animal, feeding at the trough of maximum expected gratification.” ~Michael Mayer

“I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word; and the third, a good deed.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche

“You’re different. They’re trying to figure you out but they keep getting confused. The things that intimidate them don’t move you. Be at peace with being a mystery.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“ ‘Be humble enough to accept the process.’ ~Rafael Nadal. When you accept the process, you stop bargaining with it. You stop arguing about how the world should work and align yourself with how it does.” ~Shane Parrish

“For me, I know I cant be romantically linked to someone who isn’t living their life purpose. I’m attracted to people who are in their element whatever that is. It doesn’t matter how much matrix success you create, there is just a certain energy that someone on purpose has.” ~Maryam Hasnaa

“Staying silent even when you have so much to say is a practice in discernment. Sometimes, you have to be selective about who is worth your energy and who isn’t. This starts by noticing how receptive someone is to your truth. If you’re both able to be open, then so can the discussion.” ~Vex King

“And when you pray tonight…pray for emotional independence. If you’re going to rely on other people to make you happy, your happiness will happen according to their timetable. Be responsible for your own happiness. People are going through a lot…relying on them is a big no.” ~Dr. Moeketsi

“There are 1,000 other high schools, and each one has a vice principal who isn’t you. No, you’re not irreplaceable. No one is, not really. But if we work at it, we might become indispensable. The linchpin, someone who would be missed if they were gone.” ~Seth Godin, Indispensable or irreplaceable 

“He sought to conquer the physical limitations placed upon him by a three-dimensional world (and if Time is the fourth dimension, that too was his province). If he could conquer the weakness, the cowardice in himself, he would not worry about the rest; it would come. Training was a rite of purification; from it came speed, strength. Racing was a rite of death; from it came knowledge.” ~John L. Parker, Jr., Once A Runner

“Nobody expects this, but the fear factor is really big in the NFL…The fear factor takes people out of their game before you even start the snap. It has a lot to do with how I’m able to win at such a high rate. People already have it in their minds that they can’t stick with me, and it’s hard for them to overcome that. Now they’re just trying to soften the blow. They’re not trying to dominate…You need people like me to tell these types of things because it gives a better in-depth look at what the league looks like from the inside…It’s human beings, not superheroes. This isn’t a movie; these are people with real emotions, and fear is one of those emotions. I’m not one of the dudes you know much about. I don’t put a lot out there. With me, they have to go strictly off the film. They know I’m not some joker out here doing a bunch of s--- just for the attention. It’s like a mystery man who is completely dominating everybody. That’s the mindset.” ~Davante Adams, in Davante Adams finds his bliss en route to the Las Vegas Raiders by Tim Keown, ESPN Senior Writer

Last Set:

“In burnout cultures, people are judged by the sacrifices they make. Hobbies, vacations, and even family are viewed as distractions to penalize. In healthy cultures, people are judged by the commitments they keep. Interests outside work are seen as passions to celebrate.” ~Adam Grant

Food For Thought:

“Maybe. Maybe we all are. But I expect you’ll find out in your own way. That’s why I’m going to let you do them by yourself, just the way people do everything that’s important. You can slough off if you want, but by God, you’ll sure as hell know when you’re doing it, wont you.” ~John L. Parker, Jr., Once A Runner

One Last Thing:

There will not be an MML on Monday. Wild to think about, I don’t know the last time I missed a Monday. Nonetheless, I’m focused on Onsite and getting my mind right. The MML’ll be back and better than ever! One love. #Trusttheprocess
