Chop wood and carry water…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “You don’t hear much from happy people, because once you are living the life you want, you keep a low profile, you keep your life private.” ~Orange Book The Core: “Consistency is worth 10 IQ points.” ~Shane Parrish “An apology is undone when it comes with an excuse. A compliment is negated when it comes with an ask.” ~Shane Parrish “If you added up all the time wasted searching for shortcuts and trying to cheat the process, the hard work could have already been done by now.” ~James Clear “Those who benefited from your insecurity will not be happy about your healing and growth. Keep going anyway. Keep growing regardless…” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “The most common reward for a promotion is more work, more stress, and a bit more money. What’s the point of winning a game with terrible prizes.” ~Justin Welsh “Been thinking a lot about ‘invisible labor’ that essentially keeps society running and how we take it for granted. Be thankful man, a lot of people work in the mud to make life easier for us.” ~Joe Holder “The ‘do good, but I hope you don’t do better than me’ kind of connections aren’t much of a connection at all. I hope you’re able to discern between the people that help in your elevation and those that clip your wings with their energy.” ~Billy Chapata “I want simple. I want ease. I want peace. I want harmony. I want an existence not beleaguered by the noise and things we think we need in order to get free. The accumulation of things is tiring. Excess is boring. Love is the now and the future.” ~Joel Leon “You must not be afraid of your uniqueness, and you must care less and less what people think of you. You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be.” ~@ProfFeynman “ ‘Never give up’ must be the most misguided advice. ‘Never get ruined’ is a lot wiser. There is no guarantee that destiny will reward you if you blindly persevere in the wrong direction. Avoiding ruin requires abandoning useless pursuits. i.e., Giving up.” ~Daniel Vassallo “As I grow older, I realize safety is the ultimate luxury. Can I let you inside my head without you judging me? Can I share my world with you? Can I trust you to be there when I fall? Or to be still when I fall back? Will you keep what’s special between us – between us?” ~Reyna Biddy “Focus is the modern superpower. Most people are busy building others dreams with little care for their own. A plan was laid out at birth, and they followed without question. Create your plan, self-educate for clarity, and execute like your life depends on it. Because it does.” ~Dan Koe “The longer you play the short game, the harder things get. The longer you play the long game, the better the rewards. This happens because as the accumulation of tiny advantages makes the future easier, but the accumulation of tiny disadvantages makes the future harder.” ~Farnum Street “Good writing should flow like water. Every word must serve the purpose of leading to the next. One sentence to the next, one page to the next. Be continuous, but also be concise; do not waste words. Good writers say more with less. Good books are over before you even know it.” ~@SchrodingersBrat Last Set: “Don’t serve the algorithms. Make them serve you instead. Algorithms rule the information world. First, we shape them, then they shape us. The challenge is knowing how to align yourself with their nuclear influence without becoming a robotic drone who serves code instead of people.” ~David Perell Food For Thought: “Your brand is your moat. To truly own something, it is hard. Big companies think they differentiate because of unique ingredients, but those can be easily replicated. Your brand is your unique tone of voice & marketing style. It is the thing that other people can’t replicate.” ~Andy Mewborn
