And the dirt that they threw on my name / Turned to soil and I grew up out it / Time for y’all to figure out what y’all gon’ do about it…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *AY, CS* The Warm-Up: “What they hate in you, is missing in them. Keep shining.” ~Daniel Chidiac The Core: “You only control the effort, not the results.” ~Ryan Holiday “The rarest of human qualities is consistency.” ~Jeremy Bentham “What desire starts discipline continues and ritual cements.” ~Shane Parrish “Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own.” ~Marcus Aurelius “We’re all so desperate to be understood, we forget to be understanding.” ~Beau Taplin “Patience is not the ability to wait but how you act while you’re waiting.” ~Joyce Meyer “Too much comfort will sedate your mind. Focus comes from a place of discomfort.” ~Orange Book “The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress and grows brave by reflection.” ~Thomas Paine “As you heal, your attractions change too. Toxicity stops looking like excitement, and peace stops look boredom.” ~@thirdeyethoughts “Some people will judge you for changing. Others will celebrate you for growing. Choose your circle carefully.” ~@bl.ack.magic.wo.man “A man who has to walk on egg shells to keep peace, will eventually become so skilled at it, that he makes no sound in life.” ~Mr. Jason Wilson “I know life has been difficult for you lately, and your mind has been a complete mess, but I am proud of you for showing up regardless. ~breathingsofheart “Good marketing can sell once, but only a good product can sell twice. In the long run, your performance reverts to the value you provide.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 “If your goal is to be respected, it’s important to know that humility, graciousness, intelligence, and empathy tend to generate more respect, than a job title, owning a sports car or being attractive ever will.” ~Steve Bartlett “I read once that the true mark of a pro — at anything — is that he understands, loves, and is good at even the drudgery of his profession.” ~Paul Halmos, on what distinguishes the best from the rest, I Want to be a Mathematician “To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter...to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring…these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” ~John Burroughs (@_nitch) “Moments & Seasons. The journey has its moments and seasons. Some will feel like everything is in order while others may feel like nothing is going as planned. Some will be filled with clarity and direction while others may seem misaligned. Some will feel focused while others may feel distracted. But…All moments and seasons are divinely timed. And that’s where we must surrender so that we can allow all moments and seasons to bring us exactly what we need; exactly what we are being prepared for.” ~Matt Gottesman Last Set: “I decided that whatever they might think of me I was probably the finest pianist they’d ever hear, so I was going to present myself as such...I put on my best long chiffon gown, fixed my make-up and hair just like I always did and went to work…Each song, which isn’t the right way to describe what I was playing, lasted anywhere between thirty and ninety minutes. I just sat down, closed my eyes and drifted away on the music. On my first night, one song I played lasted for three hours without a break. The guys in the bar were used to pianists playing no more than half a dozen tunes in each set and usually repeating the same set over and over. When I played they never heard the same song twice in a night, and when I was really flying they didn’t hear the same song once. I used no sheet music because it was all in my head. Between sets I sat on my own at the bar, drinking milk in my long chiffon gown. Nobody said a word to me all night.” ~Nina Simone (@_nitch) :: We appreciate your readership.
