Consistency of efforts beats unfocused talent. #Orangebook...Walk good. 28all. Eya. *KO, AJ, JW* The Warm-Up: “Growth can require different things in different seasons. At times, growth requires gathering yourself and running for your life. In other times, growth requires resisting the pull to run, settling your spirit, breathing, and planting roots. Know your season.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant The Core: “Healing isn’t about getting away from the pain, it’s about getting through it.” ~Thibaut “Feeling entitled is a common sign of immaturity. No one owes you anything.” ~Orange Book “ ‘How is your love life,’ he said. ‘It’s wonderful,’ I said, ‘my whole life is love.’” ~Maryam Hasnaa “People who was raised on love see the world differently from people raised on survival.” ~Tupac Shakur “Whenever there is a gap between your habits and your goals, your habits will always win.” ~James Clear “You learn much faster once you stop convincing yourself that you are not smart enough.” ~Orange Book “Stop apologizing for wanting more. When you grow, people in your life have to step up or step out.” ~Anonymous, have seen it from multiple sources “It is self-righteous to insist that someone must not care about a social issue if they don’t choose to display their concern in the way you do.” ~Ayishat Akanbi “You will never know in life which moments will be crystallized in your mind forever, which is why every moment needs to be seized and handled with great care.” ~Andrew Jopling “If you’re confused why asking for 5 minutes of someone’s time leads to the same low response rate as asking for an hour, it’s because you’re thinking in terms of time and they’re thinking in terms of their energy.” ~Sahil Lavingia “The road to socialism via inflation: print money, crash the reserve currency, destroy savers, and force them into inflated assets / asset inflation leads to inequality. Demonize asset holders and tax the nominal gains, thereby confiscating the real value of the assets.” ~Naval Ravikant “Making positive changes to your life can feel really complicated. But the one factor that determines your future circumstances more than any other is simply how you decide to spend your time today. Your time is an irreplaceable currency, it’s time to start investing it wisely.” ~Steven Bartlett “I know they told you nеver come back again ‘cause you did too much / You made too much of a mess / But His blood is strong enough / The Father stands with open arms and open wounds / And He’s speaking over you, ‘What came out of Me is strong enough’ / For your addiction and your depression / Your frustration and your confusion / His blood still is strong enough…” ~Maverick City Music & UPPERROOM, Your Blood Is Strong Enough “Some people get one. Most people don’t. But, if you’re reading this, it means that you’ve received more than one, perhaps a countless number of, little breaks. Access to tools, the benefit of the doubt, decent health, occasional peace of mind. Little breaks. Over and over. Little breaks get you into a room, but they don’t guarantee your performance. Little breaks get you a glimmer of trust or opportunity, they give you a microphone and a chance to share your dream. Little breaks don’t always announce themselves the way big breaks do. Little breaks compound, one often leading to another. Or they don’t, creating false momentum and then disappointment. Sometimes little breaks pretend to be big ones, and sometimes they’re hiding in plain sight. Little breaks are easy to ignore and thus are wasted. Little breaks don’t like being waited for the way big breaks do, because while you’re waiting, you’re wasting the little breaks you’ve already gotten.” ~Seth Godin, Your Big Break Last Set: “America’s infrastructure mirrors America’s leadership. Leadership is about vision, care, priorities rooted in a strategy for the people to take us higher, to make us safe, and prepare us for our future. We need leadership that cares more about people and less about press releases.” ~John White Food for Thought: “The thing that we need in the world today is a group of men and women who will stand up for right and to be opposed to wrong, wherever it is. A group of people who have come to see that some things are wrong, whether they’re never caught up with. And some things are right, whether nobody sees you doing them or not. It is not enough to know that two and two makes four, but we’ve got to know somehow that it’s right to be honest and just with our brothers. It’s not enough to know all about our philosophical and mathematical disciplines, but we’ve got to know the simple disciplines of being honest and loving and just with all humanity. If we don’t learn it, we will destroy ourselves by the misuse of our own powers. It’s possible to affirm the existence of God with your lips and deny his existence with your life. The most dangerous type of atheism is not theoretical atheism, but practical atheism […]. And the world, even the church, is filled up with people who pay lip service to God and not life service. And there is always a danger that we will make it appear externally that we believe in God when internally we don’t. We say with our mouths that we believe in him, but we live with our lives like he never existed.” ~Martin Luther King Jr. Blog Post:
