Shoutout to all the folks that ran the NYC Marathon – love it!...28all. Eya. *EL* The Warm-Up: “Mastery is the best goal because the rich can’t buy it, the impatient can’t rush it, the privileged can’t inherit it, and nobody can steal it. You can only earn it through hard work. Mastery is the ultimate status.” ~Derek Sivers, How to Live: 27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion The Core: “Do what works, in your own way, without getting in your own way.” ~Dan Koe “They’ll eventually realize your worth. But by then, you’ll be worth more.” ~@unkonfined “If a man understands time and season, he will never envy another man’s success.” ~@DearS_o_n “As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.” ~Andrew Carnegie “It’s not the battles we lose that bother me. It’s the ones we don’t suit up for.” ~Toby Ziegler, The West Wing “Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence.” ~Alan Watts “Internet is your best friend if you have focus / discipline. But it is your worst enemy if you lack self-control.” ~Saurabh “You can’t separate yourself from your humanity no matter what you do for a living.” ~President Jed Bartlet, The West Wing “Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.” ~James Clear “The most powerful habit you can adopt: Using the first hour of your day to build, write, or produce something of value.” ~Dan Koe “Deep mutual respect and trust make some relationships antifragile. When stressed, they grow stronger. Rare, beautiful, and treasured.” ~Eric Jorgenson “They never learned the simple truth that, while you can buy your way to growth, you absolutely cannot buy your way to greatness. Two big mediocrities joined together never make one great company.” ~Jim Collins, Good to Great “You can tell that someone is unlikely to succeed in the long run when they regularly get offended. The world doesn’t care about your feelings, it only cares about whether you are capable of taking criticism with humility, and reorient yourself towards a better trajectory.” ~Orange Book “Don’t curse the obstacle; find a way around it. Elite special forces don’t complain about defenses—they adapt their tactics or create new ones. When a primary route is compromised, they don’t waste time lamenting. They quickly shift to another approach. Elite athletes don’t complain about defenses—they find the gap or create one. Face the obstacle. Find the gap. Or make one.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food, #601 “As Collins’ wrote: [To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. It requires the discipline to say, ‘Just because we are good at it—just because we’re making money and generating growth—doesn’t necessarily mean we can become the best at it.’ The good-to-great companies understood that doing what you are good at will only make you good; focusing solely on what you can potentially do better than any other organization is the only path to greatness.] Again, this reinforces the ability to turn down the volume, even if you’re good at something, to hone in on what could potentially lead to greatness. In some cases, greatness also means oneness as it requires a kind of humble discipleship to your own individual gifts.” ~Sean Legister, Relationships Run The World Last Set: “My entire life changed when I realized that preparation always beats planning. Planning is based on the expectation of order. Preparation is based on the expectation of chaos. Plan for order and you’ll be destroyed by chaos. Prepare for chaos and you’ll thrive in any condition.” ~Sahil Bloom Food For Thought: “Secret hint: Compliment people behind their back. Do it often. Thank me later.” ~Atlas
