“I got you…is a love language.” #MattGottesman.... 28all. Eya. *AL* The Warm-Up: “A relationship without trust is like having a phone with no service. And what do you do with a phone with no service? You play games.” ~Anonymous The Core: “Productivity without outcomes is not productivity.” ~Kpaxs “I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.” ~Carl Jung “The stock market is designed to transfer money from the active to the patient.” ~Warren Buffett “Sometimes we don’t want to heal because the pain is the last link to what we’ve lost.” ~JM Storm “We must not wish for the disappearance of our troubles, but the grace to transform them.” ~Simone Weil “Only the weak rest on their laurels and dote on past triumphs; in the game of power there is never time to rest.” ~Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power “Progress is never permanent, will always be threatened, must be redoubled, restated, and reimagined if it is to survive.” ~Zadie Smith’s speech on receiving the 2016 Welt Literature Prize in Berlin, November 10, 2016 “A gentle reminder: You don’t have to be the ‘bigger person.’ You don’t have to accept insincere apologies. You don’t have to tolerate relationships that drain you. You don’t have to show up for people who have no interest in showing up for you.” ~Michell C. Clark “The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine who you want to be.” ~Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God “If you change your mind too frequently, it suggests that you do not think carefully and responsibly before formulating an opinion & don’t know when to remain silent or neutral. If you never change your mind on anything, it indicates that you are intellectually dishonest.” ~Nassim Nicholas Taleb “Marriage isn’t that complicated if you choose the right person: someone who also value(s) loyalty, kindness, respect, with a similar vision of the future. Someone who doesn’t try to change you but who focuses on bettering themselves. Someone who was already happy alone before you met.” ~Orange Book “When you’re gathering information, your job is to see the world through other people’s eyes. You’re trying to understand their experience and how they processed it. You can learn valuable information even when you don’t agree with their view of the world. Just ask questions, keep your thoughts to yourself, and remain curious about other perspectives.” ~Shane Parrish, Clear Thinking
“Many people dream of achieving goals. They measure their progress by the status they acquire and the accolades they collect. But the gains that count the most are the hardest to count. The most meaningful growth is not building our careers—it’s building our character. Success is more than reaching our goals—it’s living our values. There’s no higher value than aspiring to be better tomorrow than we are today. There’s no greater accomplishment than unleashing our hidden potential.” ~Adam Grant, Hidden Potential
“Permanent information is harder to notice because it’s buried in books rather than blasted in headlines. But its benefit is huge. It’s not just that permanent information never expires, letting you accumulate it. It also compounds over time, leveraging off what you’ve already learned. Expiring information tells you what happened; permanent information tells you why something happened and is likely to happen again. That ‘why’ can translate and interact with stuff you know about other topics, which is where compounding comes in.” ~Morgan Housel, Same As Ever Last Set: “A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but the one who creates the most leaders.” ~Neale Donald Walsch Food For Thought: “I used this one [on May, 20th, 2020, July 29th, 2019, and before that on Dec 18th, 2015] …I used it again in the middle of [2015]…And as we inch closer to the end of [‘23], I want to make sure I repeat it. Like reading a book or watching a movie for the second, or third time…you may be in a different season of life. I know this will resonate with someone. Holla.” “Knowing what you deserve is pointless if you aren’t disciplined enough to wait for it. Trying to force it equals settling. The desire for things to be easy is the main reason people rarely get anything worth keeping. Trust, loyalty, and love are all earned. You don’t automatically get them just because you’re a good person. You have to show you deserve it. What are you willing to earn? How much effort are you willing to put forth in order to get that happiness and love you say you deserve? Do you want it easy or do you want it forever? Effort is everything. You have to commit to building a solid foundation. Learn how to let that pride go, it will always hurt you sooner and more often than Love does. It’s okay to be scared, nervous, or uncertain because time is a teacher. And…When it’s real, there’s no need to rush. Take it slow. Keep it honest. Don’t play games.” ~Rob Hill Sr.
