The Warm-Up:

“I’m not coming for everything ‘they’ said I couldn’t have. I’m allowing for everything God always wanted for me. Those are two very different mindsets.” ~Matt Gottesman

The Core:

“Affirm: my money don’t jiggle jiggle. It folds.” ~Michell C Clarke

“Appreciate those who show up for you. Presence is a gift.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“The probability of being able to outperform increases with patience.” ~Shane Parrish

“Formal education is not nearly as important as an unquenchable thirst to lean.” ~James Clear

“ ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ is such a funny branding for what is the tautological definition of a loan.” ~@imajakestream

“Everyone can achieve much more than the think, but it always takes much more time than they would like.” ~Orange Book

“Removing yourself from shit that continually triggers your mental health and hurts your heart is top tier self-care.” ~@_Pammy_DS_

“Selling is like dating. If you chase: you won’t get what you want. If you’re desperate: you won’t get what you want. You win when you don’t need the relationship and have what the other person is looking for.” ~Jeremy Lee Miner

“It’s unfortunate to see tons of smart and young people lose their humility when they encounter some early success. Lack of humility slows down feedback loops and makes some of the smartest become mentally stagnant.” ~Kunal Shah

“You know how life was five years ago. You know how it was ten years ago. The trend is obvious. You can’t lie to yourself about your results. If you are satisfied, keep going. If not, rebuild yourself by changing your habits. Life gets better as you get better.” ~Orange Book

“In shallow communities, status is based on outer appearances. You gain influence by accumulating money, power, and prestige. In deep communities, status is based on inner character. You earn respect by becoming a person of generosity, integrity, curiosity, and humility.” ~Adam Grant

“Something every nerdy kid needs to know: As people mature, they’ll be drawn to you more for how you think than how you look. In adulthood, there’s no higher compliment than being someone’s brain crush. They’re attracted to your vibrant mind, not the container it comes in.” ~Adam Grant

“For days, the world stood still. I didn’t speak, watch TV, or listen to the radio. I’d been given a week off work, so there were no necessary human encounters. Only Silence and me. Silence isn’t always quiet though. It troubles a man’s soul, forcing him to admit what he’d rather forget.” ~Daniel Black, Don’t Cry For Me

“Smart is no longer memorization. It’s not worth much. Smart is no longer access to information. Everyone has that. Smart is: Situational awareness | Clarity of goals | Good taste | Empathy for others | The ability to make decisions that further your goals. The good news is that smart is a choice, and smart is a skill.” ~Seth Godin, Are You Smart

Last Set:

“The older you get, the more you realize it’s not about who knows you the longest, it’s about who makes you feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, supported and loved…Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is be quiet and keep low-key, even if you have a lot to say.” ~@MindTendencies2
