You’re getting better every day, and the reps you’re doing are making you stronger at the foundational level, not just on the surface. #TM. Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JH, KO, AW, TS, PR, MW* The Warm-Up: “Set the intention, give it attention, allow for incubation, time the activation.” ~Tom Brady on Instagram, SEPTEMBER 9, 2020…Wow. The Core: “Pride must die in you, or nothing of Heaven can live in you.” ~Andrew Murray “You can’t build something that lasts with shortcuts and hacks.” ~Shane Parrish “A simple rule for life and work: Don’t rush, but don’t wait. Thoughtful action.” ~James Clear “Half of your intelligence lies in knowing the things you are stupid about.” ~Solomon Short “ ‘I prayed for you’ is one of the realist compliments you can give / receive.” ~Matt Gottesman “The road to changing the world Is never-ending--pace yourself.” ~Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers “The shortest road to freedom is the truth. It is the best way to get to where you’re going.” ~Tavares Bussey “We think we want sex. It’s not always about sex. It’s intimacy we want. To be touched. Looked at. Admired. Smiled at. Laugh with someone. Feel safe. Feel like someone’s really got you. That’s what we crave.” ~Anonymous “God sends people my way, they don’t come to me…I said ‘God, what’s the meaning of that?’ And God said, ‘Find the bigot in you.’” ~Dr. Edith Eger on Recognizing the Choices and Gifts in Our Lives, Unlocking Us w/ Brene Brown “People tend to favor the familiar over the unfamiliar. The devil we know over the one we don’t. The problem is that personal growth requires some courage and discomfort. When we stick with the familiar, we limit ourselves and our potential.” ~Thibaut “When people lose money, lots of money, they don’t blame themselves. They blame others. They blame the system. I’ve been trying to raise questions about the system. But right now, nobody is interested because there is too much money to be made. Until there isn’t.” ~Andrew Ross Sorkin “Stop blaming others for not giving you what you need. And stop basing your well-being on how others feel about you or what they have to offer you. Take the time to learn how you can be there for yourself. It’s no one’s job to make you feel whole. It’s no one’s job to silence the voices within you. You owe that to yourself.” ~Najwa Zebian “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging work is not transactional. It’s relational, if it’s going to be transformational. So, let me say that again, that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging work is not transactional. If you want it to be transformational, it has to be relational.” ~Aiko Bethea on Creating Transformative Cultures, with Brené Brown on Dare to Lead Podcast “When I’m writing, I am trying to find out who I am, who we are, what we’re capable of, how we feel, how we lose and stand up, and go on from darkness into darkness. I’m trying for that. But I’m also trying for the language. I’m trying to see how it can really sound. I really love language. I love it for what it does for us, how it allows us to explain the pain and the glory, the nuances and the delicacies of our existence.” ~Maya Angelou, (@_nitch) “One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. ‘Good’ is no longer good when one’s neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a ‘common good!’ The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil “You’ll have a difficult time becoming wealthy by getting paid for your time. You have to get paid for the value you provide others through your unique knowledge, multiplied by the leverage you place on it. The returns from this sort of work—amplified by the internet—are compounding. This increases the importance of logical decision-making. When the results of your decisions are non-linear, it amplifies their impact.” ~Jonathan Bales, The Eight Most Impactful Concepts That Changed My Life (And 30 Other Important Ideas) Last Set: “Things you control: Your efforts. Your beliefs. Your identity. Your actions. Your attitude. Your integrity. Your thoughts. The food you eat. How kind you are. The media you read. How reflective you are. How thoughtful you are. The people you listen to. The type of friend you are.” ~Shane Parrish Food for Thought: “To respond to our requests and needs God deputizes God’s creations to serve as our angels. During slavery, St. Peter Claver, a Spaniard, ministered to enslaved individuals as they arrived at South American ports after a nightmarish trans-Atlantic voyage, during which one-third of them died. The former slave Harriet Tubman, conductor on the Underground Railroad had a codename of Moses and never lost a ‘passenger’ as she led numerous slaves to ‘heaven,’ a codeword for Canada. Representative of a host of dynamic white female abolitionists, Lydia Maria Child, a prolific anti-slavery author, incurred scorn, censure, and financial ruin resulting from her radical views. In honor of the Trinity, I picked these three angels, but there were many more deputies who received and accepted assignments...Fast forward, we–as a nation–are riddled with the residue and virus of American slavery as manifested by systemic racism, bias, and inequality. May we respond individually and collectively when called upon to accept our divine assignment to “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.” ~David Krashna Notre Dame ‘71, Daily Gospel Reflection, 2/25/21 Blog Post:
