I look at another person doing better than me, I get motivated. You look at another person doing better than you, and you get irritated. We are not the same. #lionlaw.…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *TH, KO* The Warm-Up: “You’re not late. You’re on time. The process was preparation. Your journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s and often will not match the timeline you created. Less shame and judgement. More breath, compassion, and acceptance. Now you’re ready.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant The Core: “Simplicity is the end result of long, hard work, not the starting point.” ~Frederick Maitland “If the average person said what they were thinking, they’d be speechless.” ~Earl Nightingale “Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth.” ~Alfred Marshall “I break my own heart by expecting people to be as attached to me as I am to them.” ~Unknown “‘How did you accomplish that?’ ‘Same as everything else. Gradually, then all at once.’” ~James Clear, 3-2-1: 4/29/21 “Everyone occasionally thinks about giving up. The key is to not do it, take a break, come back stronger.” ~Orange Book “We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.” ~John Archibald Wheeler “I honestly believe there’s no player like myself. And if people want to take it for granted, then sorry for them.” ~Russell Westbrook, on if his triple-doubles are taken for granted “It’s not what they say about you that limits you the most, it’s that you might believe them and start saying that to yourself…There were many, many, many people who said that I would never be anything, I just chose not to be one of them.” ~Bishop T.D. Jakes “Acknowledging racism doesn’t = divisiveness. However, racism = divisiveness, destruction, danger, and dehumanization. Imagine the humane, just, peaceful, and equitable policies and practices we could put in place if the energy used for denial was channeled into deconstruction.” ~Bernice King “Caring too much about too many things will destroy you. Energy and peace are limited resources that will make you depressed and anxious if you spend them poorly. Choose your battles, let provocateurs leave empty-handed and always value your energy more than a pointless victory.” ~Steven Bartlett “Academia is to knowledge what prostitution is to love; close enough on the surface but, to the nonsucker, not exactly the same thing…I need a qualifier here. There are exceptions, but there are also many known cases in which a prostitute falls in love with a client.” ~Nassim Nichola Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes “Bill [Azir] believed that people break into two buckets. Some come at life as a series of transactions. And some people come at life as about building relationships. You can have a successful life doing transactions, but the only way to have a great life is on the relationship side. Bill just instilled in me and modeled for me that in the end, it is really about deep relationships and doing things you love with people you love and those connections.” ~Jim Collins, Ep. #110: Relationships vs. Transactions on The Knowledge Project by Shane Parrish “On their own, ideas are largely worthless—discovering whether or not you can actually make them work in reality is the most important job of any entrepreneur. Don’t be shy about showing potential customers your work in progress. Unless you work in an industry with unusually aggressive, competent, and well-funded competitors, you really don’t have to worry about other people ‘stealing’ your idea. Ideas are cheap—what comes is the ability to translate an idea into reality, which is much more difficult than recognizing a good idea.” ~Josh Kaufman, The Personal MBA Last Set: “A mass noun is one that doesn’t take an S when we have more. ‘Butter’ and ‘Information’ are both uncountable in use, because when we only have only one unit of butter (or information) we use the same word as if we have four or six units. Butter is butter. Uncountable words are understandably difficult to measure at a glance. They don’t fit easily into the industrial mindset, and we’re often pushed to find things that are less mysterious. But it turns out that uncountable words like trust, honesty, commitment, passion, connection and quality are a fine thing to focus on.” ~Seth Godin, Uncountable
