People be tryna figure out why you so blessed whole time you just a genuine person. #KC. 28all. Eya. *OA* The Warm-Up: “You can’t change people. You can inspire, advise, or even warn them but change only happens when they’re ready. Save your energy.” ~Timilehin Bello The Core: “Train your mind to always choose long-term benefits over short-term highs. ~y “It’s actually recommended to disappoint people who never wanted the best for you.” ~Orange Book “The most dangerous competitor isn’t the industry giant but the founder who’s solving the same problem for deeply personal reasons.” ~Alex Hormozi “Life isn’t fair, but you still have to play the game. Some people will have privileges and shortcuts you don’t. Focus on what’s in your control and play to win.” ~Timilehin Bello “When elite universities uploaded all of their courses online for public consumption, we collectively realized that the limiting reagent for global intelligence is not access to information, it’s motivation.” ~Chris Paik “Self-confidence comes in 2 parts: 1) Convincing your mind to see a different perspective that makes self-doubt seem irrational. 2) Doing the uncomfortable thing over and over again until you realize it wasn’t that uncomfortable in the first place.” ~Dan Koe “You can literally feel it in your soul when it’s TIME. Time to move on from people, time to make a change in your life, time to get rid of unhealthy habits, time to want MORE for yourself. At some point, you’ll just KNOW. That’s your call.” ~@bluewmist “Your entire life will change when you realize that anything above zero compounds. That showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. That small things become big things. Never allow optimal to get in the way of beneficial.” ~Sahil Bloom “The best way to improve your writing is not always to write more. It’s often to read more. Instead of just enjoying the content, study the form. Pay attention to how they set up ideas, structure paragraphs, signpost transitions, and shape sentences. Role models elevate art.” ~Adam Grant “The soul is oriented towards obsession: it wants to be possessed by something greater, consummated in a quest, absorbed into a vortex of devotion, and eaten by the feeling of passion. The soul wants to fall in love hard. ‘All addictions are a low-level search for God.’ —Carl Jung.” ~@SchrodingrsBrat “Real freedom can be terrifying. It means making your own choices and dealing with the consequences. So most people settle for a fake kind of freedom. The freedom to not have to decide anything important. But this isn’t freedom. It’s abdication dressed up as liberty. The truly free life requires courage.” ~Kpaxs Last Set: “Some people just get it. you throw ideas in the air, they catch them, toss them back, stretch them, remix them. they understand that thinking is a live process, not a checklist. every conversation feels like a high bandwidth exploration, open-ended, dynamic, fun. my friends are in this category. then there are the ones who default to critique. the ones who immediately point out flaws, who force you to preface everything with disclaimers like ‘this is just a thought experiment, let’s see where it goes man.’ they treat every idea like a proposal up for review instead of a stepping stone to something interesting. the first group is amazing. the second is mostly careerist employees, trained to evaluate rather than create, like a quarterly performance review.” ~@signulll Food For Thought: “Some people get one. Most people don’t. But, if you’re reading this, it means that you’ve received more than one, perhaps a countless number of, little breaks. Access to tools, the benefit of the doubt, decent health, occasional peace of mind. Little breaks. Over and over. Little breaks get you into a room, but they don’t guarantee your performance…Little breaks get you a glimmer of trust or opportunity, they give you a microphone and a chance to share your dream. Little breaks don’t always announce themselves the way big breaks do. Little breaks compound, one often leading to another. Or they don’t, creating false momentum and then disappointment. Sometimes little breaks pretend to be big ones, and sometimes they’re hiding in plain sight. Little breaks are easy to ignore and thus are wasted. Little breaks don’t like being waited for the way big breaks do, because while you’re waiting, you’re wasting the little breaks you’ve already gotten.” ~Seth Godin, Your Big Break
