Bearing witness…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “Spectators will always assume the content of your story based on the filter of their story. Don’t stress about what they think. Remember your pen is in your hands.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant The Core: “Countless dreams killed fearing judgement of people who wouldn’t even care.” ~Kunal Shah “Being able to give someone space is one of the major cheat codes to a healthy partnership.” ~Maryam Hasnaa “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.” ~Buddha “Do you actually need more information or do you simply need to act on the information you already have?” ~James Clear “My favorite marketing strategy for startups is just being super consistent because there are no silver bullets.” ~Andrew Gazdecki “If we could see the whole truth of any situation, our only response would be one of compassion.” ~Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche “Don’t take it personally when an old friend grows in another direction. Don’t feel guilty either. They have their path, you have yours.” ~Orange Book “When faced with a choice, ask yourself not ‘what is the right decision’ but rather ‘which decision will get me closer to the kind of person I want to be.’” ~Kpaxs “The real flex is pausing before reacting, observing without evaluating, interacting without absorbing, and calmly controlling how you respond to things sent to trigger your mental health.” ~@MindTendencies2 “Building the hardest habits is less about tracking, and far more about nailing commitment in the moment. Finding the tools for those moments is the sauce. Your tracking device is nice, but the choices you make is where the rubber meets the road.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Saying ‘I may be wrong’ is not a mark of ignorance. It reveals the absence of insecurity. Arrogance is a shield for a fragile ego. Humility is a sign of self-assurance. It takes confidence to admit uncertainty. The people who are the most sure are usually the most insecure.” ~Adam Grant “The art of feedback isnt taught. People are terrified of it, even though there’s nothing more action-inspiring than thoughtful, specific, and sincere criticism. Great CEOs are masters at this. The people who work for them feel better after they’ve received direct feedback.” ~David Perell “Mature relationships are not about getting it right every single time. They are about embracing the fact that each person has a lot of growing to do and loving each other through the process. You both handle conflict by trying to understand each other instead of being combative.” ~Yung Pueblo “Social media has compounded and spread this virus of dissatisfaction, which is why the world is now populated by damaged people consuming airy gratification, hunting an immediate dopamine fix with no substance at all behind it. Instead of staying focused on growth, millions of minds have been infected with lack, leaving them feeling even lesser than. Their internal dialogue becomes that much more toxic, as this population of weak-ass, entitled victims of life itself multiples.” ~David Goggins, Never Finished Last Set: “Well, I pray that the universe | Gives you way more than you deserve | And when the tears fall like shooting stars | Remember who you are | Just look up to the sky, you’ll see | I’m coming back for you…” ~Fireboy DML, Coming Back For You, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Food For Thought: “Your power is your full expression. Meaning, no truth is left hidden or silenced anymore. Your full expression is like watching a rolled up, crouched down eagle, rise up and spread its wings, leaving it fully revealed. Frightening and majestic all at the same time. The more you reveal yourself, the more people around you will be asked to examine their unexpressed parts. And not everyone wants to do that. So they criticize you, laugh at your thoughts and desires, and convince you that you are crazy.” ~Nikki Novo Food For Thought II: “Everything’s been done before. The scenes change but the behaviors and outcomes don’t. Historian Niall Ferguson’s plug for his profession is that, ‘The dead outnumber the living 14 to 1, and we ignore the accumulated experience of such a huge majority of mankind at our peril.’ The biggest lesson from the 100 billion people who are no longer alive is that they tried everything we’re trying today. The details were different, but they tried to outwit entrenched competition. They swung from optimism to pessimism at the worst times. They battled unsuccessfully against reversion to the mean. They learned that popular things seem safe because so many people are involved, but they’re most dangerous because they’re most competitive. Same stuff that guides today, and will guide tomorrow. History is abused when specific events are used as a guide to the future. It’s way more useful as a benchmark for how people react to risk and incentives, which is pretty stable over time.” ~Morgan Housel, Ideas That Changed My Life :: We appreciate your readership.
