Index fingers at the sky…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *KB*

The Warm-Up: 

“The game is gonna test you, never fold. Stay ten toes down. It’s not on you, it’s in you. And what’s in you, they can’t take away…” ~Nipsey Hussle

The Core: 

“I am not your competition. I might be bettering myself but I am also cheering you on.” ~Vex King

“I asked my friend Sam to sing a song about the iPhone…And then Samsung.” ~@ThePunnyWorld

“Be like family to your friends, a friend to strangers, and a stranger to your enemies.” ~Naval Ravikant

“Not every beautiful experience is to be shared or talked about. Some experiences are [sacredly] only yours.” ~Lalah Delia

“The ideal form of work feels like play, but still accomplishes something useful and valuable. Joyful for you. Helpful to others.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

“Being who you were sent here to be, regardless of your past experiences, is a sacred reward empowered by divine grace and higher purpose.” ~Lalah Delia

“Lots of overnight tragedies and no overnight miracles so the headlines are usually bad even if the slow compounding of good news wins over time.” ~Morgan Housel

“Poor communicators ramble. Good communicators leave out unnecessary details. Great communicators treat words as the scarcest commodity.” ~Morgan Housel, Rare Skills

“It’s so fun when a company is doing far better than external perception and everyone who works there has the shared secret of knowing they are going to crush it.” ~Sam Altman

“I’m not really afraid of rejection or abandonment, I’m more worried about conformity and compliance that comes from trying to stay connected to the wrong people.” ~Maryam Hasnaa

“Everyone is heavily influenced by what they’ve experienced firsthand, because what you’ve experienced is more persuasive than something you read about.” ~Morgan Housel, Rare Skills

“No matter what the world is saying, I have to remember that I am who I am stay true to that. That’s what Naruto did, and that’s what I’m going to do.” ~Zion Williamson, on learning from Naruto

“There are nearly 8 billion people out there. They don’t know you exist, and they don’t care. You matter less than you think. Stop worrying about making mistakes, jump before you are consumed by regrets.” ~Orange Book

“Understanding that you might have the vision but not all the tools, and recruiting those that have the tools to execute your vision, is vital. Kill the ego so you can execute instead of holding onto hubris so you can claim you ‘knew’ but never actually did anything.” ~Joe Holder

“I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. All these and other factors combined, if the circumstances are right, can teach and can lead to rebirth.” ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead​

“Nick rose. Held by the dark. Seized into the void because he hadn’t been bad enough to go to hell or good enough to ascend to heaven and he was only here. His sole accomplishment had been to survive and even that seemed like an accident. He had always imagined being alone to be the same thing as being at peace but he knew that was a lie. And the only time he had not felt alone was in the attic in Paris and even then he would not let go and let it become a part of his life.” ~Michael Farris Smith, Nick

“The math is simple: many people do less than they should. They might be selfish, but it’s likely that they’re struggling with a lack of resources or a story of insufficiency. Either way, in any community or organization, many people contribute less than their peers. Whether it’s splitting a check, getting a project done or making an impact on the culture or a cause, if you want things to get better, the only way is to be prepared to do more than your fair share. Because we need to make up for the folks who don’t.” ~Seth Godin, More than your share

Last Set:

“The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about.” ~Anonymous

Food For Thought:

“But Sean’s ambition is more than just something he’s carried with him since he was a boy. It’s a force without a clear destination, both toxic and enriching, rooted in trying to be great at a coin flip of a game and addicted to the high of the feeling of improvement, even if -- especially if – it’s invisible to the outside world. As a kid, he was exposed to football’s blessings and costs, and he internalized not the hokey sanitized version of the game but what it truly takes to author a legend. Some of Sean’s earliest memories are of attending San Francisco 49ers walk-throughs with his grandfather -- former executive and five-time champion John McVay -- and speaking with Steve Young and Jerry Rice. But Sean also watched his own father steer away from that life, aware of its dangers.” ~Seth Wickersham, ESPN Senior Writer; Welcome to the Sean McVay Moment: Inside the pressures that brought him to the pinnacle and why satisfaction is still so hard to come by
