Change isn’t meant to be easy. It’s meant to rip up your roots and put you in new soil where your roots can deepen. It’s going to be ok in the long run…Walk good. 28all. Eya.

The Warm-Up: 

“Your life isn’t a test to prove yourself to the world (and to yourself). It’s an invitation to love yourself so deeply that your healing has no other option or intention but to help others and the world.” ~Morgan Love

The Core: 

“Competence over credentials.” ~James Clear [3-2-1]

“You don’t need mentors, you need action.” ~Naval Ravikant

“The future is always built by those who don’t wait for permission.” ~Jack Butcher

“It’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” ~Fredrick Douglass

“Walls keep everybody out. Boundaries teach people where the door is.” ~Mark Groves

“While you can get rich sacrificing your health, you cant get wealthy. Wealthy includes healthy.” ~Shane Parrish

“Learning how to relax under pressure is how you make smart decisions when you need them most.” ~Orange Book

“It’s a shame they spent so much energy despising your wings they didn’t take the time to develop theirs.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world to pay him 1.5/20 to own the same growth stocks as everyone and short futures.” ~Paul Enright

“Long term patience is a millennial growth hack. If you can stick at a good thing, for a long time, without letting Instagram convince you that the grass is greener elsewhere, you can go really really far.” ~Steven Bartlett

“That’s why I pass this advice on to everyone I work with: When you update your investors, be honest, tell the whole truth, and give context. Mistakes happen, but no one can help you fix them if you aren’t honest that they’ve been made.” ~Craig Shapiro, Don’t Shine The Turd

“It is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth, God, or love.” ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

“The two biggest psychological limitations for most people are: *Vision *Commitment. Vision: What exactly do you want, and how clear is it to you…and Commitment: What are you willing to do, to make it happen. Sharply Defining the terms is half the battle.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” ~Adyashant

“The best brand always wins. No, it doesn’t. Google is one of the ‘best’ brands in the whole world. How come Google+ failed? Because you can’t take your BRAND and walk into someone else’s category and expect to matter. Categories make brands. Not the other way around.” ~Nicolas Cole

“I told them an artist’s first responsibility was to himself. I said if he kept getting upset with what other people think he ought to do, he never would get too far, or he sure wouldn’t last. I tried to make them see how I had worked all my life to play myself… They said they understood. I hope they did.” ~Miles Davis

“[Success] is not about beating the other guy. It’s not about having more than the others. It’s about being what you are, and being as good as possible at it, without succumbing to all the things that draw you away from it. It’s about going where you set out to go. About accomplishing the most that you’re capable of in what you choose. That’s it. No more and no less.” ~Ryan Holiday, Ego is the Enemy

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. They will practice Indian yoga and all its exercises, observe a strict regimen of diet, learn the literature of the whole world - all because they cannot get on with themselves and have not the slightest faith that anything useful could ever come out of their own souls. Thus the soul has gradually been turned into a Nazareth from which nothing good can come.” ~Carl Jung, Psychology and Alchemy (1952)

Last Set:

“Reminder: You cant use prayer to replace laziness.” ~@mentality

Food For Thought:

“But multiply those mediocre skills together and you get one of the most successful cartoonists of all time [Scott Adams, the Dilbert creator]. A lot of things work like that. A couple ordinary things you don’t notice on their own create something spectacular when they mix together at the right time… The ability to endure risk vs. assuming you can avoid it. / Valuing your independence over someone else’s priorities. / Quitting while you’re ahead before you’ve exhausted or outgrown what made you successful. / Identifying what game you’re playing and not being persuaded by people playing different games.” ~Morgan Housel, Big Skills
