Officially, the holiday is known as Washington’s Birthday, as it usually falls around George Washington’s February 22 date of birth.” ~Ramishah Maruf, CNN [Presidents Day quiz!How well do you know this popular holiday?] The Warm-Up: “A partner who has the courage to heal their childhood wounds, who can forgive themselves, and who can give you grace as you learn love beyond survival mode is one of life’s greatest gifts.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera The Core: “Journaling is praying on paper. And every prayer is heard.” ~Dr. G.V. Sundeep “Stop apologizing for the way your growth makes other people feel.” ~Nate Postlethwait “I don’t worry about it too much, because I will be dead.” ~Charlie Munger, on long-term valuations “It’s a miraculous thing to believe for amazing when you’ve been surrounded by mediocre. I hope you keep believing. Greater is coming.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “I covered these dudes…everybody universally respects LeBron…but they feared Jordan.” ~Stephen A. Smith on the MJ-LeBron debate (via Full Send Podcast) “The cost of being who you are is conflict with those that would have you be someone else. The cost of being what others want you to be is conflict within yourself.” ~Shane Parrish “People gauge their well-being relative to those around them, and luxuries become necessities in a remarkably short period of time when the people around you become better off.” ~Morgan Housel “Human beings are primarily self-serving, or in it for themselves. When you make peace with this, life becomes less disappointing.

There is no perfect day. There is no right time. For the trajectory to change, there has to be one day when you simply make the choice.” ~James Clear “Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach...What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing.” ~Clarissa Pinkola Estes “To gain insight and eventually wisdom, we need to reinvest our knowledge and let it compound. One way to do that is to be more deliberate about identifying how our past experiences can improve our chances of success in future ones.” ~Shane Parrish, The Great Mental Models, Vol. 3 “A bad boss, selfish colleagues or a toxic culture can ruin a ‘dream’ role, whereas agreeable workmates can make even mundane work enjoyable. When selecting a job, two of the most important questions you should consider is whether you think you will be able to make friends with these people, and if the culture of the organization seems supportive.” ~Steven Bartlett, Happy Sexy Millionaire “Compounding follows a power law, and power laws are magical things. Knowledge, experience, and relationships compound. When it comes to our personal capabilities, there are few limits to the possibilities suggested by this model. As with compound interest, most of the gains come at the end, not at the beginning. You have to keep reinvesting your returns to experience the exponential growth that is compounding.” ~Shane Parrish, The Great Mental Models, Vol. 3 Last Set: “Many of the real power moves happen internally. When you shift from one way of doing or seeing things to another. When you heal from something that kept you from being your full self. Mastering more of who you are. And no one will know what means but you.” ~Sole
