..Busy is not the same as healed.#Dr.Thema…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *JF, LS*

The Warm-Up: 

“Your purpose is NOT uncertain…you are. Don’t let the human in you talk you out of the soul in you.” ~Matt Gottesman

The Core: 

“What entertains you, is not the same as what sustains you. Stay mindful. Seek balance daily.” ~Lalah Delia

“Growth includes not talking yourself out of the truth. It is what it is. They are who they are.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“A sign of emotional maturity is when you can still be happy for other people when life is being hard on you.” ~@Mindset4_Life

“Of the top five consumer social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, SnapChat), Twitter is the only one not driven by photos.” ~Naval Ravikant

“Take the time to understand thoroughly. Connect the dots at your own pace. Rushing only brings confusion. Learning in depth brings clarity.” ~Orange Book

“Growth doesn’t happen without changing your thoughts. The relationships you care about can only improve if you decide to be and think differently.” ~Rob Hill Sr.

“In a bear market, this is what is most important: not making mistakes. The goal is to conserve capital. When a long bear market finally ends, those with cash will find bargains galore.” ~Maggie Mahar 

“Do not confuse things that are hard with things that are valuable. Many things in life are hard. Just because you are giving a great effort does not mean you are working toward a great result. Make sure that mountain is worth climbing.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

“Look at you. Out here. Making it. Figuring things out as you go. Pushing through fear. Pushing through anxiety. Learning from your mistakes. It’s not easy. It’s not always fun. It doesn’t always feel like you’re making progress. But you’re doing it.” ~Michell C Clark

“True creativity is when your genius serves you and others at the same time. True creativity is when you spend your life doing what you most love to do, in a way that inspires others to do what they most love to do. In my experience, that’s living at its very best.” ~Gay Hendricks, The Genius Zone

“The same is true for investors. It’s simple: If you hope to distinguish yourself in terms of performance, you have to depart from the pack. But, having departed, the difference will only be positive if your choice of strategies and tactics is correct and/or you’re able to execute better.” ~Howard Marks, I Beg to Differ

“This is when we have to ask, ‘How are you, really?’ And listen hard for the truest answer. This is when we have to understand that relationships are a beautiful blend of expectations and needs and wants, some voiced and some left unspoken, and it’s our job to bring them all into the light.” ~Jenna Kutcher, how are you, Really?

“At best, we try to love our way through the struggle of being human. At worst, we try to sex or drug our own way out of it. When that fails, we turn to violence. If blessed, the struggle enables us to build, create, and serve. This is why we’re here, to be shaped by time into a tool.” ~Mark Nepo, Things That Join the Sea and The Sky

Last Set:

“The older I get the more I realize life is just a series of good karma points and people vouching for you. Hard skills are important in the beginning of your career, the further along you go, the more subjective opinions and cosigns matter. Meritocracy is a myth.” ~Bo Ren

Food For Thought:

“I find it incredibly simple: If you wait at a bus stop long enough, you’re guaranteed to catch a bus, but if you run from bus stop to bus stop, you may never catch a bus…I believe most investors have their eye on the wrong ball. One quarter’s or one year’s performance is meaningless at best and a harmful distraction at worst. But most investment committees still spend the first hour of every meeting discussing returns in the most recent quarter and the year to date. If everyone else is focusing on something that doesn’t matter and ignoring the thing that does, investors can profitably diverge from the pack by blocking out short-term concerns and maintaining a laser focus on long-term capital deployment.” ~Howard Marks, I Beg to Differ
