Confidence is not a belief in success. It’s a comfort with failure. #MarkManson…28all. Eya. *PB, MLE, OA* The Warm-Up: “Connection. The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.” ~Brene Brown The Core: “The cold water doesn’t get warmer if you jump late.” ~Unknown “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ~C.G. Jung “You waterboard your imagination with information and wonder why it does not speak.” ~Dylan O’Sullivan “This hard place in which you, perhaps, find yourself, is the very place in which God is giving you opportunity to look only to Him.” ~Elisabeth Elliot “Contrary to belief, knowledge is not power...execution is power. Don’t get stuck in the bad habit of endless learning. Make the move, and jump in.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” ~Albert Einstein “Recognize that ultimate success comes from opportunistic, bold moves which, by definition, cannot be planned.” ~Bryan Burrough, Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco “If your body is made up of things you put into your mouth, your mind is made of things you put into your eyes and ears. Your content diet should be spirulina for the soul, not fast food for your amygdala.” ~Chris Williamson “Advice gathering is procrastination in disguise. You can read a lot of books and talk to a lot of people, but ultimately, you just have to figure things out for yourself. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.” ~Sahil Bloom “The great ones don’t do it for money or fame or power. Or to build an institution, or to help others, or to save the world. Like a child tinkering, they create it for its own sake. Free of the burden of ambition. Deaf to the demands of the world.” ~Naval Ravikant “I absolutely despise bullet point summary culture. ‘Can you condense this into 5 key points so I can get my dopamine hit and move on to the next?’ No. I want the fluff. I want the context. I want the random and chaotic thought process that contains lessons that can’t be taught.” ~Dan Koe “When I was young. … I wanted to have a lot of followers, I wanted all the things I got now. But that don’t move me no more. What moves me is seeing the next dude do what he’s supposed to do, be who he’s supposed to be. … It’s about the growth.” ~Tyrann Mathieu, speaking to the LSU football team (2022) “First album, every track could be the outro / Velcro to shelltoes, things that we will outgrow / Used to rock South Pole, summers taking the 6 bus to South Shore / Never sold out but now we out-sold / That was the summer I learned to love the great outdoors / Learned you get the feds if you can’t keep yo’ mouth closed / That summer left a couple marks like Groucho / That halo can turn hollow, depending how low…” ~Chance The Rapper, Do You Remember Last Set: “If you see a punch coming, but refuse to avoid it, you will experience physical pain; similarly, if you mentally understand what you are supposed to do, but refuse to physically act, you will experience anxiety.” ~Orange Book Food For Thought: “There is a saying at Toyota: ‘monozukuri wa hitozukuri,’ which means ‘we make things through making people.’ Toyota gets something most companies miss: you can’t make great things without making great people first. It’s a profound truth about how excellence works. When you invest in people’s growth—in their ability to think and solve problems—the products take care of themselves. Toyota figured out that great products aren’t built directly. They’re what emerges when you build great builders.” ~Kpaxs
