“No age has a monopoly on insight, and different levels of experience offer different kinds of lessons…” #MorganHousel. Walk good. 28all. Eya.*EB, PR*

The Warm-Up: 

“If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgement at those of us trying to dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fearmongering. If you’re criticizing from a place where you’re not also putting yourself on the line, I’m not interested in your feedback.” ~Brené Brown

The Core: 

“If your heart is pure, you’re going to win in the end. Remember that.” ~Anonymous

“The quality of your self-reflection is the speed of your personal growth.” ~Orange Book

“Our best work is the work we find ourselves doing, when there is no obligation to do so.” ~Naval Ravikant

“Expertise is great, but it has a bad side effect. It tends to create an inability to accept new ideas.” ~Dean Williams 

“Stop buying your kids what you never had, and teach them what you never knew! #GenerationalWealth.” ~Ro$$ Mac

“The reason we often have so much discomfort in the face of change is because it threatens our identity and sense of self.” ~Dr. Maya Shankar

“Emotional maturity is to have a disagreement without shaming, blaming, name-calling, or projecting your trauma onto someone else.” ~Vex King

“If you’re in a new season and you feel uncomfortable, know this: God didn’t leave you. He’s just showing you himself in a different dimension.” ~Steven Furtick

“Golden skill: Being able to truly put things behind you. Almost every big player has ‘rough’ stories of hard moments or past events that didn’t go their way. Keep your head up. They’ll be ‘war stories’ you tell later when you’ve made it.” ~Dr. Julie Gurnen

“Instead of pursuing originality, your actual goal is to run a good process at a high frequency. Over time, you aim for all of your work to be good, but you only expect some to be original. You don’t chase it; you put yourself in a position to capture it.” ~Julian Shapiro, Craftspeople

“Making positive changes to your life feels really complicated. But the one factor that determines your future circumstances more than any other is simply how you decide to spend your time today. Your time is an irreplaceable currency, it’s time to start investing it wisely.” ~Steven Bartlett

“Expressing doubt doesn’t always mean you lack confidence. It might be that you see nuance. The presence of certainty can signal the absence of complexity. Conviction can crowd out careful consideration. The person who talks tentatively has often done the deepest reflection.” ~Adam Grant

“Every great opportunity has many reasons why it could fail. You have to trust your ability to solve problems along the way. People who look for reasons why things wont work, struggle to take action. People who look for reasons why things will work—and solve problems as they arise—make things happen.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

“Google Maps, TurboTax, and Instagram wouldn’t be possible without ARPANET, a 1960s Department of Defense project linking computers to manage Cold War secrets that became the foundation for the Internet. That’s how you go from the threat of nuclear war to filing your taxes from your couch – a link that was unthinkable 50 years ago, but there it is. Facebook began as a way for college students to share pictures of their drunk weekends and within a decade was the most powerful lever in global politics. Again, it’s just hard to connect those dots with foresight. And that’s why all innovation is hard to predict and easy to underestimate. The path from A to Z can be so complex and end up at such a strange point that it’s nearly impossible to look at today’s tools and extrapolate what they might become.” ~Morgan Housel, The Same Stories, Again and Again

Last Set: 

“The quality of a single decision isn’t determined by the outcome. However, the aggregation of results over time indicates the quality of the process by which you make decisions.” ~Shane Parrish

Food For Thought:

“Not a day goes by that I don’t become more confident that the secret to business and investing is identifying the few things that never change and hold onto them for dear life, and identifying what evolves and be ready to adapt those views quickly…It’s just so hard to do the latter…Gaining experience takes time, effort, and often comes at the price of making painful mistakes. You don’t want to let those lessons go. You want them to mean something, to help you from making the same painful mistakes again.” ~Morgan Housel, Experts From A World That No Long Exists
