In most cases, the Universe does not allow us to move forward until we have honored where we are right now...Walk good. 28all. Eya. *JS* The Warm-Up: “Easy to find people with shared values in the outcome, hard to find people with shared values in the process.” ~Jack Butcher The Core: “Early mornings. No crowds. Empty bleachers. Lights off. No one around.” ~Mentality “You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.” ~Jonathan Safran Foer “It’s okay to ‘disappoint’ others, their expectations are their problem, just don’t disappoint yourself.” ~Orange Book “Productivity isn’t about working nonstop, it’s about being smarter with how you allocate your time.” ~Orange Book “Most people can’t move in silence because they want immediate applause from an audience who don’t give a [damn] about them.” ~Biggs Burke “The solution: Have no mercy. Crush your enemies as totally as they would crush you. Ultimately the only peace and security you can hope from your enemies is their disappearance.” ~48 Laws of Power “Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest way measure of courage.” Brene Brown “It’s easy to take the notes. It’s easy to have the training. It’s much harder to take those notes and put them into action that begins to bring transformation in your personal life and in the lives of others.” ~John C Maxwell “The best properties are rarely for sale. The best employees are rarely job hunting. The best teachers are rarely teaching. Anything truly great is off the market. Most people think this means you can’t have it. What it really means is you have to go find it and sell yourself.” ~James Clear “It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people but care more about their opinion than our own. If a God appeared to us—or a wise human being, even—and prohibited us from concealing our thoughts or imagining anything without immediately shouting it out, we wouldn’t make it through a single day. That’s how much we value other people’s opinions—instead of our own.” ~Marcus Aurelius, Meditations “There’s a desire to celebrate our ‘authentic’ self. But perhaps our considered self, the one that shows up when we’re doing our best to be consistent, generous and professional–that’s our authentic self. And the voice that slips out when we’re tired, stressed or busy is simply an incomplete and lesser version of who we actually are. We’re the sum total of the interactions we choose to create and the changes we contribute.” ~Seth Godin, And who are you really? “We have no clue how or when this will all end but the markets’ ability to create supply to meet this temporary demand has been fascinating to watch over the past 9 months. We just passed the 12-month anniversary of the March low & very few would have predicted at that point in time what’s transpired since, just as it’s foolish to try to predict what will happen over the next 12 months. With this macro backdrop knowing what you own and why you own it is more important than ever. Don’t be complacent that the diamond hands or laser eye memes will be there when this liquidity eventually dissipates.” ~John Street Capital, The Excess of Everything: The Markets Unrelenting Supply Creation Machine “Certainty: Resolute in the face of criticism and implacable when confronting evidence to the contrary. ‘Never in doubt’ is more important than being right. The need to prove strength and consistency often ties us into knots, particularly in a world with new information and insight arriving so often. Accuracy: Aware that the sum total of our current assertions is a measure of our wisdom, which means that disproven hypotheses should be abandoned as soon as the truth is made clear. The scientific method is a process, not a lab coat or a textbook. Changing one’s point of view is a virtue, not a flaw. It seems clear that for just about anything that we can measure, if it really matters, accuracy is a better trait than certainty. And yet our instincts and our media cycles seem to push us toward certainty instead.” ~Seth Godin, Certainty, accuracy and leadership Last Set: “Trust takes time. And knowing what certain people are in your life is helpful. If you try to make anybody everything in your life, they’re gonna disappoint you. They can’t be that. That’s not fair to them. So knowing the role that people have in your life is important. But a lot of times, when you don’t really trust God, you’re probably going to be suspicious of people. If you think subconsciously, ‘I don’t trust God,’ you’re gonna have a hard time trusting anyone. If you do trust God, deep down, then like Joseph said to his brothers, ‘You meant it for evil, God meant it for good. He’s the one that I trusted…’ Then even if people let you down or don’t do what they were supposed to do, you still have that foundational trust in God. The only way you build that trust is the same you build it with people. Trust takes time. So, time with God, time in His presence. And you learn more over time…” ~Steven Furtick Blog Post:
