Praying…28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “The scary part about social media is that you can spend hours thinking that you are learning something new, when you are actually just watching other people live their lives and just getting old without getting closer to any of your goals.” ~Orange Book The Core: “Do the next right thing you know you ought to do.” ~Dallas Willard “Tough love ain’t the only love that can teach a lesson.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing.” ~Seth Godin “If you want to lead the orchestra you must turn your back to the crowd.” ~Islwyn Jeneins “I love people who been through real sh*t but they don’t make it their personality.” ~Melz “Stop pitching an idea, everyone has ideas. You should execute it and then pitch the opportunity.” ~Tim Karsliyev “We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.” ~C.S. Lewis “Every employee’s success will ultimately be based on their ability to manage leverage. (Tools, Products, People, Capital…AI as a multiplier of these).” ~Eric Jorgenson “It’s an amazing trigger within human nature, the minute someone acknowledges their flaws, not only do we tend to forgive them, but we actually come to admire them.” ~Mark Manson “You read 100 books, only 1 changes your life. You try 20 jobs, only 1 makes you all your money. You go on 1,000 dates, only 1 becomes your spouse. Winning requires reps.” ~Codie Sanchez “The happiest people I know aren’t chasing big houses or fancy cars. They’re building tiny businesses that let them work 3-4 hours a day and spend the rest of their time actually living life.” ~Justin Welsh “Stress is a tax on extreme ambition. When you care deeply about something, you will experience feelings of stress that accompany the non-linearity of your progress. The goal isn’t to have no stress, but to stress about things that actually matter to you.” ~Sahil Bloom “The first thing is that we need to change how we think about emotions. Emotions are a source of power, and that’s what science tells us. But many people I encounter have been led to think of emotions as a source of weakness.” ~Vivek Murthy, Former Surgeon General: I’m Worried About America’s Stress Last Set: “If you aren’t where you want to be, the most important thing in your life is one hour of needle-moving effort (when your energy is highest) on a project that wasn’t assigned to you by parents, teachers, or employers.” ~Dan Koe Food For Thought: “Stop being a baby when you get feedback. Someone is giving you a window into how they experience you. They might fumble, be insensitive, offend you, or even be wrong. Who cares? Show gratitude for their courage so they’ll keep doing it. This is the data you need to improve.” ~Dave Kline Something for the Road: “As a former firefighter and the founder of a business that serves the firefighting community every day, I am saddened by the destruction and humanitarian disaster caused by the Los Angeles area fires.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, and the survivors embarking on a journey to rebuild. I also empathize with the firefighters who are working day and night to protect life and property – despite limited resources and unprecedented operating conditions.
This disaster is the latest in a series of devastating wildfires in recent years, highlighting the importance of additional investment to aid the prevention of and response to fires in urban and wildland interfaces.
We need to invest for the future – adequate staffing, equipment, and technology to more efficiently anticipate and respond to the incidents of tomorrow.
*Use tools like Watch Duty to view real-time fire maps and evacuation routes to keep you and your neighbors safe.
*Advocate to your local, state, and federal representatives to increase funding to equip local fire departments with the personnel and equipment they need to do their jobs.
*Donate to local foundations serving the first responders across the nation (Example: Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, https://supportlafd.org/)
*Donate to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (https://www.firehero.org/) that honors the legacy and supports the families of firefighters who have given the ultimate sacrifice.” ~Martin Hunt
