The Warm-Up: 

“Be the things you admire in others: Trustworthy. Principled. Courageous. Kind. Understanding. Loyal. Unselfish. … And you become the person you want to find.” ~Shane Parrish

The Core: 

“A sign of intelligence: you value things even before you lose them.” ~Orange Book

“You can become very hard to replace by simply doing what you say you’re going to do.” ~Jack Butcher

“Where to focus: For the beginner, execution. For the intermediate, strategy. For the expert, mindset.” ~James Clear

“Stop being hurt when people don’t congratulate and honor you...Mediocrity never congratulates excellence.” ~I’ve seen this attributed to many, but I saw it on Tim Karsliyev’s Instagram

“ ‘Be more patient’ in investing is the ‘sleep 8 hours’ of health. Sounds too simple to take seriously but will probably make a bigger difference than anything else you do.” ~Shane Parrish

“So simple, yet so underrated: ‘Take a simple idea and take it seriously.’ ~Charlie Munger. Pay careful attention to the things that everyone knows but pays no attention to.” ~Shane Parrish

“When it comes to the unsolicited and cruel judgment of others, perhaps you’d reconsider ‘voicing your opinion’ if you realized that you may only be ‘revealing your insecurities.’” ~Ayishat Akanbi

“You have to know who and when to help. Don’t help people that want you to solve their problems for them. Help people who want you to help them solve their problems themselves.” ~Steven Bartlett

“Not enough is said about the power of thinking about one topic for a long period of time. If you revisit a topic continually for a few years, most problems (and many solutions) will occur to you at some point. Expertise can be the gradual accumulation of many modest insights.” ~James Clear

“Dear Millennials, Focus. Focus on self-development over overnight success. Focus without Instagram convincing you the grass is greener elsewhere. Focus without allowing your parent’s opinions to derail you. Focus is the growth hack and sometimes the fastest way looks the slowest.” ~Steven Bartlett

“You’ve been so focused on what you want, and now what you want is staring you right in the face and you’re not sure if you want it anymore. Remove the handcuffs fear has placed on you, and open your arms for the blessings you have waited for. Comfort zones can be poisonous too.” ~Billy Chapata

“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren’t willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” ~Michael Jordan

“You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, ‘What is a dream, why do we have toes, why is the moon round, what is the birthday of the world, why is grass green’… These are profound, important questions. They just bubble right out of them. You go talk to 12th graders and there’s none of that. They’ve become incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade.” ~Carl Sagan, Cosmos: Carl Sagan

Last Set: 

“You fear death because you crave life. You fear death because you think there’s something to get that you haven’t experienced yet. Many people feel that death will take something away from them. The wise person realizes that death is constantly giving them something. Death is giving meaning to your life. You’re the one who throws your life away; you waste every second of it. You get in your car, drive from here to there, and you don’t see anything. You’re not even there. You’re busy thinking about what you’re going to do next. You’re a month ahead of yourself, or even a year. You’re not living life; you’re living mind. So it is you who throws your life away, not death. Death actually helps you get your life back by making you pay attention to the moment. It makes you say, ‘My God, I’m going to lose this. I’m going to lose my children. This could be the last time I’ll see them. From now on I’m going to pay more attention to them, and to my spouse, and to all my friends and loved ones. I want to get so much more out of life!’” ~Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul

Food for Thought: 

So much I wanted to write about this clip. The words didn’t come... But I feel so blessed to have some people in my life that I can talk to about any/everything. This is a moving clip from the iconic West Cricketer Michael Holding: West Indies legend Michael Holding breaks down discussing racism in the UK
