Day 1…28all. Eya. *TB, DP, MM* The Warm-Up: “Instead of calling someone out, call them in: Invite them into a judgment-free conversation with the intention of promoting understanding.” ~Rita Maniscalco, Huntington, N.Y. [From Words of Wisdom, ~Melissa Kirsch*. Tyvm Largey for highlighting!] The Core: “Distance doesn’t separate people, silence does.” ~Jeff Hood “Happiness is in the quiet, ordinary things.” ~Virginia Woolf “I need to listen well so that I hear what is not said.” ~Thuli Madonsela “Shout out to the struggle, a friend I mistook for an enemy all my life.” ~Katriel Sarfati “No one has answers at the beginning. Trust yourself and take the first step.” ~Shane Parrish “Not sure what’s heavier, what’s on my mind or my plate, but we gonna be okay.” ~Tinashe, Lucid Dreaming “Your purpose is not uncertain, you are. Don’t let the human in you talk you out of the soul in you.” ~Matt Gottesman “Some people influence the masses; some people influence the people that influence the masses.” ~Anonymous “Feel what your body is saying and stop trying to think your way through your feelings.” ~Tobey Crockett, Paso Robles, Calif.* “May you spend more time in places and spaces that amplify your sound. Unmuted. Your whole notes are worthy of being heard. Get free. Stay free.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “The single most powerful pattern I have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places…” ~Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dream, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” ~Henry David Thoreau “There are periods of your life when nothing seems to work out no matter how hard you try, there are other periods when you keep attracting opportunities in unexpected ways, these periods span from months to years, patience is about investing in yourself until the wheel turns.” ~Orange Book Last Set: “The situations may be small, but the principles are heavy. That’s the part they don’t seem to get. It’s always the principle.” ~Nana Food For Thought: “It’s easy to think forgiveness has happened just because the person is no longer in your face. A lot of us just push our problems deeper in our hearts by refusing to deal with the things that really hurt. You may never get that apology you wanted. You may never get them to see your true value, or to appreciate what you offer. Don’t carry these feelings of rejection, lack, and mistrust from relationship to relationship. Take some time for healing. You can keep the memory, the lesson, but not the pain of the moment. You have to release that if you want growth. You needed to learn everything that period of time taught you. Now you deserve so much more. Don’t wait for permission to make that happen.” ~Rob Hill Sr. Food For Thought II: “Your smartphone has two jobs. On one hand, it was hired by you to accomplish certain tasks. In the scheme of things, it’s a screaming bargain and a miracle. But most of the time, your phone works for corporations, assorted acquaintances and large social networks. They’ve hired it to put you to work for them. You’re not the customer, you’re the product. Your attention and your anxiety is getting sold, cheap. When your phone grabs your attention, when it makes you feel inadequate, when it pushes you to catch up, to consume and to fret, it’s not working for you, is it? On demand doesn’t mean you do things when the device demands.” ~Seth Godin, When your phone uses you
