You’ll see…28all. Eya. *PB* The Warm-Up: “It’s possible that technology will decouple the store of value, the medium of exchange, and the unit of account.” ~Naval Ravikant The Core: “You religion is what you do with your solitude.” ~William Temple “Buy value, not market trends or the economic outlook.” ~Sir John Templeton “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte “Once you figure out what respect tastes like, you will always choose it over attention.” ~Pink “Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” ~Henry David Thoreau “I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given. I believed in myself, and I believe in the goodness of others.” ~Muhammad Ali “Your discipline will teach you love. Your consistency will teach you trust. Your showing up will teach you faith. All 3 will answer your prayers.” ~Matt Gottesman “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” ~Confucius “Never be embarrassed by your struggle. Never apologize for the things you’ve worked hard for. Every part of your journey has beauty in it, so never let anyone drag you down for climbing to a better place.” ~Vex King “When you know what needs to be done, inaction increases stress. You feel a lot less stress when you do the things within your control that move you closer to your objective. Action reduces stress.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food #568 “You don’t need to be relatable, you don’t need to be liked by the whole world, you need to become a version of yourself that you love, you need to purse a path that only you can walk, and as you finally connect more deeply with who you were meant to be, you will feel at peace.” ~Orange Book “Livin’ with nothin’ to lose, I hope one day you hear me / Always gon’ be a bigger house somewhere, but [playa], feel me / Long as the people in that motherf* love you dearly / Always gon’ be a whip that’s better than the one you got / Always gon’ be some clothes that’s fresher than the ones you rock / Always gon’ be a [shawtay] that’s badder out there on the tours / But you ain’t never gon’ be happy ‘til you love yours…” ~J.Cole, Love Yourz “No one is more bitter and resentful than a smart person who didn’t end up where they wanted to be and knows that it’s because they didn’t do their best. They didn’t sacrifice the fat portions of the firstborn of their flock. Could’ve and should’ve but didn’t. Cain energy. Resentment and contempt are worse than hate and disgust because they have a destructive drive. It’s envy. It’s the ‘if I cant have it then no one can’ mindset. Above all there’s a degree of self-hate/-destruction in it as well, knowing that you could’ve done better but didn’t.” ~SchrodingrsBrat Last Set: “Don’t obsess over your goal: invest in yourself until you become someone who can achieve the goal, create an environment, a lifestyle, a set of habits, that makes reaching the goal inevitable, then have fun reaching the goal knowing that you are predestined to get there.” ~Orange Book Food For Thought: “If you know something’s going to work, it’s not worth working on. It requires no courage. It requires no faith. It requires no skin in the game. Whether you’re a spy or a teacher or a spouse or a painter or an abuela or an astronaut or a monk or a barista or a board-game designer, the bits that matter are the bits you make matter by putting yourself on the line for them. The unknown is the foundry where you forge your chips. Everything important is uncertain. Sitting with the discomfort of that uncertainty is the hard part, the wedge that can move the world.” ~Eliot Peper on taking risks, Foundry [Seen in James Clear’s 3-2-1] Food For Thought II: “If you really want to be great at something, you have to truly care about it. If you want to be great in a particular area, you have to obsess over it. A lot of people say they want to be great, but they’re not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness. They have other concerns, and they spread themselves out. ... Greatness isn’t easy to achieve. It requires a lot of time, a lot of sacrifices. It requires a lot of tough choices. It requires your loved ones to sacrifice, too. So you have to have an understanding circle of family and friends. People don’t always understand just how much effort from how many people goes into one person chasing a dream to be great. There’s a fine balance between obsessing about your craft and being there for your family. It’s akin to walking a tightrope. Your legs are shaky, and you’re trying to find your center. Whenever you lean too far in one direction, you correct your course and end up over leaning in the other direction. So you correct by leaning the other way again. That’s the dance. You can’t achieve greatness by walking a straight line.” ~Kobe Bryant [Seen in Shane Parrish’s Brain Food #568]
