The Warm-Up: 

“You are the stories you tell yourself about who you are & what you’re worth. They determine what you go for, what you shy away from & what you put up with – professionally and personally. When you see someone striving, reaching, and pushing…they believe they’re worth it.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner

The Core: 

“They underestimated you but that’s not how your story ends.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“When your intentions are pure, you don’t lose anyone, they lose you.” ~Stephan Labossiere

“There is a lot of angry people online because there is a lot of lonely, unloving, unloved people offline.” ~Orange Book

“Confidence in God’s promise without commitment to his process is not dependence, it is delusion.” ~Steven Furtick

“Truth-seeking burns energy. People like conserving energy. Thus the sport that’s played the most: jumping to conclusions.” ~Kunal Shah

“The devil wouldn’t be attacking you so hard if there wasn’t something divine inside of you. Thieves don’t break into empty homes.” ~multiple sources

“Culture side-steps conventional value propositions, functional | category benefits, and mind-share marketing.” ~Douglas Holt, Culture Strategy

“Leadership is really about two things: command and collaborate. The ability to command when necessary, and the willingness to collaborate when possible.” ~Kpaxs

“Unhealed trauma can have you loving those who hurt you and hurting those who love you. Heal so you can manifest healthy relationships with no trauma attached to them.” ~@MindTendencies2

“Every successful person I know believes the game is rigged. Every successful person knows the game is rigged and learns how to play. It’s cliché as hell, but your mindset is everything.” ~Justin Welsh

“Connections are not about who likes your qualities, but more about who accepts them. Many people will admire you from afar, but very few will be able to handle your true essence up close.” ~Billy Chapata

“Someone needs to hear this: it’s not a measure of strength or of commitment to stay in a dysfunctional relationship. We need to stop viewing breakups or divorces as failures – sometimes, they’re great acts of self-love.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera

“It’s far more important to write well than most people realize. Writing doesn’t just communicate ideas; it generates them. If you’re bad at writing and don’t like to do it, you’ll miss out on most of the ideas writing would have generated.” ~Paul Graham

“Saying less is incredibly helpful. Every thought is not valuable. Every feeling does not need to be voiced. What is often best is slowing down to spend time developing a clearer and more informed perspective. Ego rushes and reacts, but peace moves intentionally and gently.” ~Yung Pueblo

“ ‘Macro’ is generally less important to the returns of a concentrated collection of securities over long periods of time. These returns will be governed primarily by security selection and the performance of the underlying businesses. Nevertheless, occasionally macro is all that matters. Balancing this dichotomy » avoiding both distraction and complacency, is important to longer term success.” ~Collaborative Holdings, Some Thoughts on Investing, an Ongoing List. (Borrowed and not)

Last Set:

“People think they want money. They actually want to drop the fake smiles. They want to stop pretending to be who they are not. They want to speak their mind fearlessly.” ~Orange Book

Food For Thought:

“There are basically two types of people. People who have accomplished things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.” ~Mark Twain

Food For Thought II:

“In summary, most forecasts are extrapolations, and most of the time things don’t change, so extrapolations are usually correct, but not particularly profitable. On the other hand, accurate forecasts of deviations from trend can be very profitable, but they’re hard to make and hard to act on. These are some of the reasons why most people can’t predict the future well enough to repeatably produce superior performance.” ~Howard Marks, What Really Matters?
