What a time to be alive. 28all. Eya. The Warm-Up: “I tell my kids, what is the difference between a hero and a coward? What is the difference between being yellow and being brave? No difference. Only what you do. They both feel the same. They both fear dying and getting hurt. The man who is yellow refuses to face up to what he’s got to face. The hero is more disciplined, and he fights those feelings off and he does what he has to do. But they both feel the same, the hero and the coward. People who watch you judge you on what you do, not how you feel.” ~Cus D’Amato, legendary boxing trainer The Core: “The axe forgets; the tree remembers.” ~African Proverb “Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” ~Rumi “Be consistent for one year…and you’ll surpass even your wildest ambition.” ~Ed Latimore “A secret to life is letting every situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be, and then making the best of it.” ~Anonymous “You don’t build psychological resilience by feeling good all the time. You build psychological resilience by getting better at feeling bad.” ~Mark Manson “You don’t need permission, or approval. You just need to trust yourself. Trust the vision that was placed in your heart. God would not show you a lie. Proceed.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “You know they say: ‘You don’t pay the plumber for banging on the pipes,’ ‘You pay him for knowing where to bang.’ ‘Yahtzee!’” ~Suits, Season 6, Episode 15: Quid Pro Quo “People are funny. They’ll gossip about how you hurt’em but will never gossip about how you helped them…You can’t control what people say about you behind your back. But you can make them respect you to your face!” ~Dr. Eric Thomas “Getting your shit together requires a level of honesty, you can’t even imagine. Ain’t nothing easy about realizing you’re the one that’s been holding you back this whole time…that your lack of discipline is the answer to some of those ‘why not me’ questions you ask.” ~Unknown “They might never apologize. They might not even be sorry. The closure that you’re waiting for will only come when you decide that it’s time for you to walk away and close the door behind you. Let go of the past. Stop trying to outsource your healing and do it yourself.” ~Michell C Clark “If your plan is to wait for someone else to bring you opportunities, reduce your financial anxiety, comfort you, fight for you, then you’re gonna wait for a very long time. Everyone is already overwhelmed with their own life challenges. Assume you’re alone, then go help yourself.” ~Orange Book “The Cost of Ambition: Late nights, early mornings. Lots of associates, very few friends. You will be misunderstood. You will be single unless you find someone who understands your lifestyle. People will want you to do good, but never better than them… And for those reasons, you will do many things alone.” ~Unknown Last Set: “You loving someone else will not save you from your own demons. Remember that.” ~Malanda Jean-Claude Food For Thought: “Friendship is far more important to God than we often realize. We tend to think he puts top priority on performance, purity, and perfection, and we assume relationship is the eventual reward for those things. In other words, the more like Jesus we become, the closer our relationship with him will be. Actually, it works the other way around. The closer we get to Jesus, the more like him we become. Relationship comes first; change comes later.” ~Rich Wilkerson, Jr., Friend of Sinners
