I Just Cant Give Up Now…Nobody told me, the road would be easy…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *LL, PR, MM*

The Warm-Up: 

“It doesn’t matter how sensitive you are or how damn smart and educated you are, if you’re not both at the same time, if your heart and your brain aren’t connected, aren’t working together harmoniously, well, you’re just hopping through life on one leg. You may think you’re walking, you may think you’re running a damn marathon, but you’re only on a hop trip. The connections gotta be maintained.” ~Tom Robbins

The Core: 

“In doubt, do what your future self will thank you for.” ~Orange Book

“History is filled with the sounds of silken slippers going downstairs and wooden shoes coming up.” ~Voltaire

“Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives, and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.” ~Voltaire

“In 25 years of investing, I’ve found that the big money is not made in trading. The big money is made in holding.” ~James Lavish

“When you manifest something, you don’t have to tell everyone. Do it quietly. You’ve never heard a tree grow.” ~@growthwithmelina

“Think about what you want today and you’ll spend your time. Think about what you want in 5 years and you’ll invest your time.” ~James Clear

“The Steve Jobs Effect: Before Apple, people were expected to read a manual to figure out how things work. But increasingly, people expect design to be so intuitive that you don’t even need a manual.” ~David Perell

“There’s a very fine line between hesitancy and urgency…Hesitancy is your fear manifesting an outcome that hasn’t happened, while urgency is your intuition manifesting an outcome it already knows.” ~Matt Gottesman

“I’ve often found the richest person in groups to not be the one making the most money, but the one who’s family made the most. It’s hard to outwork a generation. Here lies the wealth gap for minorities.” ~Henri Pierre-Jacques

“Social media is designed to make you think: ‘Maybe I should be somewhere else, doing something else, with someone else.’ But if you always think your happiness is something else, it will never be where you are.” ~Steven Bartlett

“I can sense that people are looking for a certain future for markets, but the truth is that there are no gurus. No one knows. We all do our best to use our experience and figure out the beautiful puzzle and put odds in our favour best we can.” ~Raoul Pal

“Stop f***ing waiting. Nobody’s gonna do it for you. Nobody’s gonna change your life, your body, your mentality for you. Today it begins. Tomorrow it continues. And then it never ends. Start now…and don’t stop till you’re proud. Then, go for even more.” ~@mentality

“Much has been written on habits. Less has been written about rituals. These terms are sometimes used interchangeably. But behavioral economists insist they are not the same thing at all. Rituals are similar to habits in the sense that ‘when I do X, I also do Y.’ But they are different from habits because of one key component: the psychological satisfaction you experience when you do them. Habits explain ‘what’ you do, but rituals are about ‘how’ you do it.” ~Greg McKeown, Effortless

“One of the best pieces of advice I’ve gotten is that you have to be yourself. I’ve gotten that same advice, over and over, from some of the best leaders I’ve ever talked to. Guys like Jim Tressel, Luke Fickell. Heck, Ryan Day said this two days ago — You have to be yourself. And that’s 100% true. If I tried to be Brian Kelly as a head coach, that wouldn’t make sense. Same thing if I tried to be Luke Fickell, or Jim Tressel, or anybody else I’ve coached with. If we’re going to have success here at Notre Dame during my tenure, I’m going to have to be me.” ~Marcus Freeman, Dear Notre Dame

Last Set:

“There’s not much I can do about it now. And maybe that’s the lesson in life. Dealing with what happens—positive, negative—you cant change it, you can learn from it. And hopefully it can make you a good person and to deal with life in a positive way. And when things don’t go your way, appreciate the other people who it goes good for, and then try your hardest to get back there again.” ~Tom Brady, Ep 4. Man in the Arena, about losing to the Giants in ‘07 Super Bowl
