The fierceness of battle is the proof of the promise. Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *NG* The Warm-Up: “I took that responsibility seriously…There’s nothing I would’ve done differently if I were not the captain; I try to lead by example. And I tried to get to know my teammates…Just because you’re in a position of power doesn’t mean people are gonna listen to you. They may hear you…but doesn’t mean they’re gonna listen to you and respect you. You gotta take the time to get to know people that you’re leading.” ~Derek Jeter, The Captain. S1 E4 – Bigger than Baseball The Core: “Your insecurity is a liar. As you heal, you stop making decisions based on what it tells you.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “True change doesn’t require announcements, the flowers in your garden will speak for themselves.” ~Billy Chapata “Money doesn’t buy talent, love, happiness, but it certainly buys time to work on all of the above.” ~Orange Book “The goal isn’t to be successful; the goal is to be valuable. When you’re valuable you don’t have to chase success, you’ll attract it.” ~Melanie Jones “I have very little faith in cheers, what they mean and how long they will last, compared with the faith I have in my own love for the game.” ~Bill Russell, in Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man (1979), written with Taylor Branch “Skills + Leverage = Wealth. Reading + Writing = Clarity. Courage + Optimism = Luck. Discipline + Focus = Success. Practice + Consistency = Talent. Experience + Reflection = Wisdom. Meditation + Detachment = Peace.” ~@GrowthCenter_ “When someone is going through a hard time, you don’t always have to comfort them with words. You don’t have to try to ‘fix it’. Sometimes, all you need to do is be present with them. Sit with them. And let them feel comfortable in their vulnerability.” ~Najwa Zebian “Questions > Answers: You want to prove your credibility to a prospect. So, you start talking. You just lost the sale. People are buying your ears not your mouth. Instead of talking, listen. Ask questions. Let the prospect talk. Show how smart you are by shutting up.” ~David Morris “Effort is not the hard part. Anyone can put in the effort. The hard part is focus. Not losing sight of what matters. Not getting distracted or trying to take shortcuts. Not judging yourself or thinking everyone is secretly laughing at you behind your back. That’s the hard part.” ~Mark Manson Last Set: “I never wanted an easy way out. I just always wanted to know the real way to get through. How to get on the other side and still know who you are. I wanted to learn how to love and not lose yourself. How to give someone your all and still have energy left for you…Everybody I knew felt used. Like every time they gave, it never came back the same. I was aware some lessons would hurt. I saw that some of the teachers only cared when it was convenient…but God knew I still needed time to learn. Struggle taught me the truth about myself. It showed me where I needed more love. We have the power solve problems, to make big issues small again. Just by thinking about them differently…By seeing yourself in a new way…I don’t want to be around people who need an easy life in order to make the best of their time. People who love it easy always have problems with appreciation, greed, and entitlement. You can’t treat what I offer like that.” ~Rob Hill Sr. :: We appreciate your readership.
