Path to purpose is not linear and not checking boxes…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *TLB*

The Warm-Up: 

“That’s the thing about being illogical: when it first starts to drizzle, don’t change anything you’ve been doing. Use all of your experiences and resources to take you even further…Videos can go viral but written words last forever.” ~Emmanuel Acho, Illogical

The Core: 

“You can’t pay bills with potential.” ~Dr. Eric Thomas

“Sometimes you need to allow life to save you from getting what you want.” ~Brandon Stanton

“It’s always a waste of time to explain yourself to those who already chose to dislike you.” ~Orange Book

“Sometimes the most important things in a man’s life are the ones he talks about the least.” ~Louis L’Amour

“Open table will look you dead in the eye and ask if you would like to eat at 4.45pm or 11.30pm.” ~@swoph

“Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective.” ~Ryan Holiday

“Okay marketers get leads. Good marketers get customers. Great marketers get an army of fans. There’s a huge difference.” ~Andrew Gazdecki

“The lion cub wanted to roar. But the lion cub didn’t understand the responsibility that came with his power. And so, the journey began…” ~Joe Duncan

“That chapter of your life where you’re more self-aware and no longer repeating the same behaviors because you catch yourself before they even happen. You know yourself; you don’t lie to yourself. That’s a sweet spot to be in.” ~@SayItValencia

“Who you choose to spend time with likely has a greater long-term impact on your health, wealth, and happiness than almost any other decision you make. Yet, most people will put more conscious thought into the color of their smartphone case.” ~Mark Manson

“Want to be attractive? Be yourself. Embrace your awkwardness, your ‘weird’ interests, and let people see you light up over whatever brings you happiness. Authenticity and being comfortable in your own skin is magnetic. People can just feel it.” ~Dr. Nicole LePera

“It is nearly impossible to have your best idea the first time you think about something. The most likely way to uncover important insights is to frequently revisit a problem. The longer you’re in the game, the more ideas bubble up to the surface. Time unlocks insights.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

“Two hand philosophy. If I can’t earn it, then I don’t want it. My hands might be calloused up and scarred up with a knuckle or two missing (poor punching form) but they’re mine and serve as my daily anchors for puttin’ in the work to get the job done. Earn it. Own it. Be grateful for it.” ~The Rock

“I propose that we all acknowledge in our hearts who we really are, while gradually learning to respond authentically to the world and work environments that we are placed in. Little by little and day by day, let’s make a commitment to revealing our true selves and supporting each other along the way. No longer should we be afraid to discuss who we are, even when our interests are not aligned with mainstream white patterns and trends. We, too, have a responsibility to change the norm by being bold enough to unapologetically be our ourselves.” ~Talisa “Tali” Lavarry, Confessions From Your Token Black Colleague

Last Set:

“Work hard at the job in front of you. Put the time in. Be the best shepherd that the world has ever seen. Refine your skills. Tend to your sheep. Other shepherds may be asleep, thinking that this idle time is a waste of time. Don’t worry about them. Fight lions. Master your craft.” ~Emmanuel Acho, Illogical

Food For Thought:

“You can be briefed by experts and read a dozen books about a place to get insight, but I knew from long experience that the only way to really educate yourself about a country was to spend time there. I needed to meet in person. No matter where it was in the world, my presence at a conference table signaled the firm’s commitment. Language could be a barrier at times, but you can always build relationships. There’s no place I traveled where I didn’t think I could connect with other people. I would be proven wrong, but you’ll have to wait for that story.” ~John Mack, Up Close And All In
