There’s a pull to someone that pulls from you. It’s natural.
Unfortunately you can rob yourself of true happiness by not loving who loves you.
Don’t get caught up in the dopamine rush of “the chase”. In the end, it won’t bring you peace.

“Your brain can be a real challenge sometimes, but you can tame that beast. It just takes practice, patience, and consistency.
Instead of letting negativity win, fight back with positivity and grace—you’ll thank yourself for it in the end.”

Don’t be one of those people that put in hours and hours of work just to quit before you get to the gold.
If we could see how many people have done this, I bet it would be a pretty shocking number.
How about we keep going and never stop unless we absolutely must…
Let’s stop worrying about the finish line and focus on the task at hand. Let’s enjoy the moment and be grateful that we have the opportunity to sit in it.

“Develop the habit of asking yourself, ‘Will I definitely use the information for something immediate and important?” – Timothy Ferriss
What’s the point of having a gift if you don’t put it to use?
Knowledge is a gift. Wisdom is a gift. Common sense is a gift.
To have purpose and not share it with the world is one of the biggest crimes of our time.

“Yeah, I loved playing with Metta. He was able to deal with, and even sought out tough love. He wanted me to let him know, ‘Look, enough of that. We’re going to win a championship, so don’t mess it up.’ Most people wouldn’t do that with him. They were either intimidated or scared by how he might respond. He knew I wasn’t, and he respected that. – Kobe Bryant
When people hold you to high standards, take that as a compliment.
If they think you aren’t worth a damn, they wouldn’t even waste their time telling you that you’re “better than that”.
Tell people that you want fair criticism because it helps you grow. Their respect for you will grow.

“Everything I went through, I’m so happy. The thing is, it’s not how much you work. It’s not work hard, work hard. The key is actually patience. I been learning that. My dad made me like that: be patient, because you can grow into so much, persevering through these hardships.” – Thanasis A.
In 2024, it’s rare to find people who truly embrace patience. Everything seems to be about constant haste—rushing service industry workers, rushing leadership, rushing the learning process.
Pause. Take your time. Just like how a seed needs time to grow into a tree, some things in life require patience and perseverance to reap the sweetest rewards.

“You can tell a man he is wrong by a look or an intonation or a gesture just as eloquently as you can in words — and if you tell him he is wrong, do you make him want to agree with you? Never!” – Dale Carnegie
It’s better to show people that they’re dumb. Telling them won’t work.
How you show them is up to you. There are many methods.

“Remember that a man’s name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in the English language.” – Dale Carnegie.
Everybody is the star of their own movie.
Don’t forget this when somebody chooses their own needs over yours, or prefers to believe what they believe over what you’ve told them, no matter how much time, effort and energy you put into gaining said information.

If you have little money and you want to be rich, you must first be focused, not balanced. If you look at any successful person, at the start they were not balanced. Balanced people go nowhere. They stay in one spot. To make progress, you must first go unbalanced. Just look at how you make progress walking. – Robert Kiyosaki
There is such a thing as balance.
There will be times where you work more than you play, and vice versa.
The pendulum swings back and forth. Remember that when you feel like you’re drowning. It will swing back.

Thanks to my dad, I have never been stuck believing that I had to like something in order to commit myself to it. When I was nine years old, I remember watching him working in the yard, picking up pecans, sticks, and leaves and stuffing them into a trash bag. He was doing it so attentively and precisely that it appeared to me that he loved every second of it. I asked him, “Dad, do you like doing that?” He replied, “You don’t always need to like what you do to love what you do.”
Do what you need to do, so that you can do what you want to do. Do what you need to do FIRST, so that you can do what you want to do LATER.
When you do something long enough, you get good at it. Whatever you’re good at, you’ll grow a passion for.
