Morality. Discipline. Respect. Freedom. Let’s all get better today than we were yesterday.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Happiness is having better problems.
Success is having better failures.
Discipline is having better addictions.

My definition of success is waking up energized and going to bed exhausted. Waking up energized means I’m doing meaningful things with people I love. Going to bed exhausted means I gave my all for those things. That’s a good life.

The Rams put every WR's favorite WR together with every QB's favorite QB, and it's freaking awesome.

@scump @oakley you guys support this?

Joe Rogan: "Everybody that I know that pushes themselves very hard in the gym or running or whatever... they’re the most happy and the most relaxed, and they’re able to face adversity much easier than people that don’t take care of their body."

Life will test you with the same challenge until you learn the lesson. The same fight in every relationship. The same burnout in every job. The same regret in every missed chance. Until you do the inner work, the outer world won’t change.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

There are two fundamental skills in life:
1) Focus on what you can control.
2) Let go of the rest.

The hardest part of change isn’t choosing the new; it’s letting go of and mourning the old.

@CherylRoge19959 @BBigBrotherBuzz I completely agree. A few more weeks is all I can handle. Rachel stays, I go

@ShimBo84 If Rachel stays, I quit watching.

Everyone needs to read this...

The Empty Boat Mindset:

A monk goes out on a boat in a small lake to meditate. After a few hours of uninterrupted silence, he suddenly feels the jarring impact of another boat bumping into his.

While he does not open his eyes, he feels the irritation and anger building within him.

“Why would someone do that? Can’t they see me here? How dare they disturb my meditation?”

He opens his eyes, ready to shout at the person in the other boat, only to realize that it is empty. It had come untied from the dock and was floating in the middle of the lake.

In that moment, his anger and frustration disappears. After all, you cannot be angry at an empty boat.

The story offers a powerful lesson, which I call the Empty Boat Mindset:

In life, you’re going to experience countless collisions. With people. With environments. With chance circumstances outside your control. Each of these collisions will threaten to derail you. To stoke the fire of anger, stress, and frustration. To knock you off your path.

The truth is that the negative emotions that grow inside you are rarely from the collision itself, but from your perception of the negative intent behind the collision.

If you convince yourself that every collision is a deliberate action by a bad actor, negative emotions will control your entire life. In others words, your interpretation of the collision creates your own poison.

The Empty Boat Mindset is the reminder that most of these collisions you experience in life are with an empty boat. There is no negative intent. There is no desire to harm. They are simply the random collisions of objects floating along on the lake of life.

Interestingly, when you embrace the Empty Boat Mindset, you reassume control over your own boat. You’re no longer prone to the spiraling emotional effects of chance collisions. You are a seasoned explorer, ready to adapt to whatever the seas throw your way.

So, the next time you feel a collision and find your negative emotions growing, pause and ask yourself a simple question:

Am I just getting angry at an empty boat?

The Curse of Competence

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The best opportunities look like tiny cracks, not open doors. Opportunities rarely feel obvious in the moment. Capitalizing on them requires one part awareness (to spot the tiny crack) and ten parts courage (to dive through it).

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Being unhealthy is painful, being healthy is painful, having no relationships is painful, having relationships is painful, being lazy is painful, working really hard is painful.

It's just different flavors of pain. So you might as well pick the flavors of pain that are gonna help you and give you a better set of life.
