"In the second half of life, we do not have strong and final opinions about everything, every event or most people, as much as we allow things and people to delight us, sadden us, and truly influence us.” @RichardRohrOFM on @BreneBrown Unlocking Us podcast
There’s a trend in Spanish slang of describing someone with an overly high opinion of themselves as a powerful fictional character, but of a tiny territory. Examples are ‘Yeti of the fridge freezer,’ ‘Aquaman of the toilet bowl,’ and ‘Tarzan of the flowerpot.’ Anybody got more?
We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.
Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.
It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.
The Lion Razor
If you have the choice, always choose to sprint and then rest.
Most people are not wired to work 9-5—long periods of steady, monotonous work.
If your goal is to do inspired, creative work, you have to work like a lion.
Sprint when inspired. Rest. Repeat.
People always tell me "you're lucky"
I don't call it luck, I call it Return on:
• Time
• Effort
• Knowledge
• Relationships
Here's a simple framework for you to create luck in your life:
力の強弱体の伸縮技の緩急を忘るな
Chikara no kyojaku tai no shinshuku waza no kankyu o wasuruna
Nunca olvides la correcta aplicación de la fuerza;la contracción y relajación del cuerpo; la velocidad en las técnicas

"What might I have said had I known this was my last conversation?
How would our conversations end if we just kept that question in mind?
Kindness & generosity would have priority over business & expediency. I would certainly not take for granted those who are closest to me."
Call your parents more often—they won't be around forever.
When you're young and arrogant, death is a theoretical construct.
Realize the people you love won't be there forever.
If your parents are 60 and you visit once a year, you may only see them 20 more times in your life.
Much of our feel good neurochemistry is wired for release only after a mental struggle to arrive at some answer or insight. Learning (and applying knowledge) is the ultimate drug.

Some days, I miss the people with whom I had the privilege to materialize ideas into reality.

A rich life has far less to do with money and far more to do with the consistent pursuit of daily beauty.
Sure the world can be hard and mean. And definitely it can be enchanting and special. If we make the choice to witness this.
