A peak life advice from Alex Hormozi:
“The fastest way to become the person you want to be is to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to become them.”
Stan Lee’s cameo in MALLRATS (1995) is still one of his best. Long before Marvel turned him into a recurring Easter egg, Kevin Smith gave him an actual scene, and somehow the conversation about love and relationships ends up being genuinely heartfelt.
Marlon Wayans says he had $700 in the bank and $900 rent before creating The Wayans Bros
“When we left In Living Color, I had $700 in the bank and $900 rent. I was broke and my brother Shawn was looking at me like, ‘What are we going to do now?’”
“Shawn was depressed. He'd sit in a dark room and play Christmas music because Christmas was a happy time for him”
“We always had a bottle of Diet Pepsi and I would sit there like we did on In Living Color”
“One day he came out of the room and said, ‘What are you doing, stupid?’”
“I said, ‘I'm working on our TV show’”
“The first thing he read was, ‘Interior. Outside’”
“He said, ‘Stupid, how do you have interior outside?’”
“And we sat down and created The Wayans Bros”
In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the Men of the Mountains, better known as the Dead Men of Dunharrow (Oathbreakers), were not actually cursed by Isildur, nor did the One Ring have anything to do with their fate. 💀
The Men of the Mountains had sworn an oath to aid Isildur against Sauron. In Middle-earth, such oaths were often made in the names of the Valar and sometimes even Eru Ilúvatar Himself. When they broke that oath, they became Oathbreakers, bound by a sacred vow they could not escape.
Importantly, Isildur did not possess the power to prevent Men from passing beyond the world after death. Not even Manwë or Námo Mandos could alter the fate of Men, as that authority belonged to Eru alone. The Dead Men of Dunharrow remained in Middle-earth because Eru ratified the oath and its consequences through Isildur's words.
The One Ring had nothing to do with their fate. It was not the power of Isildur, nor the power of the Ring, that bound them to the world. It was the power of a broken oath sworn before Eru Himself.
However, this was not a permanent curse. Centuries later, after fulfilling their oath to Aragorn, Isildur's heir, the curse was lifted and their spirits were finally allowed to rest.

"On my off days, I’d go work with these brands and get a bag, bring in a couple 100 bands, and I could just eat off that and not worry bout my game check."
A true role model on and off the field 👏
Just left the funeral of a friend that took his own life this week. He was one of the nicest, kindest, most selfless people ever always helping others. He would do anything to make someone smile that needed it so it made me think of one of my favorite quotes from the late Robin Williams.
"I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anyone else to feel like that."

Dwayne Johnson explains why he stopped calling things failures
"These days for me, where I'm at in my life, failure is measured by me as a human being, me as a man and me as a father”
"I find myself these days being more reflective and contemplative about being a dad and a man. I had a complicated relationship with my old man but I learned so much from him but also a lot of the stuff that I didn't want to be”
“What I also did, I understood the value of not calling it a failure and just calling it a lesson. I realized our brain is always listening to us, so when we say stuff like, oh man, I really messed up, it gets in there”

Michael B. Jordan says he faced many rejections at a young age and that motivated him to continue
"at that age you take rejection personally...and I used it as a healthy chip on my shoulder to motivate myself to continue working hard and stay locked in"
"it also fortified this belief of what's for me is for me and nobody can take my blessings from me and I cannot take anything away from anybody else"
