Dwayne Wade on Russell Westbrook:
“Russ is one of the greatest players to ever play basketball. There was a stretch where Westbrook was THE greatest player on the planet hands down, both sides of the floor.”
D Wade knows ball 💯
Syd took to IG to shar an important reminder to not give up:
"I started my career as a self-taught studio engineer, selling studio time out of my bedroom for $10/hour, but my ultimate dream was to be a producer and own my own studio. Opportunity then led me to teach myself how to DJ and tour the world with a group of artists I was engineering and mixing for. Next thing I know I’m 19 with a record deal, which allowed me to start a band with my best friend Matt and put out music on a major label. I couldn’t sing for shit! but we put the music out anyway and our 3rd album got us to the Grammys. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to quit and go back to my original plan of being a studio rat. I hated how I sounded live, was never proud of a performance, but we kept booking shows, so I kept taking advantage of the opportunity, even though I didn’t think I deserved it. Tbh, singing still scares the shit out of me.
I guess I say all this to say… being an artist was never a part of the plan for me but… maybe it was just meant to be?
Don’t turn down them opportunities, yall. You never know where they could lead. "
The best skill I've developed is figuring out how to stay in a good mood even when there’s so many reasons I could be in a bad one. when you start doing this you don’t have bad days you have bad moments in a good day.
Your days have to be SO intentional beyond belief. SO intentional. People waffle around for years and then pick their head up and wonder why they have nothing. Every minute counts. Every hour you commit to the right thing sets you up for in a year from now. Every move is intentional. You have so much time in a day if you are intentional. What can I do RIGHT now to fix my health. To get in shape. To nourish my body. To recover. To make money. To build something. To follow my passion. To get myself in the right environment. Every minute. Stack the minutes. Stack the days. Ditch the vices. Ditch the things that hold you back. Pray that God will show you the way and give you the tools that you need. Compound interest in life is powerful. It’s amazing yet also dangerous. Make sure you are compounding the right things.
Someone said “Your older self is begging you to enjoy right now” and I think everyone needs to hear that. This is the youngest you’ll ever be, the present moment is full of potential & blessings if you have the right eyes to see it, and you’re exactly where you need to be my love
