Women aside, I apply this to my life as a whole. Personally I’m attracted to people that inspire me to better myself so that we can be better together. I don’t like to surround myself with unambitious people. I want to look at my friends/family and feel driven to be bigger/better

This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:

“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

Normalize praying before embarking on journeys. Long or short. Leaving your house and returning safely is a blessing.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Kyrie Irving shares a motivational speech to young hoopers at camp:

“This mission is bigger than the basketball court. I pray you guys understand that you have a chance to change your life, with the game of basketball to… gain insight. Gain knowledge. Last year, I had a very traumatic injury… it’s been a long year mentally and emotionally. When something that you love gets taken away from you for a temporary moment that really defines you.” 🙏

If you're earning between $100,000 - $300,000 from 25-35 make sure you use it to your advantage

It's good to be able to buy everything, but being a consumer just isn't what it's about when you're way ahead of your peers financially

#1 priority with money should be investments

[That Rabbit Guy @Son_ImSleep]

As an adult, it’s important not to make your paydays the only days, life will fly past you constantly waiting for Friday

[🥷 @_iamhabeeb]

job shaming is so lame. everybody is just trying to survive.

[Lawrence Kitema @lawrencekitema]

When you ask someone for money and they say they don't have it, don't take it personally — you also don't have it.

[Vonn @itsthewealth4me]

20s & 30s really set the tone for giving you the edge with compound interest

Anyone telling you differently, is lying to you

You can long term invest later on, but the compounding isn’t the same

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

Really take your time getting to know people. Don't be so excited to connect. People have so much hidden intentions, hidden relationships, hidden personality traits! They will do everything to impress you before showing themselves. TAKE YOUR TIME. Say NO sometimes. Don't go out of your way to impress too soon! Sometimes those 'vibes' be ACTS. Protect your peace.

[Vonn @itsthewealth4me]

Everything you desire is not built on the standard of comparing yourself to people who you feel have done less

If you’re boosting yourself up using that, you’re already in a losing position

[Arky @arkcarlly]

Normalize not forcing your importance in someone's life. Let people do what they want so you can see what they'd rather do. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them.

[Nae @NaesCloset]

Yes exactly, if no one is around to do it with you then do it alone! I’ve realized you evidently meet the people you’re met to be around when you’re actively showing up in that space/energy.

take it personal. at this age, people are 100% aware.

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

you’ll get rejected and dumped and fired and you’ll fail at things you were sure about, that’s just the cost of being alive. the question isn’t whether it’ll happen but how quickly you can get yourself back to swinging at the next opportunity. every day you spend hostage to what already happened is a day you’re not creating what’s next. reset fast.

the older i get the more i realize how pointless it is to tell people my business

[27. @dimvji]

takes insane discipline to actually go ghost and get your life right

[ROYZ @royzkingin]

“Time will tell” is one of the realest quotes ever because time will eventually tell who put in the work, it will tell who was disciplined, it will tell who was playing the long game. Time will indeed tell.
