"It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction." - Henry Ward Beecher

What's something you're worried about?

If a magical genie came out of a bottle and granted you a wish—for your life or career—and you knew with 100% certainty that wish would come true, what would you wish for?

[Graham Weaver @GrahamCWeaver]

One of the best ways to improve your self esteem is to perform esteemed acts.

Some examples: complete a tough workout, write a thank you note, call a sick friend, help someone without expecting something in return.

Our identity is formed by our actions and our thoughts.

Merry Christmas!

From my family to yours, I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season.

#3: Suffering is not caused by people in our lives.

Suffering is caused when people in our lives behave differently than how we think they should behave. And we can let go of our expectations at any time.

[Graham Weaver @GrahamCWeaver]

Most suffering happens in our minds. When you really understand this, you can create a higher quality of thought and a higher quality life!

#2: Suffering is not caused because the world is a horrible place.

Suffering is caused when something in our world turns out differently than our expectations. And we have complete control over our expectations.

It's human nature to seek love from those who withhold it and to take for granted the love from those who share it readily.

We'll be happier if we do the opposite – if we lean into the relationships with the people who love us unconditionally and love us for who we really are.

Great culture yields great talent.

Great talent creates great execution.

Execution is more important than strategy.

If you want to win, make your firm one where exceptional people will want to work and spend their career.

“Have the courage to live the life you want to live. You only get one.”

My grandmother said that quote to me a year before she died.

Are you living the life you want to live?

What do you worship?

[Graham Weaver @GrahamCWeaver]

What you “worship” is often your default subconscious story you tell yourself about what matters to you.

[Graham Weaver @GrahamCWeaver]

Accept that your past happened for a reason and made you the person you are now. Have faith and calmness about your future. Feel part of something greater than yourself.

[Graham Weaver @GrahamCWeaver]

What is something in your life for which you can operate from faith instead of fear?
