Your leadership is inspiring.. 'One man can change the world!'

"People are strange: They are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter...like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice." - Charles Bukowski

Don't get pulled into rage bait & divisive things.

You get the deal you negotiate.

When someone tries to force you to do something, your nature is to resist. This is true even when the one forcing is you.

When your parents criticize you, you don't stop loving them.

You stop loving yourself.

Most beautiful thing you'll see today.

What real love looks like from an older man, and it brings a younger one to tears.

In a world full of Instagram nonsense, this is love.

Such a cool thought this morning by physicist Alan Lightman:

"Being alive at all is the most extraordinary stroke of good luck any of us will ever experience."

It is your responsibility to not waste this miracle.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.

The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.

Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.

There is just less competition for bigger goals.

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

Great perspective shift when you feel like you “have to do” so many things

No, no…You *get* to do these things!

If you woke up healthy, a roof over your head, enough to eat, and someone who loves you....

You are one of the luckiest people on earth.
