Good morning to everyone but Kansas City, #ChiefsKingdom fans & She Who Shall Not Be Named. I don’t need her minions in my mentions for the next week. But you can rest assured she saw her man play hot potato with that football before Houston sent his team packing. #HTownMade🤘🏼🔥
@NateSilver538 Remember Orwell’s last rule, which is to break the rules to avoid stupid stuff.
It’s a little like operating in a foreign culture. The formal rules are easy, knowing when to break them is the mark of a real insider.
Cooper Kupp's mindset is a blueprint for the inner game of performance.
“From Monday through Saturday, I do everything I can to be the best version of myself…Once I step on the field, it doesn’t matter. The results don’t matter. I get to play from victory, not for victory.”
You can’t play free until you’ve done the work.
Preparation builds confidence.
Detachment unlocks freedom.
When you combine the two, you perform from a place of peace, not pressure.

I’m staying at an airport hotel, and this morning I wandered down to the lobby to grab coffee just as the sun rose. The sweet hostess at the restaurant told me it cost $3, so I should just make coffee in my room.
I said: "I'm not just coming down for the coffee. I'm coming down to move my body and see the sun rise, and the coffee is just an excuse."
She smiled and she poured me a free cup. Much of life is like this. Much of what we do serves more than one purpose, and I'd bet that a solid half of my cups of coffee aren't actually about the coffee itself. Sometimes, I need a break. Sometimes, I need to move my body. Sometimes, I need to be in the presence of people, if only for a few minutes, even if I don't end up talking to anybody.
Another example: the doorman at a nice hotel isn’t just opening doors. He’s a security guard with sharp eyes and street smarts, greeting you with a “hello” that’s infinitely warmer and more comforting than any automatic sliding door at a Holiday Inn, which is technically more efficient.
I say all this because we live in a world obsessed with efficiency, where we're constantly trying to distill every action down to a single practical utility, but life isn't so reductive.
5. Be consistent at practice. Don't change what u work on after every loss
6. Stick to your plan. Don't add plays.
7. Don't listen to the noise. The job is hard. Few will believe in you.
The biggest issue with leverage compared to the other two is that leverage can make you feel like a genius most of the time. Then you have this cognitive bias that your more intelligent than you are so you use more and more leverage keep getting wins until the tail risk hits and you get blown up.
5 years old - Mom, I love you.
12 years old - Mom, I can't stand you.
16 years old - My mother is very annoying.
18 years old - I'm leaving this house.
25 years old - Mom, you were right.
30 years old - I want to go to my mom's house.
50 years old - I don't want to lose my mother.
70 years old - I would give up everything to have my mom here with me.
You only have one mom. Take care of her while she's still alive.
