Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
I have a rule: I’m slow to trust anyone that wasn’t cool in high school. Not because being cool makes you trustworthy. It’s because NOT being cool during that time leaves most people with lifelong cope complexes that seep into everything they do, for the rest of their life.

“He the top guy. Let Josh Hart or somebody else take less. They in my role. Guess what, Steph Curry ain't take a penny less. And neither did Klay Thompson ain't take a penny less. I don't know what he doing. That's $100 million”
