What I learned today:

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

- George Bernard Shaw

Live your own life and follow your own plan, not someone else’s.

Set your own course, and through deliberation, craft the person you want to be remembered as.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What i learned today:

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.”

- Helen Keller

Each of us possesses a divine aspect, but no one has them all.

This was done to ensure we work together and rely on each other to achieve our goals.

No one is an island.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs.”

- Farrah Gray

Whatever spark was put in you, flesh it out and work on it until you fail so many times that you run out of ways to fail.

What I learned today:

“The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

- Steve Jobs

I think this one speaks for itself.

If people don’t call you crazy when you tell them about your goals then you’re not dreaming big enough.

what i learned today

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Face your fears. Our true selves emerge through trial and error, not comfort.

Who you are when the world is against you is who you really are.

What i learned today:

“If you believe it will work, you'll see opportunities. If you believe it won't, you will see obstacles.”

- Wayne Dyer

Our beliefs shape our life’s direction. If we expect to lose, we hinder our potential. Instead, approach life expecting to win.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

-Walt Disney

This quote resonated with me a lot. We spend too much time deliberating and fail too late.

Instead, fail early and often to run out of failures and find success.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”

- Helen Keller

All my life I have been told to creep by those who crawl. I refuse to be trapped in that line of thinking.

Often, trying and failing is better than not trying at all.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“In Everything, then, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

- Matthew 7:12

The simplicity of wisdom is often lost on the simple minded.

treat others as you would want to be treated

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“The desire to be perceived as good is the enemy of the desire to get better.“

- Myron Golden

The willingness to get better takes the willingness to admit your flaws and work towards changing them.

The desire to be perceived as good stagnates being good.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children…”

- Proverbs 13:22a

“Houses and riches are the inheritance of fathers…”

- Proverbs 19:14a

I work to ensure my children can fully experience these verses. My wealth is for them, not me.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“You reap what you sow. You reap more than you sow. You reap later than you sow.”

- Myron Golden

Applying Galatians 6:7 gave me a unique perspective on my work…

The 1% I put in results in so much more than 1%.

What I learned today:

“Accept my discipline, and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold;
For wisdom is better than rubies, and all delights are not comparable to her.”

- Proverbs 8:10-11

Wisdom = Skill

Skill = Knowledge + Discipline

Very profound.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What inspired me today:

“Learning never exhausts the mind.”

- Leonardo da Vinci

Life is a continuous journey of learning.

I have learned that failure isn’t really failure if you learn from it. We only truly fail when we fail to learn.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What inspired me today:

“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

- Ernest Hemingway

I have fallen so many times I have lost count.

Its not about the falling down, it’s about getting back up.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

CHRIST DIED SO THAT WE MIGHT HAVE A SLIVER OF A CHANCE TO BE SOMETHING GREATER THAN WE EVER COULD HAVE BEEN‼️‼️‼️

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

I’M POLYCARP‼️‼️‼️

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What I learned today:

“A leader is a dealer in Hope. “
- Napoleon

Christ being the ultimate leader gave us hope for salvation on the cross.

In our lives, we are all leaders, whether we know it or not, make sure that you are speaking hope into people’s lives.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

What inspired me today:

“Impossible is a word found only in the dictionary of fools.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte

I try not to ever limit myself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Even Christ said nothing’s impossible.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

This helped me to not work for outcomes, but rather I work with intention and to consistently get better every single day. The Outcomes will handle themselves.

I hope this served you as well as it has me.

[Ty C. Thompson @TycThompson]

“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”

Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
