"Jalen Brunson Rick Brunson's got to win an NBA championship with his dad as the coach which proves one thing which is that nepotism like most things is way cooler when a black guy does it"
CJ McCollum has made nearly $300,000,000 in the NBA and still flies on credit card points because he’s afraid of going broke
“I had a fear and a paranoia that I was gonna go broke. I always fear like everybody goes broke, so I’m not going to spend money”
“I bought like a $6,000 chain, a big cross, but that was really it. I was afraid… This trip here, I used points to come to New York”
“Points for the trip and for the stay, and gave me $450 in food and beverage”
there is something deeply unsettling about a person who already knows what they need to do but keeps choosing not to. not because they are lazy. not because they don’t care. but because comfort has gotten so familiar to them that it started feeling like home or a place they feel like they belong and that’s the most dangerous place to live.
you already know what to do, you’re just negotiating with comfort. you read the quotes. you watched the videos. you said “this week is different” more times than you can count. and yet here you are. same place. same excuses. same comfort zone. here’s the dangerous part about comfort nobody really talks about. it doesn’t ruin your life in obvious ways. it’s subtle. it shows up as “i’ll start tomorrow”. “just one more day”. “i’m tired today”. i deserve a break”. and little by little you slowly become okay with staying the same. and the worst part? It’s not even lying. you do deserve rest. but there’s a difference between rest and hiding. and deep down, you already know which one you’ve been doing.
there are versions of you that’s capable of far more then you can imagine and they aren’t waiting for the right moment, they’re waiting for you to stop negotiating with fear. the only difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do. so do it tired. do it scared. do it when it’s inconvenient. do the thing you fear cause “what you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do”. and all that kind of courage you just show will give you something you cannot fake. a quiet confidence. a stillness. the kind that comes from knowing you didn’t negotiate when it got hard.
so just get out of your comfort zone and do it, do it slow, do it tired, and it doesn’t even matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop everything will workout. just start moving and remember your life will begin at the end of your comfort zone.
the POWER OF THE TONGUE is REAL. stop claiming you’re TIRED, BROKE, or DEPRESSED. start speaking GRATITUDE. start MANIFESTING GROWTH. start pouring LIFE into yourself
This is crazy. Dianna Russini name dropped like crazy. Said JJ McCarthy sucked, showed texts from Kevin O'Connell said McDermott was fired and Brian Daboll wanted the #Bills job. All in like 6 minutes
We really lived long enough to see @KingJames become the old man version of himself in this iconic 20-year-old @Nike ad campaign.
And somehow he's STILL playing basketball at an insanely high level. 🐐
Will Smith explains why money can't make you happy
“The first half of my life was gather, gather, gather and the second half of my life is going to be give, give, give”
“Once you've bought everything you want and there's literally nothing on Earth else that you want to buy, I just wish that was a gift that everybody could have because there's nothing that material can do to satisfy you”
“It's like drinking salt water. You'll never get enough. You're just going to make yourself more and more thirsty. You realize that no relationship, no money, no kids, there's literally nothing that can make you happy”
“You got to make happy in here. You got to take happy to the people you love. You can't try to get it from them”
