Kobe Bryant once said:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition.
If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”
Call me crazy but I’m convinced most of these celebrities (aka “stars”) are fallen angels who have hid themselves among us through millennia. Los Angeles literally means “the angels” and Hollywood is derived from the holly-tree, a symbol revered by druids, witches, and wizards

2030 Giana Sciarrino/ She would step out, cut hands off, and pull head early. Since then, we’ve focused on building better direction, staying through the ball, and finishing every swing with purpose.
Now, the difference is undeniable.
She’s not only developed a more powerful, consistent swing—she’s grown stronger, more athletic.

Growth has a way of spreading.
Push yourself to be better every day, and challenge the people around you to do the same. The right environment doesn’t let you settle, it raises the standard. When everyone is committed to improving, progress becomes contagious.

Friendly reminder: The Dodgers have a systemic advantage that no other MLB team has and it plays a significant role in how the sport ended up in the current situation.
A man who went to prison for talking people out of their money filmed himself doing it live, then sold the method as a course. 7 million people have watched him work.
The man is Jordan Belfort. The film about him made him famous. What almost nobody has done is watch the real one, on camera, running the actual technique on a real prospect for 22 minutes with no script and no edit.
And the way he does it is the reason to watch.
He barely talks about the product. The first minutes are almost entirely questions, and every answer gets used against the person later in his own words. He is not persuading. He is collecting.
Then the phrase the comments turned into a meme. He ends his key sentences with four words that make agreement feel like the neutral option and refusal feel like rudeness. Once you notice it, you cannot unhear it, and you will catch it in the next call you take.
One viewer broke the whole method into 9 steps in a comment. It got 12 thousand likes, which tells you people are studying this video like a manual.
Here is the uncomfortable part. Every technique in it is ordinary sales advice: listen, mirror, remove friction, set expectations. That is exactly what makes it worth studying. The tools were never the crime. The intent was.
Learn what is being done to you and it stops working on you. That is the only defense there is.
22 minutes. No script. It is in the video.
"TRASH" FOODS THAT ARE ACTUALLY MEDICINE
1- Potato skins - contain more fiber and iron than the potato itself
2- Egg yolk - labeled as "bad cholesterol" but contains every fat-soluble vitamin your brain needs
3- Banana peel - boil it for 10 min, drink the water sleep aid deepest natural
4- Watermelon rind - packed with citrulline that cleans arteries and lowers blood pressure
5- Lemon peel - contains 5x more vitamin C and calcium than the juice inside
6- Pineapple core - the part everyone throws away has the highest bromelain for joint pain
7- Onion skin - boil it into tea, one cup delivers more quercetin than any supplement
8- Coffee grounds (used) - rub on skin, breaks down cellulite and kills surface bacteria
9- Overripe bananas - sugar transforms into TNF compound that actively fights abnormal cells
Growth requires a willingness to evolve—to learn, adapt, and become comfortable being uncomfortable. The players who continue to improve are the ones who never stop challenging themselves.

For those that still don’t understand what Benghazi was all about:
🚨So here's the REAL story:
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.
It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!
THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.
Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.
Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.
Bob Knight shares the 4 ingredients of discipline.
"My definition of discipline: Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done - and do it that way all the time."
Discipline is not a moment - it's something you choose for yourself.
1: Do what has to be done → Action
Know the task. Execute the task. No excuses.
2: When it has to be done → Timing
Procrastination is the enemy. Deadlines aren't suggestions.
3: As well as it can be done → Standard
Not halfway. Not good enough. As well as it can be done.
4: Do it that way all the time → Consistency
Not when it's easy. Not when you're motivated. All the time.
Discipline is choosing temporary discomfort for long-term reward.
It's a commitment to yourself - and holding yourself to it.
