Climbing the ladder of life while living the life of love. A dog toy enthusiast and nacho connoisseur. I called Joe Burrow winning the Heisman on 9/7/2019.
Feeling encouraged. As I’m juggling 2 drinks in each hand and walking through a series of office doors, 3 separate strangers offer to open doors for me.
It’s a small act of kindness but it puts a smile on my face. Inspires me to return the favor! Be a good human ✌️
This letter hit me hard...
Every single person you encounter is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.
Your one tiny action can create powerful ripples that extend far beyond yourself.
Create more ripples.
For anyone out there battling in silence, you’re not alone.
Lift someone up this week for no reason at all.
“I hope you win the war you tell no one about.”
I will speak with everyone, and I will get attacked, derided, and slandered for it.
But I believe in the power of long-form, empathetic conversation to help discover our common humanity, including the good and the evil we are all capable of.
I know I'm underqualified and underskilled for these conversations, so I'll often fall short, as I do in all aspects of my life, but I'll work hard to improve, and will never ever give in to cynicism.
If someone you love and care about voted the other way, today might be a good day to reach out. Not to talk politics, but to talk about things that will remind them (and yourself) why you love and care about them.
Competence is not a very exciting-sounding quality, but it's the most important one to have in a president, especially in tough times. It's why I voted for Biden, and I hope you'll join me.
Déjà blue, n. The sinking feeling of depression at realizing that half the country is willing to forgo competence and character in the most important job on earth
The only friends that matter are the ones you say "I love you, man" ... "Happiness is love. Full stop." That's the finding from the longest study on happiness
Be responsive, be likable, teach something, remove your ego, listen more than you talk, get answers (or know who can), simplify. Note to self: selling is so damn simple.
@JamesClear Why didn't you include ownership as step 2 in the cycle of improvement? Awareness —> Ownership —> Deliberate Practice —> Habit —> Repeat
