[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I'm convinced that adaptability is the highest form of intelligence. Knowledge matters, but the ability to learn and unlearn matters more. To change your mind in response to new information. The rigid cling to what was. The adaptable adjust to what is. The future belongs to them.

[Patrick O'Reilly ☘️ @pmo_us]

@SahilBloom Adaptability isn't about being smart enough to learn.
It's about being secure enough to unlearn. Learning is additive — it feels good. Unlearning means admitting you were wrong. The bottleneck was never IQ. It's ego.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Nobody talks about the lonely part.

“People always talk about talent, but what they don’t wanna talk about is loneliness. The empty gym…”

- Larry Bird

Confidence.
Nobody gives it to you.
You build it rep by rep.
In the gym when no one’s watching. https://t.co/4zIilqfX40

Naval Ravikant reveals how to productize yourself to escape the rat race:

"No one is going to beat you at being you. Find what feels like play to you but looks like work to others"

"It looks like work to them, but to you it feels like play. You're going to outcompete them because you're doing it effortlessly"

"You're doing it for fun. They're doing it for work. To you it's art. It's beauty. It's joy. It's flow"

"The more you do things that are natural to you, the less competition you have. You escape competition through authenticity, by being your own self"

"If I had to summarize how to be successful in life in two words, I would just say productize yourself"

"Be on time" isn't one of Pete Carroll's rules.

"Be early" is.

He won a Super Bowl with 3 rules total.

Rule 1: Protect the team.

Not the slogan. The mindfulness.

It's pulling a teammate out of a fight.
It's not hitting the guy late in practice.
It's the call you make when nobody's watching.

Rule 2: No whining, no complaining, no excuses.

Stolen from Coach Wooden

The point isn't to be upbeat.
The point is your self-talk runs the show.
Words come first. Behavior follows.

Rule 3: Be early.

Not on time. Early.

You can't be early by luck.
You thought about it the night before.
You set the alarm.
You knew the commitment.

Being early is a sign of respect you can see.

Most teams have 12 values nobody can recite.

[Pastor John Hagee @PastorJohnHagee]

We live in the most educated generation in human history.

More degrees. More data. More access to information than any civilization before us.

And yet — we can't agree on what truth is anymore.

Education alone does not make a person good. Hitler's officers had PhDs. They were brilliant by the world's standard. And they were capable of unspeakable evil — because their intelligence had no anchor in God.

Knowledge without God doesn't produce wisdom. It produces power without conscience. Capability without character. It produces what Pastor Hagee called an intellectual barbarian.

Proverbs 1:7 says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Not a supplement to it. Not a nice addition. The beginning. The foundation everything else is supposed to be built on.

We are a generation that is ever learning — consuming content, studying systems, chasing answers — and never arriving at the truth. Because we have removed the One who said, "I am the truth," from the conversation.

She wanted 100,000 people throughout Africa to receive study Bibles before she died.

And by God’s grace, Rosemary Jensen lived to see her vision achieved.

We praise God for Rosemary’s life and for her ministry through the @RafikiFound. Her love of Scripture and her friendship with @RCSproul brought about a now-global outreach, Study Bibles for the World.

Rosemary believed that God works through His Word to transform lives. The steadfast faith that characterized her life still bears fruit as God’s truth goes out to the nations.

Stop allowing bitter, disloyal people to have access to you. Access is a privilege. Treat it like one!

"Indecision is the thief of opportunity." — Jim Rohn

The biggest risk isn't choosing wrong. It's not choosing at all.

[Rick Godwin @ricklgodwin]

In hard times, don’t make your ability to understand God’s ways the condition for trusting him?

[Global Leadership Network @GLNsummit]

Everyone loves the beginning.
Few stay for the middle.
Resilience is built in the middle.

[Global Leadership Network @GLNsummit]

Resilience isn’t just getting through the storm.
It’s what grows because of it.

[Global Leadership Network @GLNsummit]

When someone doubts you, don’t let it feed your self-doubt. Let if fuel your growth.

You don’t have to give up your intellect to trust the Bible. You have to give up your pride!
