Living Simply 🌹

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

An underrated cheat code in life: being incredibly reliable. Show up on time. Do what you say you will. Own your mistakes. It goes so much further than you think.

[Pretty Fruitful with Rita @PrettyFruitful]

Every year, I convince myself that December will be a breeze. Time to stop living in denial! 😄

@readswithravi This has been on my reading list for a while now.

Things have a way of working themselves out.

I sometimes feel like I’m not good enough or knowledgeable enough to share Christ with others, but this excerpt is encouraging.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

Inhale. Exhale.

I look forward to wrapping up this season.

Let’s end the night with an audiobook.

One of my favourite ways to decompress is to see what Pinterest drops on my feed. It seldom disappoints.

Here’s some of what it brought me today. So sweet…🥰

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

It feels so good to tie up loose ends.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

Something I’d been struggling to get done suddenly fell into place so neatly—with minimal effort from me.

Sometimes you really just need to let go! 😊

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

You know what I find amusing?

Tomorrow I may completely forget all about posting here when the work week starts off with a bang—as it always does. 😄

Let’s see what happens.

If I had to summarise this year so far, it would be this quote I stumbled across:

“God is in the details”.

So much has happened.

Some amazing things and some confusing things, but in hindsight, it’s all falling into place.

I’m grateful.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

That’s the goal…

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

Something I’ve realized in my 30s is to treat life like a video game. Crush challenges. Gain skills and experience. Upgrade your character. If you fail you reboot and start again. Keep trying til you win the game then onto the next.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

A friend and I were discussing this today.

[Ben Wilson @BenWilsonTweets]

"In high school, ambitious students compete even harder to appear omnicompetent.

By the time a student gets to college, he’s spent a decade curating a bewilderingly diverse résumé to prepare for a completely unknowable future.

Come what may, he’s ready, for nothing in particular."

- Peter Thiel

You know, I think they're right...

[Incentivising @incentivising]

I have seen intelligent people destroy their careers by never learning to play dumb.

Showing your full intellect in every interaction signals a threat to those above you.

They will become defiant.
They will resent you.

Strategic ignorance, however, lets others feel superior.

They relax.
They reveal information.

Then you are free to act on what you learned, while they underestimate you.

Ask clarifying questions you already know the answer to.

Intelligence is power.
Hide it until deployment.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

People aren't your source. God is.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

Wow! It's been almost a year since I posted anything here. A lot has happened in that year. Mostly good things, and I am super grateful for that.

[Rita @SimplyRXJ]

I know we’re all figuring things out as we go along, but the journey still feels surreal. Learning new things and applying knowledge fascinates me.
