I saw a post on Reddit that said, โWhen you walk through a museum, youโre not just looking at art. Youโre moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.โ I donโt think Iโve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.
If you have big goals, realize that the journey will take everything and promise nothing. This is the deal. Donโt be so entitled to think youโre owed results just because you put the work in. Youโre not owed shit. But even if working hard doesn't guarantee success, not working hard guarantees with absolute certainty that you will fail.
the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country

Kyrie Irving shares a motivational speech to young hoopers at camp:
โThis mission is bigger than the basketball court. I pray you guys understand that you have a chance to change your life, with the game of basketball toโฆ gain insight. Gain knowledge. Last year, I had a very traumatic injuryโฆ itโs been a long year mentally and emotionally. When something that you love gets taken away from you for a temporary moment that really defines you.โ ๐

The person you will be in 5 years depends largely on:
1. The books you read
2. The food you eat
3. The habits you cultivate
4. The people you surround yourself with
5. The conversations you engage in
6. The mindset you adopt
7. The risks you take and lessons you learn
