Underrated life advice: Become generous with your assumptions. Assume they were tired, not rude. Overwhelmed, not careless. Preoccupied, not distant. This doesn’t mean tolerate disrespect. It means stop turning every small moment into a personal attack. Grace makes life lighter.

@MattFosterTV Man amongst boys…

The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.

You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.

For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.

@HaroldRKuntz3 Exactly!

A rule that will lower your anxiety: Don’t replay conversations you can’t change, and don’t pre-live ones that haven’t happened. Focus on the next right action. Most stress comes from living everywhere except the present.

@PowerMizzoucom That's about all there's left.

@cdotharrison It begs the question: what would a player have to do to miss a year of eligibility?

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Being likable is a bigger advantage than most people realize. Every opportunity comes attached to a human being. People want to hire people they trust. People they enjoy. People they believe in. Relationships are not separate from success. They are often the thing creating it.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated life advice: Let people be wrong about you. You don't need to correct every opinion. You don't need to win every argument. You don't need everyone to understand your choices. The people who matter will figure it out. The rest were never your real friends anyway.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

The older I get, the more I realize that optimism is a competitive advantage. Not blind positivity. The belief that problems can be solved. That things can improve. That your actions matter. People who believe a better future is possible are the ones who create it.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated life advice: Become a purveyor of encouragement. Notice what's good in people. Tell them when they do something well. Celebrate their progress. Root for them to win. Be inspired by their success. The world already has enough critics. Be different.

@klseaboldt Impressive, but not surprising. Unrelated, but Federer's commencement speech at Dartmouth is worth a listen. Second only to Conan O'Brien's speech at the same school.

[Tullian Tchividjian @TullianT]

Pastor, go sit in some recovery meetings. Don’t preach, don’t lecture. Just shut up and listen. Listen to the alcoholic. To the drug addict. To the sex addict. Let it shatter your assumptions and force you to rethink how you see people and the words you choose to say.

[Scott Moots @wsmoots]

@klseaboldt Lebron! 😂

[Scott Moots @wsmoots]

@klseaboldt Same. There was an 80+-year-old lady in the church where I served as pastor who had seen them multiple times, and she never missed a chance to remind me. 😂😂😂

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: You don’t need to impress people, you need to become someone you respect. Build habits you’re proud of. Make decisions you can stand behind. Live in a way that feels honest. Self respect removes the need for outside validation.

[Scott Sauls @scottsauls]

One of the most freeing things you can do is stop waiting for permission to rest. You were not made to be perpetually useful. You were made to be loved, and that has already been settled in Christ.

[Scott Moots @wsmoots]

@klseaboldt You should hear James Brown when he gets in the hot tub! 😂

[Scott Moots @wsmoots]

@klseaboldt @treydayway Then there was the moment you realized the orange “record” button didn’t come down with the “play” button. Absolute disgust.
