This week's post: You were never meant to carry it all

Sometimes There Needs To Be A Double Standard

Because Sometimes 2 Things Are Different

@Audiobooks_collection

When you find yourself struggling with a problem or being annoyed by something this week, stop for a moment and ask: “Is this problem being caused by something I value? If so, is it worth having the problem? Am I happy to have the problem?”

Every significant thing in your life will come with trade-offs....

The trade-offs you're willing or unwilling to make, will determine everything about your professional (and personal) success.

"He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and vet drink death like wine."

- G.K. Chesterton

Be stubborn about getting the life you want but flexible about how you build it.

Your first path won’t be your last path. Stay open minded.

Adjust as needed.

If you keep doing things with all you've got, one of them will work out.

Going all-in on things over & over again.

Most people just don't have the stamina for that.

If you do - you claim the prize.

Listen to what the other person has to say, before you express disagreement with them or hatred for them.

ACTUALLY LISTEN, then explain why you disagree.

This is obvious, but that which is obvious is often under appreciated.

The most valuable asset you own isn't money.

It's your ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you.

Mental clarity is wealth.

Staying alive and not advancing your mission,

is like being 'Just Friends' with a beautiful woman.

Why would you bother?,

As the sun sinks beneath the horizon, a lone black cat watches over the world from a quiet cliffside.

Chill beats for evening study, deep work, or peaceful moments. Visuals designed using Morphic Studio to soothe and inspire as day turns to night. Let the guardian keep you company.

Loop it for an uninterrupted mood.

The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.

Revenge is nothing more than a sentimental waste of time....and energy....and resources....and it involves unnecessary risk.

Revenge Is For Fools.

You will have to work on everything that is worth having in life.

Your career, your relationships - whatever it is...

So if you don't want to work for it?

Totally fine, but be prepared to be very disappointed in the quality of everything you get.

@Audiobooks_collection

Don't be the guy who's good at sounding smart but hasn't done anything with his life.

@Audiobooks_collection

An underrated form of self-sabotage, is focusing too much on other people.

@Audiobooks_collection

Nothing exposes your need for character development like a relationship.

You'll think you have sense, until you realize you have issues with communication, you're impatient, defensive or have trust issues.

Relationships are mirrors-showing us the flaws we didn't know we had.
