The whole law of human existence consists in nothing other than a man's always being able to bow before the immeasurably great. If people are deprived of the immeasurably great, they will not live and will die in despair. The immeasurable and infinite are as necessary for man as the small planet he inhabits. - Fyodor Dostoyeusky

Today’s lesson;

Most people wait for the blessing before they give thanks.   Gratitude comes first.

Make it a habit to respect People without knowing their qualifications, title, or position.

Always remember!

Things don't go as planned for a reason. Missed opportunities are often life's gentle redirections. Trust the detour - it's guiding you to something better.

Stop trying to control everyone. Let people do their thing, let the process unfold. Energy flows to those who focus on what they can control.

You learn more about someone in the small moments than in any meeting.   How they speak to the server when something is wrong. How they respond when there is nothing to gain. How they carry themselves around people who cannot elevate them.   Most people perform up the ladder. Few stay consistent across it.   That is where the signal is.

Any money you spend on eating well, dressing well & exploring the world is never a waste.

Never lose hope!

Your crew can level you up or drag you down. Fix it fast. Cut one energy vampire this month. Add one person who challenges you.

Preparation leads to real success.

You will never feel fully ready.   Clarity comes after movement, not before it.   Most people wait for certainty and stay exactly where they are.   Start.

The most dangerous person in the world is the one who shows up every single day even when the rewards are uncertain. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.

No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar.

Coquettes know how to please; not how to love, which is why men love them so much. — PIERRE MARIVAUX

You'll be 10x happier if you forgive your parents and stop blaming them for your problems.

just let them. if they choose someone else, let them. if they ignore you, misunderstand you, judge you, or act like you don't matter, let them. you don't need to beg anyone to stay or prove your worth to people who don't even try to see it. the right people will stay, love you even when you're not at your best, and never make you feel hard to love.

If you look at the moon, you'll see the beauty of God.

Don't outshine your boss. Being defeated is hate-ful, and besting one's boss is either foolish or fatal. Superiority is always odious, especially to superiors and sovereigns. The common sort of advantages can be cautiously hidden, as beauty is hidden with a touch of artful neglect. Most people do not mind being surpassed in good fortune, character, or temperament, but no one, especially not a sovereign, likes to be surpassed in intelligence. For this is the king of attri-butes, and any crime against it is lèse-majesté. Sovereigns want to be so in what is most important. Princes like to be helped, but not surpassed. When you counsel someone, you should appear to be reminding him of something he had forgotten, not of the light he was unable to see. It is the stars who teach us this subtlety. They are brilliant sons, but they never dare to outshine the sun.
