WISDOM, PART ONE

wisdom blog1

Things I have borrowed, begged, and stolen from books, movies, conversations, etc.

 

It’s not brave if you’re not scared.

Perfectionism is flawed, terribly so.

Courage is not a loud roar but a statement at the end of the day—“I will try again tomorrow.”

Turn your fear into anger and your anger into revolution.

The road to nowhere is paved with excuses.

Discipline is doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it. —Matthews

No one asked you to do this—you wanted to—so shut up and do it.

Willpower: You must reprogram yourself to make the harder choice, take the higher path.

How much discomfort can you suffer now for a long-term goal? (This whole country is immediate gratification.)

There will never be enough time, so pick your battles. And always do the hardest things FIRST—ONE BY ONE UNTIL IT’S DONE.

Be nice but DO NOT SUFFER FOOLS and zealots.

When you are struggling with a challenge, review your WHYs! —Sinek and Matthews

You must be more interested in remaking yourself than breathing. —Hero the band

Great leaders don’t blame the tools they are given; they work to sharpen them. —Sinek

People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. —Sinek and King

Great leaders use heart, not mind. YOUR MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IS YOUR GUT.

I can make decisions with 30 percent of info. 80 percent is too much. You don’t need all facts and figures. Lead! —C. Powell

Rage against the dying of the light.

You must now set the bar higher in all things.

We should all prepare a place where we can accommodate all the tragedies that sooner or later will come to our lives. —Jefe in The Counselor

We announce to the darkness we will not be diminished by the brevity of our lives. —Cormac

Price of sheep—boredom. Price of wolf—loneliness. —H. MacLeod

When you are working, you give 100 percent FOCUS. When you are not working, RELAX and give yourself a break. Do not multitask. You can lose your entire day half working and being available to everyone in the world except for the people who matter the most.

All you have to do is figure out what is important you and then EXECUTE. Execution and instinct always trump knowledge. ACT. DECIDE AND ACT.

Don’t list—do it!

You can’t save everyone.

What would Willie do? 🙂 Pick, sing, and listen.

Focus on results, always.

I spent time being a coward and I’ll never go back. —Keith Richards

All you do is sit down every day and grind, and unseen forces will enlist. Heaven will come to your door. Power will concentrate around you. You earn favor in her sight. Iron fillings. —from The War of Art
