    “I believe it’s true that the difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is the difference between living fully and just existing. The difference between the two is living intentionally and living by accident.”

    Michael Gerber, The E-Myth Revisited (Page 139)

    Rupi Kaur Quote on Love and How Love Isn’t Cruel Or A Game

      “love is not cruel

      we are cruel

      love is not a game

      we have made a game

      out of love”

      Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey (Page 127)

      Beyond the Quote (145/365)

      To all those who suffer from heartbreak, don’t blame love. Love is forever flowing and ever present throughout all that is. Love isn’t one person. Love is what connects us to infinite warmth, gratitude, and grace. Love isn’t temporary. To blame love for being cruel is to blame your entire body when just one cell is at fault. Love is far bigger than any one person. Love is the understructure that provides the foundation for all that is kind, just, and joyous. Love is not cruel.

      Oh, how different the world would look…

        Picture quote about learning to be still from Ryan Holiday

        “How different would the world look if people spent as much time listening to their conscience as they did to chattering broadcasts?  If they could respond to the calls of their convictions as quickly as we answer the dings and rings of technology in our pockets?  All this noise.  All this information.  All these inputs.  We are afraid of the silence.  We are afraid of looking stupid.  We are afraid of missing out.  We are afraid of being the bad guy who says, ‘Nope, not interested.’  We’d rather make ourselves miserable than make ourselves a priority, than be our best selves.  Than be still… and in charge of our own information diet.”

        Ryan Holiday, Stillness is the Key (Page 36)

          “The way you feel when you awake early in the morning and your mind is fresh and as yet unsoiled by the noise of the outside world—that’s space worth protecting.  So too is the zone you lock into when you’re really working well.  Don’t let intrusions bounce you out of it.  Put up barriers.  Put up the proper chuting to direct what’s urgent and unimportant to the right people.” ~ Ryan Holiday, Stillness is the Key (Page 35)

            “Before we can make deep changes in our lives, we have to look into our diet, our way of consuming.  We have to live in such a way that we stop consuming the things that poison us and intoxicate us.  Then we will have the strength to allow the best in us to arise, and we will no longer be victims of anger, of frustration.”  ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, via Stillness is the Key (Page 34)

            James Allen Quote on Strengthening the Mind

              “As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.”

              James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

              Beyond the Quote (98/365)

              The connection between careful and patient training and physical improvements is, in my estimation, much more firm than the connection with training and mental or emotional improvements. One of the main reasons for this might be that physical improvements are tangible—we can see the them, feel them, and are constantly being reminded of them.  Every time we look in a mirror or take a selfie on our phone or see pictures that were posted—we are reminded.

              Why is Consistency the Key? Because It Beats Talent, Good Intentions, Luck, and Even Quality.

                “Consistency beats talent. Consistency beats good intentions. Consistency beats luck. Consistency even beats quality.”

                Beyond the Quote (96/365)

                When does consistency beats talent?

                Well, you have to be consistent enough to bridge the talent gap.  The fact that somebody is ‘talented’ in a certain area implies that they have innate aptitudes, abilities, or skills that start them ahead of you.  But just because somebody has a head start doesn’t mean that they are always going to win.  In fact, this is the basic premise for every underdog story you’ve ever heard.
