Nothing Is Forever

No matter how painful it is, how terrible, just remember, it isn’t forever. Nothing is.

Which goes to say, no matter how good it is, it isn’t forever either. Nothing is.

Be is a Verb

Aspire to something, someone.

Be Cato, Epictetus, Marcus…

Be is a verb, not an end in itself, not a noun.

Be aspiring to do better.

It’s the journey and it’s okay that we never get there. Just as long as we sign up for the journey and put one foot after the other towards what we want to “be”.

Go Time

Go deep

Think hard

Ignore everything else

Do the important

Do the heavy lifting, deep thinking

Stop tabbing

Stop checking

Turn off the dings, the pops, and whatever else crackles, actually, never turn them on

Start thinking

It’s go time

Situational Awareness

Every situation, regardless of how frustrating or angry it might make you feel, is an opportunity for a course correction towards what you want. Maybe even an acceleration towards what you want.

Assuming of course that you know what you want. Right?

And you’re not so caught up in the emotion of the moment that you miss the opportunity.

Forbearance wins the day.

What happens, happens, and this is exactly what I expected to happen.

Wish for what is. Thank it.
