Intellectuals are not those who speak over people’s heads. That’s a decoy; beware. Intellectuals are those who understand and can speak about a topic at multiple levels of granularity.

Self-care, during times of high-stress, is essential. It sounds simple and obvious, but, when we’re in survival mode, many of us don’t take good enough care of ourselves.
Eat/Hydrate Well
Sleep Well
Move Well
Think Well
Laugh
This week, commit to mastering 3 of these. 🤝

Leadership is not a rank or a position to be attained.
Leadership is a service to be given.

Happiness requires struggle. Without struggle, the world would lack meaning and our joys would feel empty. Be grateful for your struggles, because within them is the constant opportunity for purpose.

When you get knocked down, sometimes you need to stay there until you figure out how you got there, and what needs to happen when you get up.⠀

You need to get up stronger. Taller. Smarter. Focused. More resilient.… instagram.com/p/CD1_-c2nFxf/…

Training your mind to be stronger than your emotions in athletics fuels success; trying strategies without practice in a stressful moment is like running a marathon w/out training & expecting to win.Train the mind frequently so instinctively it knows how to respond under pressure
We’ve made our home in @RichmondHghtsMO and it’s one of the best neighborhoods we’ve ever experienced. We are so blessed/grateful; but this, brings it to a whole new level...
Thanks @RedAndBlackBB - what do ya think @StLouisBlues... 🎼 “Oh when the Blues..go marching in..” 🎵

This might be my favourite part from our chat with @persie_official. The advice he gave to his 13 yr old son to take control - and the reaction he got! Relevant to all of us.

Before suggesting-coaching a technical change, be SURE that the change you seek is not just for the sake of fitting a technical model into your pre-existing bias of what you think it *should* look like
