Problems with Kevin Hart

November 30, 2020 08:00 - 3 minutes - 1.69 MB

Today’s quote is from Kevin Hart’s book titled “I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons” “It’s easy to complain about your life—how tough it is, how unfair it is, how stressful it is, how everyone else has it much better. But if you step into the life of someone you envy for just a day, you’ll discover that everyone has their own problems, and they’re usually worse than yours. Because your problems are designed specifically for you, with the specific purpose of helping you grow.” ...

Promise Yourself

November 29, 2020 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.03 MB

Today’s poem is called “Promise Yourself” by Julie Herbert “Of all the things you can do, Promise yourself you will try. It doesn't even matter if you win, As long as you apply. No one can ask of anything, Of you, except yourself. If you don't want to make a move, It's you who'll be left out. So don't allow yourself to miss, Out on important things. You may not feel that they are worthy, Yet turn out to be your wings. Experiences make us whole, And mak...

Damian Lillard on Pressure and Perspective

November 28, 2020 08:00 - 4 minutes - 1.84 MB

Today’s quote comes from my favorite basketball player, Damian Lillard. When asked about the pressure, he said: “This is just playing ball. Pressure is the homeless man, who doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. Pressure is the single mom, who is trying to scuffle and pay her rent. We get paid a lot of money to play a game. Don't get me wrong - there are challenges. But to call it pressure is almost an insult to regular people." All credit goes to the author. The question o...

10 Ways to Declutter Your Life

November 27, 2020 08:00 - 6 minutes - 2.92 MB

Yesterday was Thanksgiving here in the US and today is Black Friday which means we’ve now fully entered the holiday season where we feel enormous pressure to buy and acquire more and more things and stuff, most of which we don’t really need. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with giving gifts to our loved ones but it tends to lead to an enormous amount of clutter in our lives. Here are 10 ways to declutter your life: Throw out all single socks Donate/throw out any shirts, shorts, or ...

Controlling Your Emotions with Ryan Holiday

November 25, 2020 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.71 MB

Today’s quote comes from the Ryan Holiday’s book, “The Obstacle is the Way”. I’ve been fascinated with Ryan’s work lately and these words jumped off the page and captured the essence of stoicism so perfectly I had to share. “If an emotion can't change the condition or the situation you're dealing with, it is likely an unhelpful emotion. Or, quite possibly, a destructive one. But it's what I feel. Right, no one said anything about not feeling it. No one said you can't ever cry. Forget "man...

Self-Belief with Russ

November 24, 2020 08:00 - 5 minutes - 4.54 MB

Today’s quote comes from the Atlanta-based rapper, Russ. I stumbled upon his music around 2017 and have been hooked ever since. “I have a dream like everyone elses in this universe may have and i always ask myself 'Am i strong enough to face my destiny? Smart enough to face my problems? Brave enough to face my fears? And stupid enough to risk my life?' If it would be 'No' then, 'Disapointed' but if 'Yes' then, 'So be it'.” All credit goes to the author. Now the question of the day is,...

How Did You Die?

November 23, 2020 08:00 - 5 minutes - 5.27 MB

“How Did You Die?” By Edmund Vance Cooke “Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce, Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts, But only how did you take it? You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that! Come up with a smiling face. It's nothing against you t...

Our Deepest Fear

November 22, 2020 08:00 - 4 minutes - 4.21 MB

“Our Deepest Fear” (Coach Carter version) "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously ...

“If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again”

November 21, 2020 08:00 - 4 minutes - 4.04 MB

“If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again” by Diane Loomans “If I had my child to raise all over again, I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later. I’d finger paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes. I would care to know less and know to care more. I’d take more hikes and fly more kites. I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and...

The Will to Win

November 20, 2020 08:00 - 4 minutes - 3.88 MB

“The Will to Win” by Berton Braley If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it If life seems all empty and useless without it And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, Lose all...

A Creed to Live By

November 19, 2020 08:00 - 2 minutes - 2.11 MB

“A Creed to Live By” by Ennis Parish “Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others – It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem is important – only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart – cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future – by livin...

Don't Quit

November 18, 2020 20:30 - 1 minute - 1.67 MB

“Don’t Quit” by John Greenleaf Whittier "When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and the debts are high; And you want to smile, but you have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems afar. So, stick to the fight wh...
