Summer 2024 Lessons – Catching Up


Hi friends

It's been a busy few months and I fell behind on my writing. My priorities have been elsewhere and probably will continue to be for the next while. But I wanted to share a catch up post.

Have a vision in order to see success - drawing with success in focus through a pair of glasses

Each month I keep a list of thoughts, ideas, opinions, and insights that I come across and find interesting. This one is a compilation of a few months so it's a bit longer. From these lists I’ve selected some to share with you:

  • "If you can’t fully see your vision — if you can’t picture what success is and what it isn’t — it becomes very hard to assess opportunities" - Arnold Schwarzenegger
  • "The only difference between them and us, between me and you, between any two people, is the clarity of the picture we have for our future, the strength of our plan to get there, and whether or not we have accepted that the choice to make that vision a reality is ours and ours alone." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
  • "We become leaders the day we decide to help people grow, not numbers." - Simon Sinek
  • "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." - The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli
  • "Beware of overconcern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are." - Rudyard Kipling
  • "Greed is wanting the benefits of community without contributing to it." - James Clear
  • "Moving from compulsiveness to consciousness is the only way out for a human being. Once you live a compulsive life, you are living the life of a slave." - Sadhguru
  • "The greatest sign of an ill-regulated mind is to believe things because you wish them to be so." — Louis Pasteur

I appreciate you.

My thoughts are subject to change and I will get some things wrong. I promise to keep learning and strive to keep doing better. I'm by no means an expert on any topic I may write or make videos about so always do your own research as well. I try to keep an open mind. If I can teach you something and also learn something from you then I'm doing what I set out to do. Thanks for reading. These are just some thoughts.
