Bedtime reading: “She emphasised the significance of filmmakers being receptive to diverse races, but not just within Uganda but also internationally…” thank you @newvisionwire newvision.co.ug/category/news/…

Don't let the hope of finding a better way prevent you from starting down the best path you know of right now. This day won't come again.

"It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character." — Marcus Aurelius

Real strength lies in the control or, as Nassim Taleb put it, the domestication of one's emotions, not in pretending they don't exist.

The greatest irony is that it takes years of experience and thousands of hours of practice to learn that the most important rule for life is quite simple: Trust your gut.

Everything that happens to you is a form of instruction if you pay attention.

Your entire life will change when you stop thinking it will be easy and start paying the cost of entry for the things you want with pride.

Create a ladder of values and priorities in your life, reminding yourself of what really matters to you.

"Devote the rest of your life to making progress." — Epictetus

Do not confuse things that are hard with things that are valuable. Many things in life are hard. Just because you are giving a great effort does not mean you are working toward a great result. Make sure that mountain is worth climbing.

Don’t be surprised how fast everything works out for you when you let go of something that’s been holding you back mentally, emotionally, and energetically.

The selfish reason to drop envy is that it’s an illusion. It creates fake enmity, accomplishes nothing, and you wouldn’t swap your entire self with them anyway. @naval

It’s only the misfits who have a chance. @naval

Being yourself is a continuous effort. There is always another expectation placed upon you, another person pulling you toward their preferences, another nudge from society to act a certain way. It's a daily battle to be yourself, not merely what the world wants you to be.

The elevation that has taken place within you will give you access to view the world from an expanded perspective that it inspires new dreams in your mind, new love in your heart, and new ways of living. It only gets better daily!

@LarryMadowo @PPJ_Bekkers 🤣🤣🤣

This doesn’t happen often but the Dutch ambassador to Geneva @PPJ_Bekkers outshone my socks 👏🏾

Creating anything worthwhile is like a marathon, and you must train for it.

If your opinions line up neatly with those of your friends and colleagues, they’re not your opinions. @naval
