@TheEXECUTlONER_ Are my eyes tricking me, or does the sign on the front of that store say "WhatabureR"?

This is in Kerrville,Texas. Flooding everywhere but there is still a line at Whataburger. ❤️ Texans sure do love their Whataburger!💯 Texas Strong 💪🇺🇸

@GigaBasedDad Honesty in the face of consequences is courage. Good thought.

You are the standard for your son

"A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart." -Proverbs 18:2 (NKJV)

Can't have mountaintops without valleys. If you're in the valley right now: Take heart. Chin up. Keep climbing. 💪

It's a great day to build toward the life you want. What are you working on today?

@dickiebush Tell yourself a story and your brain starts finding the evidence to support it. Useful tool when used properly.

My life got a lot better when I started viewing everything as rigged in my favor. Tragedy. Heartbreak. Victory. Risk. Devastation. Euphoria. Uncertainty. No matter what happened, I operated with a foundational belief that I would be fine either way. And magically, I was, once I started believe so.

"Being wanted somewhere real beats being invisible somewhere famous." Goes beyond baseball.

The good life isn't something you find. It's something you build. What are you building today?

Thought provoking quote I heard today: "The people you admire did not have certainty before they acted."

If you rank the stuff on today's "to-do list"... And work through it by order of importance... You'll almost surely find the 10 minutes you spent doing this saved you much more time that would've been lost to distractions and "All right, now what should I do next?"

@michaelgervais Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

There are three basic buckets for a psychological framework. I don't know any world-class performers that don't believe the future is going to work out well. But optimism is learned—anything learned can be adjusted. 1. Optimism - Not soft. It's at the center of mental toughness. The mental discipline to stay the course when shit is not going right. 2. Locus of control - Are you controlling what's 100% in your control? Working towards that or caught up in the noise of things you can't control? 3. Grit - Passion and perseverance for long-term goals. Get those three cobbled together on a consistent basis—that's durability on the long play in life.

@mattvanswol You can change the culture of a neighborhood for the better by just waving at people.

A 4-year-old boy whose father left him, stood outside every single day for months waving at strangers... just hoping somebody would say hi back, in North Carolina. Then one neighbor walked across the street to meet him. Now an ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD shows up for his soccer games, his swim lessons, his birthday parties. Roman Butzlaff is 4 years old, from Concord NC, just outside Charlotte. His mom says he wakes up every single morning excited to say "hi" to somebody. It's the very first thing he wants to do. But behind that big smile was a hurting little heart. His parents split about a year ago and his dad moved away. Then a neighbor named Wade Fulgum did the simplest, most powerful thing in the world. He just walked across the street... and met the little boy who was always waving at him. And it spread. Now about a DOZEN neighbors, people who barely knew each other's names, show up for Roman's soccer games. His basketball games. His swimming lessons. Even his preschool open house. His birthday party guest list was basically a map of the block. One neighbor said it best: "If the world was like this child, what an awesome, awesome place it would be."

@JoshChambers @TomBrady @TB12sports @Patriots @Buccaneers @TomBradyMuse12 @PatriotsDaily @PatsBuzz @MikeReiss @DougKyed @newheightshow @PhilAPerry Bring the juice every day.

Alright 🔥 I'm watching this @TomBrady clip on overcoming self-defeating attitudes and taking ownership of your situation every morning after I wake up this week to get juiced 🔋 up: Do the best with what you've got, not with what you wish you had. The moment you stop blaming circumstance, is the moment you start getting better. 📈 Energy, attitude, and effort are choices. Ownership is the foundation they all rest on. 💪

@Rainmaker1973 "Again?!!" 🤣

The kids wanted to prank their dad, and he did exactly what they wished for.

I'm tired now, but it's the good kind of tired. The tired you earn from a day of hard work, good effort.

@SMB_Attorney Ego is the enemy.

As I get older, I’ve become convinced that training yourself to be unemotional is the number one skillset for success in business and life. Getting mad, letting your pride interfere, being jealous, wanting to score points backfires 100% of the time. Exercise and time is a key.

@PeterMallouk Changing your vocabulary from "have to" to "get to" goes a long way.

What a privilege…

@the_mony_ Knowledge is good. But at some point you've got to take that knowledge and do something with it.

Reading a hundred books won't change your life. Applying just one idea from a single book will do more for you than finishing a hundred you never act on. Stop collecting information and start extracting the one thing you can use today.

@LeadersJunction Was going to get emotionally reactive to the fact that "Breath" should be spelled "Breathe." But then I thought about the meaning of the post and kept my cool. :-)

@JermaineCurtis It's mentally tough not to let one L turn into two. But the mentally tough can refocus quickly. And without fuss.

I worked with a D1 player and a D3 player this morning. On paper... They looked almost identical. 6'4 200 pounds... Both had elite bat speed. Both had power. Both were physically gifted. But there was one difference. Every time the D3 player mishit a ball... He complained. He got frustrated. He pouted. Then he'd struggle for the next 3 or 4 swings. Pop-up. Ground ball. Weak contact. The D1 player? He'd mishit one. Make an adjustment ...And move on. No emotion. No drama. Just the next pitch. It reminded me of something I learned playing professional baseball... Sometimes the biggest difference between two players isn't their talent. It's the conversation they're having with themselves in their head after they fail. Your bat speed matters. Your swing matters. But the operating system between your ears matters just as much. The best hitters I've been around don't waste energy explaining why they failed. They spend their energy figuring out what to do on the next pitch. - Jermaine Curtis P.S. The next time you mishit a ball, don't ask, "What's wrong with me?" Ask, "What's my adjustment?" P.P.S. - If you enjoyed this, and thought it was helpful, share it. (It tells me you want more content like this)
