We have to remember what we’re doing all the work for: - Time with family - Freedom to travel - Enjoying hobbies Life isn’t a meal, you can enjoy dessert before you finish your veggies.

Who is the @tryramp of HR/payroll software?

Presence before service. Relationship before mission.

Don’t let a messenger you don’t like keep you from getting a message you need. Learn 2x as fast if you learn from both the best and the worst around you.

Is it that lovers of history become empathetic to others, or is it that empathetic people become lovers of history? I don’t often find one without the other in a person - perhaps because both involve putting yourself in another’s shoes.

Feeling bad doesn’t mean you’re doing bad, it’s natural to feel stuck sometimes. Recognize those feelings and choose actions that aren’t controlled by them. You don’t have to act the way you feel, you can act as if you feel amazing—and that’s how you break free from the rut.

You cannot envy the benefits of someone’s life without also envying the costs.

@LuizCent Those guys are the most dangerous 😉

@thejimwall What about the Jiminism?

The promise of communism: you will no longer be exploited by the Rich Man. The promise of capitalism: work hard and you can become the Rich Man. Neither promise is guaranteed, but one works best with the true nature of man and his ego.

Aspiration is the combination of inspiration and reality. Only inspirational makes it just a dream. Only realistic means it’s just work. Bringing these two together is how an idea becomes a movement and changes the world.

Being indecisive lulls us into a sleep, and time will fly until we finally wake up again. Choice brings responsibility, responsibility is often accompanied by fear. That’s okay. You can’t run a marathon without getting tired, and you can’t do important work when you’re asleep.

Youth have time and energy but don’t fully grasp their value. The elderly, with less vitality, deeply understand time's worth & find peace in stillness. Who holds the true advantage—those with energy & time ahead, or those with wisdom & appreciation for life’s fleeting moments?

@JTorreCoaching The blazing humidity of south Florida in the summer, a truly worthy foe😅 75 Hard is badass, but so is 84 My Version Hard. That turkey is gonna taste So good!

@thejimwall 45 is impressive! What brought you down at Day 45? Funny you say I should create my own challenge...in today's journal entry - "My Version of 75 Hard" (It will actually be 84 Hard as my target date is Thanksgiving.)

Vertigo took me down w/only 20 days left of 75 Hard. Wild & incapacitating😵‍💫 I’ve delivered humans into this world w/o meds, gotten stitches in a dr’s kitchen w/o numbing, run marathons, and eaten plain greek yogurt. Not sure I have much to prove re: mental toughness. And yet…I do like to finish what I start. What to do, what to do…

@JTorreCoaching I think you nailed the reasons Jeanne. So often social media is used as an outlet to feel justified or just vent. But also true, I’ve found that Reddit is the best for dorky, hilarious comments.

@thejimwall It’s a winning strategy. What are we really seeking when we go to comments with some posts - confirmation of our thinking? Evidence to justify outrage? (Of course there are some posts where the comments are king and affirms people are hilarious.)

My wife’s winning social media strategy: don’t read comments…on any post. This is great because: - Too many troll bots - 0 accountability, so 0 quality - Algorithm prioritizes mob-think It’s concerning to see, even on my curated feed, the intentional distortion of reality.

You don’t get what you thought you wanted because you’re about to get what was really meant for you.

It’s usually better to do the thing you’ve been putting off suboptimally than to wait. Do some initial prep, and then go after it. Delaying will only inflate the problem and delude you into thinking more prep is needed.

The moment your words leave your mouth, they no longer belong to you. So be thoughtful of what you share and with whom.

Being a giver has amazing benefits, but in the past, it caused me problems. I felt like I needed to figure everything out on my own, and I didn’t ask for help from my friends and family. Then I reframed it to “asking means giving someone a chance to help”, and that’s a win-win.

The better you manage your ego, the better the leader you can be: - Take all the blame - Give away the credit - Give more than you ask - Listen more than you speak Leaders trade short term validation for the delayed gratification of long term outcomes.
