Believe me: Life gets a lot better when you stop treating every inconvenience like it's the end of the world. Most things aren't "ruining your day" unless you decide they are.

Major cheat code for life: realizing you can be proud of your progress without being satisfied with your position. You can appreciate how far you've come and still want more. Gratitude and ambition are not enemies. "I'm grateful for this, and I'm not done yet" works quite well.

@blakeaburge One mistake deserves a conversation. The same mistake ten times deserves a decision.
At some point, giving grace turns into volunteering for the same disrespect. I don’t need to prove your intent. The pattern is enough.

@blakeaburge He’s the antithesis of the progressive left. A great American. He did not become a star despite or because of his race. He did it through hard work, courage, and talent.

So I ask you today: How many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes?"
It's a powerful question and one I think about a lot.

The ghosts of the ideas you never acted on. The ghosts of the talents you didn’t use.
And they’re standing around your bed. Angry. Disappointed. Upset. ‘We came to you because you could have brought us to life,’ they say. ‘And now we go to the grave together.’

Point 2: To get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done.

In 2011, Denzel Washington was asked to give a commencement speech at the University of Pennsylvania.
Although the entire message is quite good, a single 54-second segment changed the way I think about life... https://t.co/oFmSFIrGRy
