Everything builds on prior efforts:

“The point of setting ambitious goals isn't to experience joy. It's to pursue personal growth and mastery — or to create something of value for others.” @AdamMGrant

63/
“The single best predictor of behavior is ease — more than price, or quality, or comfort, or desire, or satisfaction." @zoebchance

Even when something is not easy, some will try to navigate the path:

“Success is largely the failures you avoid.” @JamesClear

“We think of failure and success as opposites when in reality failure is part of success.” @lizandmollie

65/ @ChloeFlower #UP
“We don’t need more empathy in the world. We need more compassion. Empathy is FEELING the pain and suffering of others. COMPASSION is ACTING to RELIEVE the pain and suffering of others.” @AdamMGrant

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou quoteinvestigator.com/2014/04/06/the…

67/ 🎶 @iamezinma @lizzo
The career plan of "achieve success, then give back" misses many opportunities to GIVE ALONG THE WAY:

Offer feedback
Share knowledge
Make introductions
Recognize unsung heroes
Provide advice
Show compassion

We believe in the interconnectedness of all things.

Everything — and EVERYONE — is deeply intertwingled.

Every tweet is a message in a bottle to someone somewhere else. Please be kind. #KindnessMatters

“Building resilience isn’t about becoming immune to pain. It’s recognizing that we have strength to persevere in the face of pain. Capacity to feel intense emotions… enables us to hope and to love.” @AdamMGrant

70/ #HouseOfBach ✨
“Mastery comes from deliberate practice. Creativity comes from deliberate play… New ideas flourish in unstructured activities and serendipitous conversations.” @AdamMGrant

71/ 💃 🩰: @KylieSheaXO #ballerina

“Practicing the same skill back-to-back is less effective than mixing up different skills. Varying your practice focuses attention and accelerates learning.” @AdamMGrant

72/ 🩰💃: #CharlotteNebres @nycballet

”A key to resilience is your past self: Remembering that you've overcome adversity before.” @AdamMGrant

"You are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. Like a muscle, you can build it up." @sherylsandberg

“Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet just because there’s a picture with a quote next to it,” said Abraham Lincoln somewhere in the multiverse…

In this thread, we collect colloquialisms commonly misattributed on the Internet. Aphorisms often have their own lives… Image
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

MLK employed this resonant line in a 1958 article and 1964 speech.

American Transcendentalist Theodore Parker first formulated the metaphor about historical progress in an 1853 sermon: quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/15/arc… Image
“The truth is, everybody is going to hurt you. You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”

Truth is, even though the memorable sentiment resonates because it is replete with compassion and empathy and resilience and grit, Bob Marley never said it: houstonpress.com/news/the-truth… Image

“These Bubba the Love Sponge tapes should be distributed everywhere so every COMPASSIONATE person can hear just how Tucker Carlson REALLY thinks about women.” @JohnFugelsang @StephMillerShow

Re-upping @mmfa audio in light of Matt Gaetz’s TERRIBLE actions:
“Tucker Carlson says he has no recollection of what Matt Gaetz is talking about. Generally Gaetz appears to be saying she was 18 by the time he bought her airline tix and hotel rooms so technically the federal charges fail. Not a great look. Going to get messier.” @harrylitman 🎯
Reminder: Tucker Carlson is a millionaire paid by billionaires.

"The prior administration dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety… The entire system was gutted… It takes time to build out of the depths of cruelty that the administration before us established.” @SecMayorkas
“We don't take advice or counsel from former President* Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective. We are going to chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect.” @jrpsaki @PressSec
“In the last administration we had a morality problem: Children were pulled from the arms of their parents and kids were sent back on a treacherous journey. And that’s not the approach of this admininstration.” Jen Psaki

@rcbregman @ZeroDean @arthurbrooks Four fav proverbs:

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

A thing is bigger for being shared.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Light candles when you can.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases from being shared.” fakebuddhaquotes.com/thousands-of-c…

Trump’s DHS separated parents from their kids — and deported them. 545 parents STILL cannot be found.

THIS IS TORTURE:

“The kids would start crying and it wasn’t just tears, it was screams.”

@jacobsoboroff
BIDEN: “Children were ripped from parents’ arms and separated. And now they cannot find over 500 sets of those parents, and those kids are ALONE… It’s criminal!!”

TRUMP: “They are so well taken care of…”

“Donald Trump’s administration lost the parents of 545 children they abducted at the border and caged… Stephen Miller created the myth that these parents didn’t really lose their children.”

“The danger he poses is related to past dangerousness he has shown in terms of verbal aggression, boasting about assaults, paranoid reactions… This is a national security threat and the White House has a credibility crisis.” @pttrn_ntgrty #The25thFor45

“It cannot be that here and now in 2020 we allow the government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish on this earth. No, it cannot and it must not… WE WILL VOTE.” @JoeBiden in Gettysburg

“The FBI says white nationalism is a real problem, and the FBI wants to do something about it, but President* Trump doesn’t want to talk about that. He doesn’t keep the country safe.” @GenMhayden @RVAT2020
