Every one of us has unique talents. Building and developing those talents will help us find fulfilment and purpose.

Theories are all partially true. Just because one aspect is true, it doesn’t prove every claim to be true. You don’t have to trust everything to trust something.

Find truth and throw away the rest. Don’t let the dogma, pressure, or influence of others cause you to believe it all.

Every theory has holes. None are whole. Truth is truth no matter where you find it. Lies are lies no matter where they come from.

Your system is your safety net. Your system is your foundation. When the right systems are followed with the right actions, moments of genius are welcome but not required. This is why consistency works – continuous action at the right time for the right purpose always beats out one-time brilliance.

We see what we expect.

We experience what we expect to experience.

We choose our expectations.

The data shows that empathy is good, but without compassion is damaging to all involved.

Empathy is feelings, compassion is often considered “advanced actionable empathy” since it includes the desire to also help, to relieve the suffering and burden.

If you have the desire to help, then your entire approach changes and everyone eventually benefits.

The more we do, the more we become.

The more we help, the more value we create.

If you already know the answer, your questions will be insincere – and you will not grow.

If you are searching for truth, your humility will be felt – and you will learn.

Character is built. Character is not innate, it is not in-born. Character comes from our values and beliefs and how committed we are to manifesting them with our physical actions. With every situation we are in, we get the chance to build our character. We choose the material (truth or lies, kindness or selfishness, work or laziness, humility or pride) we build with.

When you care enough, you are enough.

When you care enough, they will be enough.

When you care enough, there is always enough.

Awareness helps you decide a course of action.

Action creates outcomes.

Analysis of the outcomnes helps you create better awareness for next time.

As long as you always make sure there is a next time, you are still in the game, you are still growing, still improving.
