1.
God gave you the power to bend a reality, Use it.
You have limited time and energy on this planet to make a dent in the universe.
“If you’re faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible.” - Bob Hoover
Deep,
Any real-life example to implement this in life or business?
No matter how impossible or hopeless your situation, you keep thinking, and fighting until you either get out of it, or you don’t.
Hoover was a legend, got shot down in WW2, was a POW, escaped the camp, stole a German fighter plane, and flew it back to friendly territory.
Great quote… never had a real crash landing, but I’ve simulated crash landings until the last possible minute… fun game to play with yourself if you have a solid and safe practice areas to use…
That quote applies to so many things in life haha
2.
Eliminating non-required, non-essential things from life is the best and easiest way to live a cool and calm life.
Stay away from:
1. Social media scrolling
2. Shopping for bragging
3. Achieving for flexing
3. The Sunrise Ruby by Rumi
In the early morning hour,
just before dawn, lover and beloved wake
and take a drink of water.
She asks, “Do you love me or yourself more?
Really, tell the absolute truth.”
He says, “There’s nothing left of me.
I’m like a ruby held up to the sunrise.
Is it still a stone, or a world
made of redness? It has no resistance
to sunlight.”
This how Hallaj said, I am God,
and told the truth!
The ruby and the sunrise are one.
Be courageous and discipline yourself.
Completely become hearing and ear,
and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.
Work. Keep digging your well.
Don’t think about getting off from work.
Water is there somewhere.
Submit to a daily practice.
Your loyalty to that
is a ring on the door.
Keep knocking, and the joy inside
will eventually open a window
and look out to see who’s there.
4.
You are the books you read, the movies you watch, the music you listen to, the people you spend time with, the conversations you engage in.
Choose wisely what you feed your heart and mind.

5. If you leave time for randomness then you are stealing from greatness...
Do your duty.
3 Great lines from Rumi.
1. Anyone who genuinely and consistently with both hands looks for something will find it. – Rumi
2. As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. – Rumi
3. Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place. – Rumi
Effectively...
I guess that isn't very glamorous, but it's something that has fallen out of favor and I find "this one neat trick" leads to increased contentment.
6.
All your anxiety is because of your desire for harmony. Seek disharmony, then you will gain peace. – Rumi
