John J Ray is my spirit animal.

John Wooden had a huge influence on my life in my early 20s. His lectures at UCLA prior to his death really laid out the foundation and framework for my life now. Here are the building blocks of Wooden’s Pyramid of Success:

Industriousness

There is no substitute for work. Worthwhile results come from hard work and careful planning.

Loyalty

To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect.

Alertness

Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.

Initiative

Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it.

Enthusiasm

Brushes off upon those with whom you come in contact. You must truly enjoy what you are doing.

Self-Control

Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgment and common sense are essential.

Friendship

Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage, it must not be taken for granted but requires joint effort.

Cooperation

With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way.

Intentness

Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resisting all temptations and being determined and persistent.

Confidence

Respect without fear. May come from being prepared and keeping all things in proper perspective.

Skill

A knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals. Be prepared and cover every little detail.

Team-Spirit

A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all.

Poise

Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation. Never fighting yourself.

Condition

Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated.

Competitive Greatness

Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge.

People don’t understand or maybe better yet don’t care how their actions or lack of impact everything. There is good and bad consequences to everything.

Confidence is quiet. Insecurities are loud.

Halfway through this. So far seems like a propaganda piece. 🤷🏼‍♀️ nostr:note1h6phuljkguv26s90g8z83nk7ukcn9685p5vxt6z2j4gm7fmhr0yqvz9qaw

Refined tallow in process. Honestly I can’t believe it — it worked! A few more cleansing rounds and I can get to work on lotion sticks.

I worked for Ron Popeil in 2007. On my first day of work he gifted me a bunch of his product including his kneed set. To this day I use his steak knifes. Steak — it’s what’s for lunch today. #nostr #food
