The burden you're carrying today will be lighter tomorrow.
The wound you incurred last week won't hurt as bad next week.
The shattering setback from last year will be a lesson learned next year.
Get through today and let tomorrow do its job.
There are many things in life you try hard not to remember.
But there are others you can't afford to forget.
Here are 11 of the most powerful:
The burden you're carrying today will be lighter tomorrow.
The wound you incurred last week won't hurt as bad next week.
The shattering setback from last year will be a lesson learned next year.
Get through today and let tomorrow do its job.
Hope is risky.
It feels safer to live without it.
If you don't hope, you can't hurt.
But hope shapes a vision of a better future.
It gives you the ability to endure and keep going.
Don't surrender to the safety of despair.
The idea of a life free of difficulty sounds ideal.
Of course you're drawn to it.
But it's in the struggle that you are forged and formed.
Challenge, discomfort, adversity - these are what your soul needs for growth.
Don't escape them. Embrace them.
Under Augustus Caesar, the Romans adopted a motto:
Labor Omnia Vincit ⏤
"Work conquers all."
When in doubt,
Put your head down and get to work.
Forgiving someone costs you.
You surrender your right to be wounded,
And that feels so unfair in the moment.
But, yesterday is gone for good.
Holding onto past wrongs,
Binds you to things you can never change.
Forgive. Even if it's for selfish reasons.
Deep happiness can be found,
If you look in the right place.
We're lured by empty promises ⏤
Buy this. Achieve that. Change them.
But happiness exists inside you, not outside.
Don't waste energy trying to arrange your world.
Spend it on being happy.
I remind myself of one thing regularly:
The last thing the world needs from me is my anger.
All of its forms - outrage, indignation, impatience, frustration -
Damage everything they touch.
Most importantly, they damage you.
You have a unique strength to offer.
The world around you needs your:
Creativity, compassion, wisdom, empathy, work ethic, leadership, insight, determination, laughter, perspective, listening, objectivity...
Step up and offer your strength.
The time is now.
My heart was broken when I was 14.
I knew that I would *never* love again.
The feelings were very real.
And temporary.
Feelings are important and you should listen to them.
But they're also fickle.
Use caution when trusting them.
Most days are a grind.
Work is monotonous. Relationships get stale. Your workout isn't working.
But some days, there's magic.
You're strong, you see progress, you break through.
You don't get one without the other.
Show up.
Careers fade.
Power fades.
Esteem fades.
Beauty fades.
Strength fades.
Money fades.
Build your life around that which does not fade.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
