Happy Birthday Kobe. This notion of finding stillness and accepting the emotions as they come is something I try and live by everyday. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Kobe. I will never forget it ❤️

Progress isn’t always about getting better. Sometimes it’s about bouncing back.
Success is not only the peaks you reach—it’s the valleys you conquer. Every experience of enduring adversity and overcoming obstacles is a meaningful accomplishment.
Resilience is a form of growth.

Don’t let other people’s insecurities get in the way of your success. Some people just don’t want things badly enough to do the work necessary to get there so when you achieve beyond what they even thought was possible, it sparks the hate! There is enough food for everyone to eat

Something I taught 13 yo: There are people who are "bad" in the sense of breaking the rules, but who are actually really nice. And there are others who obey all the rules and yet are really nasty. Sometimes the nastiest not only obey the rules, but enforce them.

Human tendency to conform, especially when in large groups, is terrifying. Propaganda machines leverage this throughout human history.
The way out is to think freely, detached from the divisive narratives of the day that masquerade as universal truths.
This often feels lonely.

"To me, the real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely, who don’t even play the game, who rise above it. Those are the people who have such internal mental and self-control and self-awareness, they need nothing from anybody else."

5 Stoic lessons from Epictetus:
1. You become what you give your attention to
2. Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it
3. To improve, you have to be OK with looking foolish
4. You can’t learn what you think you already know
5. Stop waiting to demand the best for yourself
