Random Thoughts – 52

1. I love eating at a restaurant so early it’s just you and the owners.

2. “There is a difference between passing judgment, and seeking justice.”

3. Ego is completely unattractive. Not success. Not accomplishment. Not confidence. Ego.

4. 5 Things I Learned Reading: The End of Reason, By: Ravi Zacharias (Amazon)

5. “You will be unappreciated. You will be sabotaged. You will experience surprising failures. Your expectations will not be met. You will lose. You will fail. How do you carry on then? How do you take pride in yourself and your work? John Wooden’s advice to his players says it: Change the definition of success. “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” “Ambition,” Marcus Aurelius reminded himself, “means tying your well-being to what other people say or do . . . Sanity means tying it to your own actions.””  

 -Ryan Holiday, Ego Is The Enemy (Amazon)
