The past couple of weeks have been pretty exhausting. I am still in the process of moving to the East Coast and it is taking far longer than what I would have hoped for. I am also delaying my move since I am getting my second COVID shot in 48 hours — very thankful for that.
Between everything that we need to get done today, may we all find a moment to practice gratitude, peace, and tranquility, as we settle into our duties.
Let’s build.
Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.
As you think, so shall you become.
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.
Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
Having no limitation as limitation.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
— Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts
