On intelligent communication, self-mastery, and immersing yourself
May 9 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Good communication is an essential ingredient of championship performance.
Are you accustomed to telling yourself, “I can handle this, this is just another obstacle to be overcome, no sweat, no big deal, I’ll take care of it”?
You have to practice communicating intelligently with yourself, and with others, if you want to be good at it.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself; you will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself; the height of your success is gauged by your self-mastery, the depth of your failure by your self-abandonment. Those who cannot establish dominion over themselves will have no dominion over others.”
― Steven Bartlett
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“I urge you to find a way to immerse yourself fully in the life that you’ve been given. To stop running from whatever you’re trying to escape, and instead to stop, and turn, and face whatever it is. Then I dare you to walk toward it. In this way, the world may reveal itself to you as something magical and awe-inspiring that does not require escape. Instead, the world may become something worth paying attention to.”
– Anna Lembke
