Takeaways from my mentor 

I meet with my mentor as and when he’s available. He manages my family’s money and he’s very good at what he does - his firm manages about $5 billion, and I have great conversations with him. 

I don’t want to talk too much about him, but he came from a lower middle class background and today is wealthy beyond comprehension. He could buy a plane or two in the middle of the night if he wanted. 

Today we focused a lot of personal growth in my career. 

He gave me two books - The Inheritors by Sonu Bhasin and Fortune’s Children by Arthur Vanderbilt.

 

Here are some brief takeaways: 

Work backwards from the outcome you want. 

Define the outcome of where you want to be and plan it backwards to your current position. 

2. Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate. 

Life is all about elimination. Don’t focus  on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. Eliminate all the things you know you’re not good at, you have no interest in and that make you depressed. 

3. Intellectual honesty. 

Be honest with yourself about things you are good at and are not.  The easiest person to fool is yourself. 

4. Read one business biography a week. 

Everything you’re going in life, there’s a 99% chance someone else has gone through it and come out of it victorious. He also mentioned this article.

5. Outline 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses.

 

6. (In business/ corporate careers) You’re either primarily an investor (you’d rather fund companies and start ups than start them), an operator (you’d rather build something hands on), or a manager (you’d rather periodically manage something hands off. Like for instance you could have your own franchise bakery chain where you don’t need to exercise minute control over every franchise but you still ensure that there’s some managing done from your part). 

7. Do not have extreme ideologies at this age. 

Not when it comes to religion, politics, etc. 

8. Emotions, money and your time are something you need to be ruthless about. Absolutely ruthless. 

Be careful about the friends you have and the influence they have on you.

Just a few takeaways from Matthew 6

Let all that you do be done single-heartedly and as unto God- not for the praise of men.

God sees it all, even the seemingly small and insignificant things that you do. So be encouraged to keep doing good and hold onto your integrity.

When you pray, understand and recognize who it is that you're speaking to. God, the Most High who is seated above all; God, the Creator of heaven and earth; God, whose breath is in our lungs.

"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matt. 6:14-15). The scripture speaks for itself. Forgiveness is not an option in the kingdom of God.

Whatever thing(s) occupy the space of your heart the most is your treasure and, ultimately, your idol. Let it be God who sits on the throne of your heart.

We can learn a lot about God's provision through the observation of nature. If He provides barns for the fowls, how much more will He provide lodging for us? Even the fields are clothed with lilies. How much more will He clothe us?

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else will fall into place. This looks like seeking His face and not His hand.

I haven't painted traditionally in almost a decade, so everything feels very new to me again. This is also my first time using a water brush, and it's somewhat okay to use. I tried quickly painting these three baked goods that I found on Pinterest to test out the colors, but they didn't turn out too well, lol.

One thing that came to mind while working on these pieces is that painting traditionally, especially with watercolors, requires the utmost patience. I've become so used to painting digitally that I've gradually developed less and less patience in art, and I tend to rush things, which I now regret. I believe some other artists feel the same way too. I think this also applies to other hobbies/skills. It just feels like everything is always rushed these days. Maybe starting from here, I will relearn that patience and apply it to digital art as well. I need to stop speedrunning art as if I'm in a competition or something. Making art quickly can help with completing comms on time, but I see better results when I take my time. Listening to good music that you want to evoke through your work in the process definitely helps too. Have fun and take care ~

The VP Debate: "A Damning Non-Answer" Understanding Who Won the Debate and Why

Vance and Trump are extremely unqualified and disqualify themselves every time they lie, which is often. The debate just highlighted their anti-democracy disqualification.

SUMMARY: The post provides an analysis of the recent vice presidential debate between JD Vance & Tim Walz. It covers my immediate impressions taken from notes while watching the debate, including the initial spin that the parties tried to put on the debate. The real important potion, though, is reminding readers of the horrific nature of Trump’s term in office by linking to various posts about…

I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience

Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt
