A view of life and commercial real estate from Newark and Licking County, Ohio
.............................with Farnum Street:
The most powerful productivity tool ever invented is simply the word "no."
The single most effective habit is the willingness to change your own mind.
If you want to understand someone, figure out the narrative they
tell themselves about themself.
If you want to change your behavior, change your narrative. If
you want to change someone else’s behavior, offer them a more compelling
narrative they can tell themselves.
...............David Kanigan's Thrive, well, please do.
When will we finally understand that we are all drops of the same ocean, hurting together, healing together, hoping together? Don’t just pray for hands to heal the hurting. Pray with hands that are healing the hurting. Don’t just pray for arms to help the helpless. Pray with arms that are helping the helpless. Don’t just pray for feet to respond to need. Pray on feet that are responding to need. Don’t just pray for someone to do something. Be someone who does something.
-David Kanigan, channeling L.R. Knost
Let all your efforts be directed to something, let it keep that end in view. It’s not activity that disturbs people, but false conceptions of things that drive them mad.
-Seneca, “On Tranquility of Mind,” 12.5
..........................of behaving ethically.
Some people dine out on a single good deed for years.
