If people can't stop you, they can get you to stop yourself by convincing you that your preferences are a joke.
When you laugh off your potential just because others laugh at your priorities, you lose what makes you powerful & prosperous in your own way.

It's a good thing when students challenge or question the relevance of their curriculum.
If something is truly worth learning, we should welcome every opportunity to show them why.
Here's the video from today's livestream on the art of allowing time for growth and investing in your personal power.

Sometimes the truth hurts, but it also helps.
Developing a healthy mindset isn't about forcing yourself to feel positive.
It's about embracing the fact that truth is always on your side when you react and respond to it in a healthy way.
To be a great leader, you have to love people’s freedom more than you love being their guru.
I'd love to see both. I want to use "like" as a way of signaling "I think your post is funny, true, interesting, etc. But I don't ever plan on revisiting those posts.
Bookmarks would be cool for a "read later" or "collect this" function.
Self-discipline is an extension of self-ownership.
It's the natural expression of being personally invested in your own life.
Once you see the outcomes you create as YOUR responsibility, you will have the skin in the game that makes discipline possible.
Thats when life really begins to work for you.
When you can be unapologetically loyal to your own preferences, priorities, and principles, you are free.

I want to start a non-profit called "The Reverse Reagan Foundation."
It'll be a program that inspires people to leave politics in exchange for a life of creating art.
On this session of "TK's Two Cents" I give a special shout out to @24 and I discuss how to think twice about important things without overthinking it.
Our feelings are not here to be cast out or conquered.
They're here to be engaged and expressed with imagination and intelligence.
