be patient, tough, and authentic

Good morning this grateful morning!

Wandering thoughts...

Wandering emotions...

Wandering~

...Meanwhile these wandering seconds continue to tick by.


 
I find myself seeking wisdom from those beyond my time.
 

Roger Martin:

You need to be uncomfortable and apprehensive:
 
True strategy is about placing bets and making hard choices.
 
The objective is not to eliminate risk but to increase the odds of success.


 

Ovid

Prefer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim.


 

Ovid, w/a minor addition :)

Prefer et obdura et authentica: dolor hic tibi proderit olim.


 

Translation:

Be patient and tough and authentic; someday this pain will be useful to you.


 

 
Such wisdom gives my wandering spirit something to lean into.
 

 
Hopefully some comfort to a buddy as well. :)
 

 
Have a grateful weekend.
