Welcome to the report card. Every day is a continuous test with no subject. What's your answer? What's the meaningful? Why care? You have to quiet the mind and understand that most of the things that you think about don't truly matter in the grand scheme of things. Much less they won't matter tomorrow, next week, than in this moment. Knowing that when we say one of the four agreements is never take anything personally, that means for the positive as well as the negative.
And to understand that words can affect you. And it's very humbling and makes the world a little bit more quiet when you understand that. And with that, let's start it. A song of the day is Stupid by YG. Just Read Up 3 is coming. The Just Read Up mixtape series was literally a time capsule for my college career. So shout out to YG. What are we today? Obviously the daily habits of Robert Green, but as well as Trick Baby by Iceberg Slim.
And it's just the beginning where they just kind of dropping you in the middle of a story and just understanding the confidence it takes to be a con artist and understanding that if you believe it, more likely somebody else will. What's up, Physically Actor today? Today is the 18th, July 2024 Thursday. At about 9pm Pacific Standard Time. I accomplished all the goals for the week. However, today wasn't really that physically active.
A little bit actually with the with Cameron and just going on a walk. Not too bad, but could be better. What did I get from the meditations? There is no reason to care for another's thoughts of you. This life is yours and yours only. And there is only one. What do I succeed at today? I accomplished all my goals and anything I thought of, I put the paper and did. And just being a man of my word, clearing my conscience on the things that I said I wanted to do. What made me smile today?
Being tired, having a day off, getting a haircut. I was still able to take my son and have him go to the park for at least 30 minutes. I think it was probably a close to an hour. However, I didn't have to, but I knew it was the right thing to do. And the joy that he got and also the energy that it took out of him making the day a little bit more easier, it was a win for all. However, in the moment, it was tough. And what kept me going was his smile and his energy and that's what made me smile.
What do I think of my day of raw? Interesting. In the sense that this was probably the longest meditation session I've had in recent history, about 20 minutes. And truly quiet in the mind and understanding that not much matters. And it's when everything seemingly is loud and non-ending and always going and in the grand scheme of things, it's really quiet. When you think about it. And your reason for going on is the only reason why you're going on because you don't have to.
And it's up to you to figure out what your purpose is on this world for because you're here. And it is a miracle. So, quieting. What grade do I get myself? I'm going with a B. I feel like it was a B performance today. I feel like I didn't do excellent, but it was more than average. And I can be proud of the person in the mirror. And I hope you can too. And if you know why you can't be, then be that tomorrow. And understand that it's a blessing.
It's truly lucky and fate that you have another day. And with that, let's begin.
