Question to ponder:

Which activities are the best expression of you? Can you spend five minutes doing one of them today?

Here’s just one gem: “It turns out that when I graduated from high school, I had already used up 93% of my in-person parent time. I’m now enjoying the last 5% of that time. We’re in the tail end.”

1) Living in the same place as the people you love matters I probably have 10X the time left with the people who live in my city as I do with the people who live somewhere else.

2) Priorities matter.Your remaining face time with any person depends largely on where that person falls on your list of life priorities. Make sure this list is set by you—not by unconscious inertia.

3) Quality time matters. If you’re in your last 10% of time with someone you love, keep that fact in the front of your mind when you’re with them and treat that time as what it actually is: precious.

“Your worst day is a chance to show your best qualities, to stand out, and to learn an enormous amount about yourself. Very few people plan or prepare for what they’ll do and how they’ll act during those times. Those who do might well end up turning their worst day into their best.”

"The people who rise in life are not those who are the smartest, but they who are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than when they woke up."

every time you say “this is new for me” instead of “i’m bad at this,” you allow your brain space to learn instead of shut down. that’s neuroplasticity in real time.

Some people never start.
Most people never finish.
The best people never stop.

Life is just saying yes (exploration) until you say no (focus), over and over again.

Important to recognize which phase you're in.

“The hardest thing to teach a student—and the hardest thing to believe consistently—is that there is nothing ‘out there’ to go and get. There is no part, no career, no opportunity for which you should be searching and scrounging and coveting. All of the preparation is within, and you keep yourself mentally and physically fit; you remain generous with yourself and others; you stay deeply in study about your craft. Whatever is yours will then arrive.”​

What does it feel like when you say “later”? 🕖

What does it sound like when you put something off?

All of us have a catalog of voices in our head. We’ve got the one for feeling behind, the one for not feeling good enough, the one we use when we’re trying to avoid a sore spot.

There are good reasons to decide to wait until later.

Waiting for later keeps our options open.

Waiting for later helps us avoid the short-term hustle.

Waiting for later feels safer.

Too often, waiting for later also keeps us from leaping, from leading and from making a difference. It keeps us from moving on, moving forward.

The feeling of “later” doesn’t go away. it actually gets harder and harder to leap as the time goes by.

It’s easy to turn waiting for later into a habit. It’s a great way to hide from the work we truly care about, especially if it’s uncomfortable.

Even the most ignorant, innocent child will eventually grow up as they learn what true pain is. It affects what they say, what they think… and they become real people.

Information compounds only when attached to action.

Reading is like eating; acting is like digesting.

You can die of “intellectual constipation” — stuffed with ideas, no movement.
