"Each of us has one WHY. It's not a statement about who aspire to be; it expresses who we are when we are at our natural best."

"Find Your Why"

All the girls in the world were divided into two classes. One class included all the girls in the world except her, and they had all the usual human feelings and were very ordinary girls; while the other class -herself alone- had no weaknesses and was superior to all humanity.

- Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.

Be someone you respect.

Not someone everyone likes. Not someone who never fails.

Someone who does what they said they would do. Someone who tells the truth when lying would be easier. Someone who shows up even when it costs them something.

Everything else. The success, the recognition, the results. It all follows from that one thing.

Respect yourself first. The rest comes after.

Most people quit because they forget that you have to be bad at something before you can be good at it. It's so obvious. You suck. Of course you're not going to win in 2 weeks. But if you can learn to enjoy extended periods of failure, you will make it very, very far in life.

The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast.

Bad conversation? Move on?

Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow.

Missed workout? Hit it the next day.

Poor decision? Learn and adjust.

You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.

What's the end goal?

‘Start by doing what’s necessary, then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.’

— Francis of Assisi

Be curious about the world in which you live. Look things up. Chase down every reference. Go deeper than anybody else – that’s how you will go ahead.

The Reverend Allan Boesak of South Africa, who fought against apartheid, once said that when we go before God at the end of our lives to be judged,

God will ask, ‘Where are your wounds?’

Too many of us will say, ‘We have no wounds.’

Then God will ask, ‘Was nothing worth fighting for?’

"You don't need to solve every problem right now, only those that stand in your way."

— James Clear

"Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. No sense in beating yourself up about it.

Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now.

Be flexible with your future self. There are many paths to success. You don't need life to be a certain way to live well."

— James Clear
