Are you working on the right level? (Sometimes we are too big picture. Sometimes we are lost in the details.)

Did you read Atomic Habits and either build a good habit or break a bad one?

If so, what did you do?

I’d love to hear!

The ultimate form of preparation is not planning for a specific scenario, but a mindset that can handle uncertainty.

If you only followed one person on Twitter there’s a strong case to be made it should be James Clear I look forward to his name in my thread every day.

On the ground, a rock is just a rock. But when moving at high speed through the atmosphere, a rock becomes a meteor—alive with fire and burning bright.

People are not so different. Without activity, we are lifeless and dull. When moving fast and taking action, we come alive.

Life is a series of tradeoffs, and greater results usually require greater tradeoffs.

The question is, “What are you willing to give up in order to be great at this?

What is a small pleasure that brings you great joy? Can you enjoy it today?

A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.

Next play mentality.

Mental toughness is often portrayed as determination and persistence, but it can also be flexibility and adaptability.

If you're always right, you're not learning.

If you're never failing, you're not reaching.

The objective is to be right. The objective is to succeed.

But if you're always winning, you're undershooting your potential.

Do not confuse things that are hard with things that are valuable.

Make sure that mountain is worth climbing.
