What’s done is done!

Whatever has happened in our past has no power over this present moment, unless we allow it to. Our past is a learning experience, not an everlasting burden we keep carrying around with us. 

Live life 1 day at a time

Live like you are born everyday. Live like there will be no tomorrow. And give your best today. Cause my friend- You might not wake up tomorrow.

Treat yourself like something you need to...

Treat yourself like something you need to keep building up and improving on. You are the greatest project you will ever work on. The project will have weaknesses, start finding a solution to them. Be still green and growing not overripe and rotting. And you’ll never complete the project. No one does and that’s okay. Grow daily!

Make friends as often as you can

Make friends as often as you can. From business to dating, a good network will help you level up. It’s going to be your only true wealth.

One way to ensure you are making genuine progress is...

One way to ensure you are making genuine progress is to have well outlined measurable goals. People tend to fear doing this because that means they are also setting up parameters to reveal their failures. In this way, they can wander while believing progress is being made. And yet being brave enough to fail forward is one important step towards making progress.

When building habits...

When building habits, choose consistency over the content. The best book is the one you can’t put down. The best exercise is the one you enjoy doing every day. The best health food is the one you find tasty. The best work is the work you’d do for free.

Pick one thing

Pick one thing. Cultivate a desire. Visualize it. Plan a sustainable path. Identify needs, triggers, & substitutes. Tell your friends. Track meticulously. Self-discipline is a bridge to a new self-image. Bake in the new self-image. It’s who you are, now.

Always explore

Hard work and perseverance aren’t related. There’s always something to get better at, there’s always an interesting topic. There’s always a problem to solve. The joy is in the process. Always explore.

Life simply happens to them

Some never participate in the event. Life simply happens to them. They maintain themselves more or less by dint of stubborn resistance and resist with rage or violence anything that might tear them away from their dejected illusions of security.

Pickiness is a luxury of...

Pickiness is a luxury of having options. Talent is an illusion of options. Just because you could do well in multiple areas doesn't mean you have those options available to you. This illusory 'could' make people think they have options. You don't. You can't be picky at the bottom.

If you're not inspired scrolling

If you're not inspired scrolling down your timeline, you're definitely following the wrong people. Fix that.

​The Paradox of Abundance

Two things are true. First, it’s never been easier to access high-quality information. Second, we’ve never been so inundated with informational junk.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Most times, not everyone on a...

Most times, not everyone on a team agrees with the course of action. Even when you have enough cognitive diversity in the room, people still keep their mouths shut because people in power tend to reward people who agree with them while punishing those who dare to speak up with a dissenting view.

The difference between good and great is...

The difference between good and great is often an extra round of revision. The person who looks things over a second time will appear smarter or more talented, but actually is just polishing things a bit more. Take the time to get it right. Revise it one extra time.

When my phone is right next to...

When my phone is right next to me while reading, I pick it up every 30 seconds and have the attention span of a pigeon. When it's ten feet away from me, I get obsessed with the book and basically forget about my phone.

When the friendship is...

When the friendship is true, absence makes the heart grow fonder. When friendship is fake, absence makes one's life better. In the long run, you need friendships that are built on mutual commitment rather than simple convenience.

It’s hard to break the worry habit if...

It’s hard to break the worry habit if you believe that your worrying has a positive purpose: Worrying helps you avoid bad things, prevents problems, prepares you for the worst. But once you realize that worrying is the problem, not the solution, you regain control of your mind.

If you think too much about a...

If you think too much about a problem it’s easy to over-complicate it and end up more confused than when you started. Go with what feels right for now. You can only make decisions from where you are now.

A critical quality for success is...

A critical quality for success is the ability to change your mind. A lot of ideas are bad until they're good. And a lot of ideas are good until they're bad. You only need to know the direction, not the destination. The direction is enough to make the next choice.

You don’t need to catch every break if...

You don’t need to catch every break if you’re willing to keep trying. Every winner has an archive of losses, but each attempt creates the chance for a victory. You need to be patient, but not passive. Active patience.

The unchanging element is change

The unchanging element is change— by mastering the first four elements, you can change the way you think and learn. You can always improve, grow, and extract more out of your education, yourself, and the way you live your life. Change is the universal constant that allows you to get the most out of living and learning.

Look back to see where ideas came from and...

Look back to see where ideas came from and then look ahead to discover where those ideas may lead. A new idea is a beginning, not an end. Ideas are rare— milk them. Following the consequences of small ideas can result in big payoffs.

Constantly create questions to...

Constantly create questions to clarify and extend your understanding. What’s the real question? Working on the wrong questions can waste a lifetime. Ideas are in the air — the right questions will bring them out and help you see connections that otherwise would have been invisible.

Fail to succeed

Fail to succeed. Intentionally get it wrong to inevitably get it even more right. Mistakes are great teachers — they highlight unforeseen opportunities and holes in your understanding. They also show you which way to turn next, and they ignite your imagination.

Don’t face complex issues head-on

Don’t face complex issues head-on; first, understand simple ideas deeply. Clear the clutter and expose what is really important. Be brutally honest about what you know and don’t know. Then see what’s missing, identify the gaps, and fill them in. Let go of bias, prejudice, and preconceived notions. There are degrees to understanding (it’s not just a yes-or-no proposition) and you can always heighten yours. Rock-solid understanding is the foundation for success.

What others will mainly remember is...

What others will mainly remember is our presence in their lives rather than the work we did.

If we don't change, we don't...

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean a giving up of familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, relationships that have lost their meaning.

As Dostoevsky put it, "Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most." The real fear should be of the opposite course.

People will surprise you

Be kind. You should do it simply to be decent, but do it even if you’re a ruthless mercenary because you have no idea where people will end up in 10 years. The balance of power is always shifting. People will surprise you.

Maintain the momentum

What you do on the bad days matters more than the good days. What you do when you don't feel like it — when you're not motivated, when everything seems hard — matters more to the ultimate outcome than what you do when you're motivated and it is easy. Maintain the momentum.

Love is just a...

Love is just a chemical thing that happens when you spend too much time with someone you do not despise. You will fall in love with 90% of women given enough time with them. You need to get the foundations right - it is the most significant decision.
