Hesitation is decay

Do what you’re avoiding: Pick the one thing you’ve been putting off and attack it. Training. Cold shower. Hard conversation. Deep work. Hesitation is decay. Action is armor.

Reinvention starts with release

The reason most people never change is that they’re too attached to who they’ve always been. Change requires death: The death of old stories, old habits, old comforts, old beliefs. Reinvention starts with release.

Make mistakes cheap, not rare

People think good decision-making is about being right all the time. It's not. It's about lowering the cost of being wrong and changing your mind. When the cost of mistakes is high, we're paralyzed with fear. When the cost of errors is low, we can move fast and adapt. Make mistakes cheap, not rare.

Whatever you’re feeling, it will eventually pass

Whatever you’re feeling, it will eventually pass. You won’t feel sad forever. At some point, you will feel happy again. You won’t feel anxious forever. In time, you will feel calm again. You don’t have to fight your feelings or feel guilty for having them. You just have to accept them and be good to yourself while you ride this out.

It’s okay to let go

It’s okay to let go of those who couldn’t love you. Those who didn’t know how to. Those who failed to even try. It’s OK to outgrow them, because that means you filled the empty space in you with self-love instead. You’re outgrowing them because you’re growing into you. And that’s more than okay, that’s something to celebrate.

As if it were the last time

Life is a journey, not a competition! One day, you are going to hug your last hug, kiss your last kiss, and hear someone’s voice for the last time, but you never know when the last time will be. Live every day as if it were the last time you will be with the person you love.

Be the reason someone feels welcome

Be the reason someone feels welcome, seen, heard, valued, loved, and supported. Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won’t be around anymore.
