Nothing is easier than saying words. Nothing is harder than living them, day after day

The quickest way to gauge the quality of your relationships is to make a positive change.
The people who are with you for the right reasons will behave the same but the people with you for the wrong reasons will quickly make themselves known.

What does it actually mean to be aggressive?

It means you show up every time you are meant to show up even if you’re tired.

It means you produce quality work. Quality work that matters.

It means you don’t just produce quality work once but multiple times.

It means you’re consistent with producing quality work multiple times. So you consistently produce quality work.

It means you also take a break when you need to, to avoid burnout and to always get back to work once you’re refreshed.

It means doing it and keeping at it. You don’t give up. You don’t abandon your newsletter after four issues or 40 issues, that’s not how you get your desired subscriber base.

This is the truth: there are many things we cannot change or even influence.
It sucks to be powerless.
But then, there are things we can change and influence.
They may seem inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but they are not.
They are important too and most importantly,
they matter because you can actually do something about them aside from the regular lament and concern.
You can take action that matters. And because of this possibility to effect change, to do big things in small ways, those little concerns matter.

Throwing everyone together, online, 24/7, and giving them information and access to each other directly, unfiltered, was bound to have a jarring impact. It’s become clear that no one – not politicians, not the smartest person you know – has all The Answers, and we’re learning how to live in a world where that’s evident.

"When you tolerate an error, you rob yourself of learning.

When you ruminate on an error, you rob yourself of happiness.

Notice it, improve it, and move on from it."

I was reviewing some old notes to myself recently and I found this one:

"You just need to have the courage to eliminate everything that doesn't directly feed what you really want."

"Nobody accomplishes anything significant alone.

But nobody accomplishes anything significant by accident either. Just because you need others doesn't mean you can wait for others to make it happen.

You have to act as if you are a force of nature and try to bend the universe in your desired direction—while remaining pleasant and open to help along the way."

"If you know where you want to go in life, people tend to help or get out of the way.

Both of those are useful."

"What starts as an excuse can easily become a habit.

Don't let a bad day become a lifestyle."
