"If you can't learn the basic skill of showing up, then you have little hope of mastering the finer details. Instead of trying to engineer a perfect habit from the start, do the easy thing on a more consistent basis. You have to standardize before you can optimize."

"In many cases, improvement is not about doing more things right, but about doing less things wrong.
Don't look for things to add. Look for things to eliminate."

The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin-The ability to do,the will to conquer,the determination to understand and know this great,wonderful,curious world.Don’t shrink from new experiences.Take the cold bath bravely.Enjoy what is and not pine for what is not.-W.E.B.
"When choosing a new habit many people seem to ask themselves, “What can I do on my best days?”
The trick is to ask, “What can I stick to even on my worst days?”
Start small. Master the art of showing up. Scale-up when you have the time, energy, and interest."

"It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.
Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one."

" If we are to cultivate the art of living, we should cultivate the art of extracting sweetness and comfort out of everything, as the bee goes from flower to flower in search of honey. "
"We spend a lot of time talking about what we have to do. You have to do 10 things at work. You have to exercise,you have to cook dinner for your family. Now, change one word in each sentence. You don’t “have”to. You “get” to. The right perspective is these are opportunities."
"Most people don’t want accurate information, they want validating information.
Growth requires you to be open to unlearning ideas that previously served you."

Thank you @Waymo for a great first experience. Today, I took my first driverless trip ever - it was flawlessly executed. Honestly, I felt safer than when riding with someone else at the wheel.

"The teacher learns more than the student.
The author learns more than the reader.
The speaker learns more than the attendee.
The way to learn is by doing."

"New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do.
And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome.
For this reason, your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results."

"People generally have more control over their actions than their feelings.
But we can influence our feelings by taking action.
Take one small step. Move the body first and the mind will follow."
