Not a shocker. Friend of mine back in day told me once when I was debating whether to go for a jog that day “you never feel worse after a workout” That always stuck w me. It’s that simple.

This little story from Sam Harris is one I'm constantly coming back to.

If you cringe at your former self, that’s good—it means you’ve grown. Never stop cringing.

Your story wouldn't be interesting without the obstacles.

"can you tell us about a time you faced significant odds and how you overcame them?"

[andrew chen @andrewchen]

this is one of the most important graphs that I saw in 2023 that has led to behavior change. This is in Peter Attia's book Outlive

tldr:
if you want to be able to climb stairs when you are 75, you need to be in the top 95th percentile of cardiovascular fitness. With this, you won't be able to run nor briskly climb stairs

But if you are average/low, you may not even be able to do any of that. And it seems unlikely you'll be avg/low now (I'm in my early 40s) and then somehow go from 50th percentile to 95th. So basically it's better to get started

Thus, after reading his book, I reluctantly started running again even though I hate it. And am also doing some peloton / cycling outdoors when time/weather allows

The information you consume each day is the soil from which your future thoughts are grown.

[Ian Cassel @iancassel]

If you don’t cringe when you look back 10 years ago at what you wrote, what you thought, how you invested, then you aren’t growing. Don’t beat yourself up judging yesterday’s mistakes with today’s wisdom. You grow, you get pruned back (mistakes), and regrow stronger.

[Morgan Housel @morganhousel]

A lot of financial debates are just people with different time horizons talking over each other.

[Shaan Puri @ShaanVP]

when someone accuses you of not sending an email & then you forward them the email to prove them wrong -- that's the corporate version of winning an old western duel

[Brent Beshore @BrentBeshore]

The simplest way to dramatically improve your life is to make great friends who love you and you can trust, ask for advice, then follow their advice.

My favorite newsletter to date from @kylascan with writing that reminds me of @morganhousel - The Economic Perception Model, https://t.co/Ki1HzjpSP1

[MichaelKitces @MichaelKitces]

So as it turns out, the belief that there is a "moral decline" amongst young people today has existed... as long as we've been asking adults what they think of young people today... when it hasn't actually changed much?

[Dickie Bush @dickiebush]

Life gets a lot better when you only compare yourself to:

1. The person you were 2 years ago
2. The person you could be in 2 years

Keeps you focused on your own game.

Makes it easy to root for everyone else’s success as well.

You probably don’t want to start off with an opening line that bores your reader at best.

Five minutes of quiet time after a draining meeting can go a long way. https://t.co/6Le5YWebOb
