the secret is, it's actually really simple.
if you want to be a writer, write everyday.
if you want to be a runner, run everyday.
if you want to build a business, solve a problem, and see if someone will pay you for it, everyday.
most people overcomplicate things because it's easier to chalk it up as "impossible" than wake up everyday and do the boring daily activities that get you 1% closer to where you want to be.
A true master class in the human neuroscience of motivation, apathy, procrastination, and more. From a neurologist physician-scientist who truly understands the actionable takeaways.
One of my favorite conversations ever. On or off microphone.
Conoce al psicólogo número 1 del mundo:
Albert Bandura.
Dedicó su vida a investigar por qué unas personas actúan y otras se quedan bloqueadas haciendo lo mismo de siempre.
Aquí tienes sus 7 grandes lecciones para dejar de pelearte contigo mismo:
You already have everything you need, you're just refusing to use it.
– Stop waiting for a Rocky moment, real hard work looks like a dungeon, not a highlight reel
– Motivation fades with age; discipline is what remains
– Build your identity from the inside, no role models required
– The "pipe dream" becomes real only through relentless, unglamorous repetition
– You know the truth already, no seminar will give it to you

You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure.
A peak life advice by Elon Musk:
“Stop being patient and start asking yourself: How can I accomplish my 10 year plan in 6 months? You will probably fail, but you'll be far ahead of the person who simply accepted it would take 10 years.”
I’m in love with this sentence:
“Every pattern in your life repeats until you learn the lesson. The moment you choose differently, the loop ends and growth begins.”
repetition is the only language your brain understands. neuroplasticity doesn't care about your potential or your dreams, it only counts how many times you fired the same circuit today.
This paragraph by Kobe Bryant hits hard:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition. If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”
