"The world is big, but industries are small.

After a few years, everyone comes to know the quality of your work.

Reputation matters."

"When accessing all information is common, paying attention to important information is rare."

A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind.

The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.

Next play mentality.

"If you keep showing up, you'll almost certainly break through — but probably not in the way you expected or intended. You need enough persistence to keep working and enough flexibility to enjoy success when it comes in a different form than you imagined."

"Savor the little victories as much as you criticize the little mistakes."

"At any moment, you are one good choice away from a meaningfully better life."

Your habits are often a byproduct of convenience. Humans are wired to seek the path of least resistance, which means the most convenient option is often the one that wins. Make good choices more convenient and bad choices less so. Behavior will improve naturally.

"Habits need to be revised from time to time. Which habits have become more important and you need to double down on next year? Which habits are no longer serving you and need to be replaced next year?"

“Karma encourages you to reflect on the choice, the reason you made it, and what you should do differently next time.”

“Often, when we believe that we have bad luck in relationships, the real problem is that we keep ignoring the data and refusing the karmic lesson. In other words—if you don’t learn anything, you repeat the same mistake.” - Jay Shetty #8rulesoflove

"Your biological age is the number of days you've lived.

Your psychological age is the number of thoughts you've entertained.

Your sociological age is the number of contributions you've made."

"The common narrative is that kids learn faster than adults, but if you watch any toddler they spend a large portion of the day attempting things that are on the edge of their ability.

How much time have you spent on the edge of your ability today?"

-@JamesClear

"You draw out of the world what you put into it.

Want to attract reliable people? Be reliable.
Want to attract trustworthy people? Be trustworthy.
Want to attract welcoming people? Be welcoming.
Want to attract exceptional people? Be exceptional."

"We undervalue health if we have not recently experienced illness.

We undervalue wealth if we have not recently experienced poverty.

We undervalue kindness if we have not recently experienced cruelty.

What might you be undervaluing right now?"
