[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

“When you start paying attention to that voice [in your head] and realizing it’s not you, then all of a sudden the game starts changing.”

Just heard this and it clicked. When looking at #successful people don’t focus on what they did, focus on what #factors and #patterns surrounded them allowing them to be successful.

Well, just figured out the difference between #private and #unlisted.

“It’s like winning an Olympic gold medal,” she said. “It’s very surreal.”
