"You don't need to solve every problem right now, only those that stand in your way."

Intimacy isn't just physical. To crave a person's energy and presence instead of just their body is the purest form of intimacy.

Someone asked me,
“What changed you the most?”

I replied,
“people, promises,
and the silence after them.”

Because sometimes,
the ending hurts less
than remembering how real it felt.

Compete against yourself.

When you look outside — your rivals, your industry, your luck — there is always something to blame.

When you look inside — your process, your effort, your rate of learning — there is always something to improve.

Average looks out. Elite looks in.

Every failure teaches something — strength, wisdom, kindness, and courage. Just keep moving.

Ingvar Kamprad, entrepreneur and founder of IKEA, on making mistakes:

"Only while sleeping one makes no mistakes. Making mistakes is the privilege of the active — of those who can correct their mistakes and put them right."

"When you lose a game, the score doesn't transfer to the next contest but your habits certainly will.

Circumstances are temporary. Sometimes you're winning, sometimes you're losing. Hot, cold. Lucky, unlucky. But your habits travel with you. This is why you want to execute the same way whether the score is 10-0 or 0-10. Not because the score doesn't matter, but because the score isn't what you're actually building.

It's not about winning or losing any given round. It's about doing things the right way. If you have a chance to practice your craft, you want to do it as well as you can (even if you end up losing that day). Your previous reps can save you or betray you. The habits always translate to the next round."

If you want to live at full power ….
1. Take the nail out of your head.
2. Go towards your energy.
3. Go all in now.

Follow your energy ….
Energy is the language of your soul.

Most people are not overwhelmed by work.

They are overwhelmed by poor decisions.

Too many yeses.
Too little clarity.
Too much noise.
Too few priorities.

The problem is rarely volume.

It’s judgment.

@realAtlasPress Doing one thing well is hard.
That’s why most people stay busy instead.

[Bala @balam20]

@Markmanson Most people avoid conflict and end up avoiding their own needs.

[Bala @balam20]

@blakeaburge Most people try to impress in the first 10 seconds.
The best ones make the other person feel important.
