Writing about getting unstuck and building a life that feels right

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

Great things are achieved through compounding.

Compounding happens when you stay in the game.

You stay in the game when you’re aligned with your values.

@_callmeangie I do have a car, but I mostly walk. Movement, nature and fresh air is what makes us alive

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@SuiBuilds Haha, this is brilliant

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@theo_jil Thanks for the inspiration!

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@creatorschmidt Sounds simple, but actually doing it might take years.

But what other choice do we have?

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@ChrisH_Au And most importantly, they happen to everyone. No one has only good days.

I often somehow forget about it.

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@a_najmi I think work is an important part of our lives. Most of us don't want to quit working once and for all, we want the right thing to work on.

@MickDeBoer I just found your account, and the bio instantly resonated.

Glad you’re back :)

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@SahilBloom This actually works really well.

There are days to zoom out and look at your whole life, and days to zoom in and just take the next small step, forgetting about the big picture.

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@SuiBuilds Yes! If we can't enjoy the present and what we have now, it is very unlikely that we will enjoy the thing we so desperately want to get.

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

Every day is shaped by a few thoughts we keep returning to.

Don’t let your brain choose them at random.

Pick the ones that make you want to live and do things.

Five handpicked thoughts can be enough for a good day.

@noahreeveshq Congrats, Noah! That’s where it all starts

It's amazing how some phrases can capture the whole essence of human life:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Businesses come in so many shapes and sizes that it’s not really about being good or bad at business.

It’s about finding the kind that better fits your temperament and strengths.

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@UpliftFit Wow, this looks brutal!

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@RobertGreene And the next one is learning to unlearn.

Getting rid of beliefs and things that do not help can sometimes get us further than new things.

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

@mskoriwilson So true, and so hard at the same time. Thanks for the reminder.

[Gary Schek @garyschek]

There are 3 types of days:

Days when you crush it and everything feels easy.

Days when you don’t feel like doing much, but discipline gets you through.

And days when no matter how hard you try, your mind and body won’t go beyond 10% capacity.

Can you relate?

@billwolfe @dayora_ai @RahulRamkumar86 Thanks for the shoutout,Bill. Appreciate it, glad we connected

@ItsKieranDrew This would be more accurate if you added the word “always.”

If you always have to force yourself to do it, don’t.
