I wish I had learned this starting out Hifdh

(Things are meant to get easier, not harder)

You're anxious because you're focused on
The whole building instead of the brick.

Stop comparing with the end goal.
↳ Can you see the next step?
↳ Focus on that.

@JianMarcoYoung @FitFounder What does a no processed food diet actually look like nowadays? It sounds nice, but doesn't seem realistic at all for anyone unless they're obsessed and have the time and money.

@FitFounder Water is the miracle elixir that restores your strength, energy and focus levels if you pump yourself up and believe that it works. Then it just works. And better than coffee with none of the side effects.

Remember when I told you that Grok was programmed 27 ways, and one of it was to amplify Islamophobia.

Here's a perfect example that it apologised for 👇🏾

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@LeilaHormozi The answer to that question is beyond therapeutic.

Another way to frame it: "How would I feel tomorrow if I do it today?"

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@SahilBloom The true test of intelligence is whether you achieve what you set out to achieve.

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

No amount of intensity will make up for a lack of consistency.

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@AlexHormozi True friends aren't just found, they are made. It's a high level of time, energy and emotional sacrifice to achieve.

1-3 solid friends that you can rely upon during hard times — you're set for life. The caveat being: it may take a lifetime to even build such friendships.

[Naval @naval]

A government is the “biggest gang,” with a local monopoly on violence.

It’s good at preventing and stopping things.

It’s bad at building and running things.

Its main job is law and order, and a government which fails at that, is a failed government.

“Atomic Habits”
(summary in 4k)

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@thedankoe Which 1 daily habit would impact your life the most positively for the rest of this year?

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@thedankoe What I hear I forget.
What I see I remember.
What I do I understand.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Be incredibly careful with what you allow to access your mind

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@Dearme2_ Learned that the hard way. Don't ever make that stupid mistake.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Pursuing usefulness will make you a lot happier than chasing happiness.

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@thedankoe I always keep telling myself:
Simple, not easy.
It's just a choice.

Have a friend who’s an expert in the science of learning. Once, we got to talking about math. He said the lowest hanging fruit is to send every kid back to the stage of math they’re not 100% fluent in.

For most kids, that’s something like 3rd or 4th grade. Then they should work their way up, step-by-step, and only graduate to the next level once they have mastery of the level before. And now with learning apps, they can speed-run the catch-up process.

The research is clear. It’s the social stigma of going back that holds kids back. Kids don’t want to be made-fun of, and no parent of an 8th grader wants to send their kids back to 3rd grade math, no matter how effective it may be.

We know how to fix the problem. We’re just afraid of the social repercussions. Many things work like this.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

It can be as simple as 4 habits.

One for mind. One for body. One for finances. One for relationships.

Choose a habit for each that gets 80% of the results with 20% of the effort.

Stick with them for a year and you'll be ahead of most people.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A lesson from my grandfather that I’ll never forget: You’ll achieve much more by being consistently reliable than by being occasionally extraordinary.

[Ibrahim Abdul @ibradul_97]

@AlexHormozi If you must impress somebody, let it be your ideal future self.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Learning is a meta skill.

The skill of all skills.

Because if you can learn faster, you can achieve success that much faster.

Learning, for most people, has become a form of mental masturbation, consuming information just so they feel like they're learning something.
