It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it.
If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.
Big things start small, but not every small thing can become big.
You need to be on the right trajectory. Choose the right playing field and success comes more easily.
"What's the one action that moves the needle more than 100 other actions? What's the one choice that renders 1000 other choices irrelevant?
Most things are not worth optimizing. Master the big moves and move quickly and peacefully through the other stuff."

If you want to find a better path, you have to be willing to explore a different path.
That sounds simple, but how often do you try something different?
The power of consistency is insane. Doing what could be considered small or insignificant over a long length of time WILL BECOME abundant and overflowing. Be consistent, regardless of the circumstance.

"The responsibility of any creator is to do the work, not judge it.
Your job is to fall in love with the process, not grade the outcome."

"10-year dreams. 5-minute actions.
Where do I want to be in 10 years?
What can I do in the next 5 minutes to contribute to that outcome?"

An idea from Atomic Habits:
"When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don’t have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running."

There is no shame or guilt in a graceful no. The boundaries you put in place now for your time, relationships, and money will only help you in the long run.
"Without altering the facts of the situation I am facing and without ignoring the reality of what must be done, what is the most useful and empowering story I can tell myself about what is happening and what I need to do next?"
