@david_perell Great thread. Accurate and to the point!

@Keshavatearth @gonzalo__nunez @david_perell Learn something new. Do something you’ve never done. Create new experiences either alone or with someone else.

Your writing doesn’t need to be revolutionary, it just needs to be original (yours).

@_alexbrogan I can see ‘Breath’ has been mentioned a few times already. Another to note is ‘Born to Run’ by Kyle McDougall.

Give yourself a break.

Without one, you're just asking for it.

Either you torture yourself to clarify your ideas or your readers will torture themselves trying to understand them.

The Paradox of Effort: You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are often just the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice.

Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

Many of us have spent years slotting fast food in our bodies, mistreating how we move and losing touch with what makes us humans.

Expecting that to fix itself all in a matter of weeks would be a miracle.

[Josh Chiodo @joshchiodo]

Pushing our limitations is essential if we want to get stronger and faster. But I've seen far too many people (me included) try to compress that growth into a short period.

You can’t lose 10kgs in 2 weeks. If you did, you’re doing more harm than good.

It all takes time.

[Josh Chiodo @joshchiodo]

Today there's a culture around just 'pushing through it'. Please don't do this.

Rest and recovery are important. Listen to the signals your body gives you.

Quantity ≠ Quality

How many sides does a circle have? What if we start with a hexagon, double the sides, and continue... when does it become a circle? There are infinite sides.

Overwhelming ourselves with the thought of infinity serves no purpose; concentrate on what’s possible, not endless.

“Good writing is always about things that are important to you, things that are scary to you, things that eat you up. But the writing is a way of not allowing those things to destroy you.” ​— John Edgar Wideman

@WarriorSgathach @ReverendKathy1 @philosophytweet I’d say emotions are important for sure, but not letting someone else dictate when you’re annoyed I believe is the point.

Why should I let someone else (or anything else) determine how I feel?

I can judge whether the way they are intending to make me feel to be accurate or not.

[Josh Chiodo @joshchiodo]

@david_perell This is a great way to phrase it. We so desperately want to talk about things that have ‘status’ to feel important and valued to those around us. It’s really just external validation. ‘Low-status’ projects I find to be some of the most rewarding.
