Rebuilding my routine and habits from scratch, in real time, while documenting the process.

The more you try and fail. The less you care about the fail and the more you care about the try.

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

The most common reasons for failing, in order.

1) Never starting.
2) Quitting too soon.
3) Not doing enough volume.
4) Not doing it consistently enough.
5) Doing too many different things.
6) Not shooting big enough. — @AlexHormozi

Sometimes life genuinely excites me for a moment. The pieces seem to click and my hope rises. But I tend to rise to high and like Icarus the fall back down is terrible.

[Leila Hormozi @LeilaHormozi]

Leaders are followed because they create certainty.

Decisiveness builds momentum, while indecision breeds doubt. People want to be led by somebody who acts, not somebody who asks for permission

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

Life often presents itself like a river. At times I am flowing down, making slight adjustments, and enjoying the ride. Then others I am rowing against the current, fighting with all I have to not let it take me where it wants, unsure how much longer I can keep up the struggle.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

I'm finding that showing up is not so scary once you release any expectation of outcome.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

I got hate online today. It's funny how much a random persons negative comment can shake you when you're not used to it. I'll take it, everything is an opportunity for growth.

Here’s a good decision-making filter for the people in your life. If somebody makes it harder to behave like the person you respect being, they are too costly to have in your life.

Something to think about.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

I've been taking action that scares me. Doing things that embarrass me. It's scary, it's hard, but I've decided that I want to live my life going after what I want and no longer be limited by others or my imagination of others.

the audacity to believe in yourself delusionally with no physical evidence is literally the entire cheat code

Stop being scared - it’s in your head … no one cares if you miss

I read about that lonely chapter. I read about how everything gets better after the lonely chapter. Today I need that to be true. Please let that be true.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

Today I'm choosing to follow Charlie and admit that "I'm on a winning streak". Because life is just more colourful with delusional optimism.

@FeelipeFelten @LukeDadev How long did it take your account to recover? Contemplating starting a new one.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

I think I nuked my Instagram account:

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

There is a unique personal cringe in hitting 'post' and knowing the view count will sit at zero for days. I'm learning that its about creating for the love of creation, and not for the expected recognition.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

It hit me hard today that the difference in results between trying and failing and never trying at all is none. Not trying is literally the same as failure. You fail by not trying.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

How would you define these words?

Success
Achieving an outcome you worked hard for without surety.

Happiness
A chronic mostly positive emotional state.

Investing
Providing something difficult today in order to hopefully receive the benefits in the future.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Some words are so overused as to have become meaningless.

If you find yourself using nebulous terms like “success,” “happiness,” or “investing,” it pays to explicitly define them or stop using them.

Answering “What would it look like if I had ___ ?” helps clarify things.

Life favors the specific ask and punishes the vague wish.

[Kalen Michael @kalenmichael]

Your inner critic is a liar. 🧠 That voice telling you you're not good enough? It's time to stop listening. Negative self-talk only holds you back.

Don’t let it control your life. Start questioning it, shift your mindset, and take charge of your thoughts. 💪 #MindsetShift
