You don’t have to stop wanting something before you decide to stop pursuing it.

Sometimes you still want the outcome. You’re just no longer willing to give up what getting there requires.

That deserves more thought than “never quit.”

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

Are you scheduled in your own calendar?

Meetings, deadlines and other people's priorities often get your attention first. Your health deserves more than just whatever time is left over.

Put exercise in the calendar before the week fills up. Then stop making it the first commitment you cancel.

@kameotr Wait - who's acting like a dick here?

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@RobertGreene I would just clarify that it's not merely displaying emotion that's a sign of weakness. It's important to experience your emotions and it's okay to show them. But certainly how you display them and staying in control is important.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@AaronThackuelj @AlexHormozi It's not about whether big goals are at odds with small goals. It's about time, focus,and attention. Eliminating the small things that don't matter to focus on the big things that do.

@Markmanson Anxiety is best discarded. It's a hard skill to learn, but one of the most freeing. It's worth the work.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@patrickbetdavid No one is coming to rescue you. It's all up to you. Just get started.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@RyanHoliday Something good usually comes out of every bad thing that happens to us. Sometimes you just have to search deeply for what it is.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@shaneparrish @tobi It amazes me how often incentives are misaligned with what's actually best for the company's sustainability.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@Markmanson Good way of putting it. Finding yourself is more about not trying to be what you think others want you to be and just being you.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

When we make a mistake, we want people to hear our side. But when someone else makes one, we can be quick to judge.

Give them the same chance to explain that you’d want for yourself.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@AlexHormozi Gotta be able to go after what you want without fear of looking silly sometimes

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

You’re right. Now what?

Instead of focusing on who's at fault, what are you going to do next?

@shaneparrish @tobi AI needs to learn to get to the point. It's not quantity over quality.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@Markmanson Those who can tolerate more uncertainty separate themsselves from those who can't

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@GregoryMcKeown Clarity changes everything. Say exactly what you want.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@garyvee That's the best position to be in. Knowing that if all you had is what you have today, you'd be okay, but still having the desire to keep learning and growing.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

When you learn about a problem late, it’s easy to ask, “Why didn’t you come to me?”

First ask yourself, “What have I taught them to expect from my reaction?”

You have to do more than tell people they can come to you. Show them.

Be the safe space.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@garyvee Being the bigger person often takes a ton of courage, discipline, and self-restraint. Three truly important values.

[Kevin Ferrell @kev_ferrell]

@GregoryMcKeown There is huge value in just getting to the point.
