The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.
Keys to happiness:
1. Exercise regularly
2. Cherish EVERY DAY
3. NEVER compare yourself to others
4. Don't live in the past
5. Compliment others
6. Don't attempt to be rational with irrational people
7. Be grateful for what you HAVE
8. Daily professional improvement
Make each decade rich with experiences and perhaps you can live a handful of lives before you are done."
- James Clear
One slight tweak..."Make each DAY rich with experiences!!!"
"There are two ways to live a longer life:
1) Biologically. Extend the timeline between your birth and your death.
2) Psychologically. Fit more lives into whatever time you are given.
The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize.
Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition.
It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.
We shouldn’t see our opinions as cherished possessions. We should treat them like everyday clothes.
Look at the views in your closet that were trendy once. Discard the ones that look silly to you now.
Wear the ideas that fit you today. Be ready to outgrow some of them tomorrow.
