One meaningful project.
One hour of focused work.
One day at a time, without waver.

That's the secret you're looking for.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Give me someone who can be responsible for an entire area--someone who can design, hire, and sort to achieve the goal--and I can be comfortable things will go well. These are the most important people to choose and manage well. #principleoftheday (1/3)

4 hours of focused work is better than 8 hours of distracted work.

My 10 commandments of The 4 Hour Workday:

[Carey Nieuwhof @cnieuwhof]

Your system is actually a key to your success. If you don't change your system, success is almost impossible to achieve.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

While there is nobody in the world who will share your point of view on everything, there are people who will share your most important values and the ways in which you choose to live them out. Make sure you end up with those people. #principleoftheday

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Everyone fails. Anyone you see succeeding is only succeeding at the things you're paying attention to--I guarantee they are also failing at lots of other things. The people I respect most are those who fail well. #principleoftheday (1/3)

Be sacrifical.
Be teachable.

Stop focusing on the process and start focusing on outcomes.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

How we define success is a source of happiness we control.

105 studies, 70k ppl globally: valuing extrinsic over intrinsic goals predicts lower well-being.

Seeking fame, money, or beauty is a bottomless pit. Pursuing growth, kindness, trust, and health is a path to flourishing.

[Take Action! @takeactionD]

Note to self:

—Goal without Deadline = Fantasy

—Goal + Deadline = Objective

—Goal + Deadline + Plan = Intention

—Goal + Deadline + Plan + Consistent Action = Success

—Personal Meaningful Goal + Deadline + Plan + Consistent Action = Fulfillment

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Are you running to justify yourself, or are you running because you are justified?

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

Whether it’s in your private life or your work life, it is best for you to work with others in such a way that each person is matched up with other complementary people to create the best mix of attributes for their tasks. #principleoftheday

@ossmac Will have to try this! We’ve been doing a nightly walk with the 5 year old after dinner and we’ve seen the benefits. Everyone enjoys it!

Favorite new idea to ponder from #GLS22: "Greatness is found in the extremes. To grow in impact, grow in extremes." More here: https://t.co/ZDt8KeDjF7 @craiggroeschel

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

People typically try to prove that they have the answer even when they don’t. Why do they behave in this unproductive way? It’s generally because they believe the senseless but common view that great people have all the answers and don’t have any weaknesses.
