The courage to try, the humility to learn, the will to never give up.

[ノイリ @noiri_testo]

「将来こうなりたい」と考える時間より、毎日何を繰り返すかを決める時間の方が大事だ。人は目標に近づくのではなく、反復した行動に近づいていく。毎日書けば、書く人になる。毎日鍛えれば、鍛える人になる。毎晩だらだらスマホを見れば、それもまた自分を作っていく。一日ではほとんど差が見えないから、習慣は軽視されやすい。だが一年後には、その「ほとんど差がない一日」が何百回も積み上がっている。未来の自分は、願望より反復でできている。

Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink once said, “Other than death, all defeats are psychological. Never give up.” It is true: as long as you’re alive, you can start over. You’re never as stuck as you think. At any age, you can change direction, rebuild your life, and become someone new. You’re always allowed to begin again.

Major cheat code for life: Believe things will work out. Then work relentlessly to make that belief true. You don't need certainty. You need enough belief to keep moving through uncertainty.

For people who don’t get this. I don’t mean shouting affirmations in the mirror

In the first 60 mins after waking your brain becomes wired to its first hit of dopimane it gets

If you wake up and doom scroll you’ll have the urge to doom scroll all day

If you wake up and go straight into deep work all you will want to do is work all day as your brain will chase that particular dopimane hit.

The game is just setting up your environment to make it as easy as possible to do work as soon as you wake up before anything else.

Huge shoutout to my mom for not strangling me when things got tough.

[​𝐥𝐲𝐫𝐚 @sunnkssdseraph]

if you're kind and patient with strangers but lose your temper the moment you walk into your own house, you're performing for strangers while punishing the people who actually matter. If you're giving your best smile to your colleagues, but giving your tired version to your parents, you're saving your energy for people who will forget you tomorrow. If you're listening to everyone else's problems but have zero patience for the people who actually know you. You're seeking validation from the outside world instead of protecting the love you already have. You act your best for people who don't matter because you're afraid of what they think. But you give your family the leftovers, lower your efforts and mistake comfort for carelessness. Remember the world only loves you as long as you perform, but the people at home are the only ones who stay when the show is over.

Goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life.

I have to admit, I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought “He anoints my head with oil” was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel.

Anoint my head with oil

“Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. Do you have times of mental torment? Do the worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace in the valley! May our good good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!!”
