Believing in ourselves is overrated. You don’t have to believe to be or do. Replace your belief with the evidence of what works and just do « that ». The more you do, the more you’ll be.

Thanks @LeilaHormozi

Let it offend you that someone else could be handed your days, and turn them into something greater. —Seneca

Your nervous system changes through repeated experiences of doing the thing that once felt unsafe and discovering that you can tolerate it.

The issues you’re willing to face and swallow will grant you their power. Those you refuse to face will gain power over you.

“New habits are the things that you do, old habits are the things that you are. There's a difference between waking up early and being an early riser, eating a healthy meal and being a healthy eater, getting some work done and being a productive person.“ —Tynan

At take-off, a plane burns fuel faster, and the pilots are fully present.
But for most of the flight, they fly on autopilot.

At take-off, a spaceship burns through fuel and sheds entire boosters just to overcome gravity.
But once in space, the journey gets smoother.

We want the cruising altitude for our dreams, but rarely consider the violent and binary nature of take-off.
Generate enough force to leave the ground, or remain where you are.

Counterintuitive: Sometimes the cure for procrastination is to load your plate until no single task carries enough weight to intimidate you. Scarcity inflates importance. Volume strips it of ceremony. Load up.

Interestingly, every time we reach said future, we realise how much of it was shaped yesterday.

So the question stands, If you could have tomorrow all over again, would you do today differently?

[Patrick Romuald @PatRomuald]

If you could have tomorrow all over again, would you do today differently?

We mostly drift through our days as if tomorrow was completely up to luck, or as if it was a surprise waiting to stumble upon us.

The top of your personal mountain will often reveal another top.
The edge of your capacity will often reveal another edge.

You’re operating today beyond what you once considered too hard, because at some point you decided to stretch your capacity, and play at the limit.

Systems fail when the organisation they’re set up in isn’t prepared to sustain them.

[Patrick Romuald @PatRomuald]

For a new system in work for your organisation, you must cultivate the environment that allows it to take root, grow and endure. 

The new system is only the seed. The people are the soil, and the systems they already operate in constitute the climate.

Focus is elimination.
Chase ONE scary outcome,
With a gear you've never used before,
At a speed that would break at least one thing.
That's my challenge to you this weekend.

“It’s never too pate to improve.” -Buffet

[SMB Attorney @SMB_Attorney]

Wow... Warren Buffet says goodbye in his final annual letter today (full copy in the comments below).

As he signed off, the following were final words of advice:

"One perhaps self-serving observation. I’m happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them. You can start with Tom Murphy; he was the best.

Remember Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame, who – reportedly – read his own obituary that was mistakenly printed when his brother died and a newspaper got mixed up. He was horrified at what he read and realized he should change his behavior.

Don’t count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it.

Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.

I write this as one who has been thoughtless countless times and made many mistakes but also became very lucky in learning from some wonderful friends how to behave better (still a long way from perfect, however). Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman."
