Loved this quote from the @farnamstreet newsletter today: Software Engineer Billy Markus on human behavior: “People are not rational. They are rationalizing. Once you understand this simple fact, all the oddest human behavior will suddenly make way more sense.” This quote captures a fundamental insight about human psychology: we don’t make decisions through pure logic and then act on them. Instead, we make decisions first (often based on emotion, intuition, or impulse) and then create logical-sounding explanations afterward. Understanding this doesn’t mean people are stupid—it means we’re human. Once you recognize that the logical explanation someone gives (including yourself) is often a post-hoc story rather than the actual cause, human behavior becomes much more predictable and comprehensible.

@BStulberg 💯

Progress is often slow, non-linear, and more challenging than you think. Popular culture says it should be fast, predictable, and easy. Ignore this. Be patient. The goal is the path and the path is the goal. So much of success simply comes down to staying on it.

What separates average athletes from the elite? Attentional control. The ability to focus your attention where you want, when you want, for as long as needed — so you can take deliberate action anchored in your training.

Life places before us hundreds of possibilities. Some are bad. Many are good. A few, the best. But each of us must decide, "What is my choice? What is my reason for living?" In other words, "What priority takes first place in my life?" - Charles Swindoll
