@NotionDose For your AI Prompt Box template, I understand you can create different groups. But when I create a new group, how do I show it in the left bar

Don't underestimate the power of your inner voice.

Nothing is impossible to achieve, but some paths will never lead you there. Wisdom is knowing when a path gets tough because no one has else has travelled that far... And when a path gets tough because it’s leading you in the wrong direction.

Learn, master one skill. Then learn another. Then combine them to become a master of something hard and rare.

If there's a secret to happiness... I think it's to reject the idea that you should feel comfortable most of the time. It's our expectation that normal=never feeling bad that ruins our inner peace.

Worry about the best in you, not the worst.

Reject the mindset of scarcity. There is enough for you to have your dreams come true and enough for everyone else's too.

Diversify your reality by seeking wisdom from different sources.

Don’t worry about being different. Worry about what it means to be the same.

How you view your day will largely determine how it goes.

You won’t take control of your life until you take control of how you feel, and where you direct your energy.

Focusing on your craft. That’s what will take you a long way.

What is easier: To learn or to unlearn?

Get comfortable with the discomfort of being wrong.

The world is evolving. And so should your opinions.

People will spend 14 hours a day working on a golf swing... Or planning and building a PC... Or learning a tune on the piano by ear... And they’ll do it without a financial incentive. People aren’t lazy, they’re uninspired.
