“The distance between dreams and reality is called discipline.” — Paulo Coelho

Embrace your strangeness. Identify what makes you different. Fuse those things together and become an anomaly.

If you want momentum, you’ll have to create it yourself, right now, by getting up and getting started.

Jamie Dimon is not fucking around today… “China is an adversary, but what I really worry about is the enemy within. Can we get our own act together, our own values and capabilities. This time is different… we have to get our act together and quickly.”

Schopenhauer on the art of not reading:

Easy mental exercise to identify pain points + what is holding you back in your life

We all have a superpower that we neglect. The ability to talk to the dead. Through books, we are able to commune with some of the smartest, wisest people to ever live.

Hate to break it to you but the hours spent in your head won't save you from the second needed to take the step

When you're lacking motivation, remind yourself: discipline now, freedom later. The labor will pass, and the rewards will last.

Vincent Van Gogh on starting small:

“Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.” — ​William James

One day you'll wake up and unless you take massive action you will wake up with regret and anxiety that you didn't go all in on life. Time to lock in. Your time is now!

Everyone needs to hear this…

Meditation is intermittent fasting for the mind. Too much sugar leads to a heavy body & too many distractions lead to a heavy mind. Time spent undistracted & alone, in self-examination, journaling,meditation, resolves the unresolved and takes us from mentally fat to fit. @naval

Most people would benefit to look at their life & career in this way: "If I was a stranger stepping into this person's life, what would I immediately fix or change to make it better?" Write them down. Do those things *now.*
