Week 6, 2024
Nearly everyone overestimates what they can get done in a day, and underestimates what they can get done in a year.
Expect great things for yourself... we're all counting on you
Week 5, 2024
I've worked hard on things that didn't pan out, and I've worked hard on things that did. The only unifying theme in my life is that I have benefited from, and learned to love hard work. (Most kinds.)
Week 4, 2024
You can choose to be tougher. You should value toughness over ability. You always have a choice to endure, to push yourself a bit farther than you prefer.
Week 3, 2024
Focus on becoming the person you need to be to accomplish the goals that you need to accomplish, to achieve the dreams that you have for yourself. Think of yourself as the author, not the character...
Week 2, 2024
Your "self" isn't immutable. You aren't "a certain type of person". You are an evolving experiment. One that is certainly affected by the observer, and one whose outcome is affected by the inputs. If you want to carry something different in your heart, you can do that. You just have to want it bad enough that you can let go of the person you have been.
Week 1, 2024
You have to be ok with an imperfect start. You have to laser focus on your goal while still fending off and plowing through all of the INEVITABLE distractions. It's more important to be resilient and persistent than it is to be perfect.
Week 52, 2023
Your life is a project. It is a complex, multi-dimensional initiative that would require a department of 100 people to successfully bring to market. But... you are just one person, not a department of 100...
Week 51, 2023
If you are considering a change for the better, you need to acknowledge the you that you have to let go of. It's ok to be sad and to grieve that version of yourself... but the price of every new and better version of you is leaving the old version behind.
Week 50, 2023
Spend time with your family and friends. The to-do list will still be there when you return.
Week 49, 2023
We are all recovering. Relapse is part of recovery. In everything that you want to improve, on every personal hill that you are climbing, you will eventually backslide. Hopefully you don't tumble all the way down the hill. Hopefully you slide to a stop and immediately refocus on the summit that inspired you in the first place.
