Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation… even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

Elevated standards create elevated results.

You notice this whenever you work with an outlier. The bar they set for themselves and others is beyond what most people imagine.

Standards apply not just to the quality of work you produce but the opportunities you work on. If you accept substandard work from yourself, you’ll only get average work from others. If you say yes to average projects, you’ll have no time for exceptional ones.

Raise the bar to raise the results.

The default is distraction, not improvement."

“It’s normal not to know what you’re doing.
If you did, it wouldn’t be called growth.
High-five your fear, uncertainty and doubt, and carry on.” — AlexHormozi

“You’re gonna be fine.

And even if you’re not gonna be fine, isn’t it better to just exist thinking you’re going to be fine until it’s not fine?

And then when it’s not fine you can just deal with it then.

But it makes no sense to ruin right now.” — billburr

When you make a mistake…

A bad partner will tell you what they told you a while ago to remind you how right they were.

A good partner will tell you what you said a while ago to remind you how right you were.

We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught.

The superheroes you have in your mind are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximized 1 or 2 strengths. Humans are imperfect creatures. You don’t “succeed” because you have no weaknesses; you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them.
