    “One does not magically get one’s act together—it is a matter of many individual choices. It’s a matter of getting up at the right time, making your bed, resisting shortcuts, investing in yourself, doing your work. And make no mistake: while the individual action is small, its cumulative impact is not.”

    Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 161)

      “When the soil of the self is exhausted, no beautiful flowers can grow from it.”

      Mira Kirshenbaum, The Gift of a Year (Page 30)

        “There is no limit on better. Talent is distributed unfairly, but there is no limit on how much we can improve what we start with.”

        Breanna Morgan Quote on Growth and How It Leads To Comfort, Hope, and Better Days

          “there’s comfort

          knowing that

          today

          i am the worst

          i will ever

          be

          i will keep

          growing and

          i will be

          kinder and

          stronger and

          braver tomorrow”

          Beyond the Quote (203/365)

          Think about how utterly amazing this idea is: if you decide today, right now, that you are going to commit to growth, self-love, and personal development from this point forward then today is the worst you will ever be. That’s right—only better days from here! The only way you can get worse is if you regress. If you get better and improve, then so will your life. How could this not be the case? Growth is the antithesis of regression. Growth represents improvement, progress, and development. Ultimately, committing to growth is committing to life—a better life.

            “Our progress is paved with mistakes, failures, and defeats, and it’s our resilience that keeps us keeping on.  Every misstep is a teacher, and not all the things and people we lose in life end up being losses.  Our obsession with winning can cost us much more than losing a healthy outlook when life doesn’t go our way.  There’s always a lesson, a nugget of wisdom or a jewel waiting when things look like they won’t be going in our favor; we just have to be willing to pay attention and do some digging if need be.  Once we remind ourselves to find opportunity in any situation, there is no loss, just learning.  Failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s a path to it.” ~ Humble the Poet, Things No One Else Can Teach Us (Page 268)

              “No matter what you or I achieve, in sports, business, or life, we can’t be satisfied.  Life is too dynamic a game.  We’re either getting better or we’re getting worse.  Yes, we need to celebrate our victories.  There’s power in victory that’s transformative, but after our celebration we should dial it down, dream up new training regimens, new goals, and start at zero the very next day.  I wake up every day as if I am back in BUD/S, day one, week one.” ~ David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me

                “The purpose of setting goals is to win the game.  The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game.  True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking.  It’s not about any single accomplishment.  It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.  Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.” ~ James Clear, Atomic Habits
