💡 Here are 3-tips to help you learn, grow, and be inspired this week!
🎓 Learn
James Clear, a well-known writer and author of the bestselling book "Atomic Habits" sends out a weekly newsletter called 3-2-1.
In the last 5 years, he has published over 200 issues, all of which I have read. I want to share my favorite ideas from these newsletters, as they have helped me learn, grow, and find inspiration. I hope they can do the same for you.
#1
“Habits will form whether you want them or not.
Whatever you repeat, you reinforce.”
#2
“The most invisible form of wasted time is doing a good job on an unimportant task.”
#3
“When you say no, you are only saying no to one option.
When you say yes, you are saying no to every other option.
No is a decision.
Yes is a responsibility.
Be careful what (and who) you say yes to. It will shape your day, your career, your family, your life.”
#4
“Curiosity is the beginning of knowledge. Action is the beginning of change.”
#5
“It's easier to notice when you lose money than when you lose time. Be sure you're making the trade you want.”
#6
"You help people when they need help, not when you are ready to help them.”
#7
"People usually judge you based on where you are at currently, not what you could become eventually. Don't let one comment stop you from trying. File it away or use it as fuel. Focus on getting better. Someone else's analysis of your current position doesn't tell you anything about your current potential.”
#8
"Life rewards action, not intelligence.
Many brilliant people talk themselves out of getting started, and being smart doesn't help very much without the courage to act.
You can't win if you're not in the game."
#9
“New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do.
And a lifestyle is not an outcome, it is a process. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”
#10
“Before you begin, think as if you are a lazy person. Imagine the competition will work harder. Your only chance is a better strategy.
After you begin, work as if you are a dumb person. Imagine the competition is smarter and more talented. Your only chance is to outwork them.”
