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.

To learn from the best, you don’t need to meet them, you just need to absorb them. This can be through books, audio, or a single powerful quote.
Feeding your mind is how you become your own best coach.
To paraphrase Jim Loehr: The power broker in your life is the voice that no one ever hears. How well you revisit the tone and content of your private voice is what determines the quality of your life. It is the master storyteller, and the stories we tell ourselves are our reality.
For instance, how do you speak to yourself when you make a mistake that upsets you? Would you speak that way to a dear friend when they’ve made a mistake? If not, you have work to do. Trust me, we all have work to do.

"Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything."

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.

"It's everybody's duty to give the world a reason to dance."

The “bike-shed” effect, originally described by C. Northcote Parkinson.
To illustrate this phenomenon, let’s compare a conversation about building a nuclear power plant with building a bike shed.
Most people rightly assume that they know nothing about something as complex as a nuclear power plant and so won’t voice an opinion. Most people wrongly assume, however, that they know something about building a bike shed and will argue until the cows come home about every detail down to paint color.
Everyone you meet (every male, at least) will have a strong opinion about how you should train and eat. For the next two to four weeks, cultivate selective ignorance and refuse to have bike-shed discussions with others.
Friends, foes, colleagues, and well-intentioned folks of all stripes will offer distracting and counterproductive additions and alternatives.
Nod, thank them kindly, and step away to do what you’ve planned. Nothing more and nothing different.

Motivation comes and goes. It’s like a wave, sometimes high, sometimes low.
But discipline is steady. It doesn’t waver, no matter the day.
Motivation is the spark. Discipline is the fuel that keeps the fire burning.
When motivation fades, discipline takes over.
Stay disciplined, and you’ll achieve greatness.

Being a loser has nothing to do with money or status or power or success (you can have all those things and still be a massive loser) but rather a certain joyless and narcissistic orientation toward the world, those in it, and yourself, and you can unloser yourself at any time

1. If you had a heart attack and had to work two hours per day, what would you do?
Not five hours, not four hours, not three—two hours. It’s not where I want you to ultimately be, but it’s a start. Besides, I can hear your brain bubbling already: That’s ridiculous. Impossible! I know, I know. If I told you that you could survive for months, functioning quite well, on four hours of sleep per night, would you believe me? Probably not. Notwithstanding, millions of new mothers do it all the time. This exercise is not optional. The doctor has warned you, after triple-bypass surgery, that if you don’t cut down your work to two hours per day for the first three months post-op, you will die. How would you do it?
2. If you had a second heart attack and had to work two hours per week, what would you do?
3. If you had a gun to your head and had to stop doing ⅘ of different time-consuming activities, what would you remove?
Simplicity requires ruthlessness. If you had to stop ⅘ of time-consuming activities—e-mail, phone calls, conversations, paperwork, meetings, advertising, customers, suppliers, products, services, etc.—what would you eliminate to keep the negative effect on income to a minimum? Used even once per month, this question alone can keep you sane and on track.

A question about Action Bias and how can you improve your bias towards action

A question to think about:
What percent of your expenses goes toward memories?

Organized crime outfits are good at bribing airline employees for flight manifests (lists of passengers).
They then Google each name, create a list of apparent high-value targets, and arrive early to look for the right names on limo driver signs. They pay or threaten the actual limo drivers, who leave and are replaced.
This is why I use pseudonyms for any car service pickups around the world. By using a made-up name for your car reservation, if you see a placard with your real name on it, you know it’s a set-up.
If you become successful—or simply appear successful on the Internet—and travel a lot overseas, this is not paranoia.

The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused).

Khaled Hosseini wrote The Kite Runner in the early mornings before working as a full-time doctor. Paul Levesque often works out at midnight. If it’s truly important, schedule it. As Paul might ask you, “Is that a dream or a goal?” If it isn’t on the calendar, it isn’t real.

You would give up your dreams in order to escape your nightmares and I would not. I think it’s a bad bargain.

The Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, beloved for his fairy tales, including “The Little Mermaid” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” perhaps put it best:
“Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower”
