Sometimes I See Pictures From When I Was Younger And It Makes Me Wonder Why I Spent So Much Time Hating

nothing feels better than breaking those old habits that were holding you down

Essentialism, Greg McKeown

Be highly selective. Don’t attend meetings when you have nothing to contribute, don’t read newsletters if you already know or if it doesn’t really matter to you. Stop moving an inch forward in a million different directions and start gaining momentum in getting one major thing done.

Pursue less but better in a disciplined way

Warren Buffet owes 90% of his wealth to just 10 investments

On trade offs: don’t ask ‘what do I want to give up?’ ask ‘what do I want to go big on?’

Less, but better : if trying to start a journaling habit, start by always writing less than you want to. Usually, on the first day, you’ll write many pages, and then you’ll quickly start to dreading having to write so much. Until you’ve made journaling a habit, write very little.

Your strategy can’t be “pretty clear”. Anyone who wears glasses knows there is a difference between “pretty clear” and “really clear”.

Learn the art of the slow yes and the quick no

Beware the sunk cost bias: continuing something we would otherwise move on from, simply because we have already invested time or money in it. It’s a vicious cycle

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, subtract things everyday. - Lao Tzu

Cues are essential in making routines smoother: if you charge your phone each night and you’d like to start journaling, put your journal right by your charger

Tackle your routines one by one: to get big results, we must start small

Eat mindfully. Live in the moment

Check in often to ensure meaningful progress

Y’all need to stop using social media and start going outside. Literally, go OUTSIDE. Some of y’all are allowing social media to give you a warped representation of reality. People in the real world aren’t even like what half of the stuff you guys are telling me in my inbox. The majority of the people y’all see on Twitter and Instagram don’t know what they’re talking about.

“If there is ever, even for a fleeting moment, a tiny voice in your head, and that tiny voice is telling you, "I deserve better", listen to her. That’s your partner. That’s your real, true love. And if you betray her long enough, you will lose her.” You (S03E10)

The Craft (1996)

Good Day everyone, I got rejected from my dream university last Monday Afternoon. I still feel like absolute crap, my appetite got affected as well.

But, I was at the department store last tuesday (still stuffy and gloomy from the night before) and I saw this notebook.

Yes, the rejection part still hurts. Maybe that school simply wasn’t for me. I’m still waiting for some of my college application results to come. I’m already accepted in two, but it still hurts.

This will suck for a while, I’m behind on some of my school works and I’m literally all over the place.

I know this will get better and there is an infinite amount of possibilities open for me when I go out there. Rejection is cosmic redirection. 🤍
