Self Improvement Daily

You achieve your goals by taking effective actions, which are more likely to happen when you make a plan for when you're going to do them.

The hardest step to any process is just beginning - the heaviest weight in the gym is the front door because the fewest amount of people have the strength to move it.

Self-discipline is just as much about what you don't do, and say "no" to, as it is what you get yourself to follow through on.

A joyous life involves a personal culture of friendliness.

The right thing to do is always the right thing to do.

While it may seem like our personal effectiveness comes from the quality of our strategy, it's often more limited by our energetic state.

Taking action comes down to no more than this: Knowing what to do, knowing how to do it, and following through on doing it.

A first judgment is your ego talking, and it's often not aligned with your good intentions.

Give yourself your best chance at staying consistent by having three variations of action you can take, each with different difficulty levels.

Things naturally expand or perform to their first limitation, the constraint.

What do you see other people do exceptionally well that you'd pay $10,000 to do well yourself?

The fulfillment you derive from your work is more closely associated with the spirit you do it with than what it is you're doing.

The world opens up to you when you come from a place of genuine service.

Our unconscious mind is one of the greatest forces of resistance in our lives, but even so it has good intentions.

If your perspective doesn't align with someone else's, assume that they're right and seek to fill in the missing pieces.

Many people fall into a sad spot where they're unhappy but not unhappy enough to do anything about it.

It serves us to do less of what doesn't work, but we're unconsciously attached to the comfort of it (making it harder to take action on).

Everyone faces off with their challenges in the same cycle called The Heroes Journey.

The expectations of others plays a role in shaping your environment, which shapes your future behind the scenes.

The 'audience effect' holds you to a higher standard when you're being observed by others, and it's amplified when that person is someone you deeply respect.

Even if it doesn't come naturally to you, you can be the type or person that makes other people's day.

For tasks that appear to have an endless horizon, chunk it down into an achievable goal and it reframes the task at hand.

What's more important over the long term is that you're going in a fulfilling direction than how fast you go.

Remember, we're always doing our best with the information awareness we have in the moment.

Your mind is more likely to take an action when it's a fun thing to do... So you can use 'fun' as leverage to get more consistent.

The ego creates a sense of individuality, driven to compare you to others.

Human nature wants to fill the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Just because you don't know how it can be done does not me that it can't be done.

Doing small hard things every trains you to take on big hard things too.
