Self Improvement Daily

Sometimes you need to get through doing it the hard way to discover the easy way (that you can use the next time).

More confident people are generally more willing to take action, which is precisely why more successful people can take action with less certainty.

It takes effort to stay the same - you must offset the natural direction of decline.

You can only pursue what you want, with full faith that if you don't get it then you got something better instead (that you weren't aware of).

Invest in others by showing up to help in a way that is abundant, thoughtful, and non-transactional.
