Aurelius quote on my journal to remind me of that: “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”
Consistency Is Key: Improve By 0.1% Every
When things go wrong, we become our own worst enemy because we focus on things we don’t control.
Instead of thinking, take a step back, and focus on what lies within your control. What do you control? Essentially, we only control our own actions and mindset.

“Your comfort zone.” A little circle. “Where the magic happens.” A big circle that stands for the promise of success.
Instead, start from the very bottom. Build a strong foundation. Get comfortable before you do scary stuff.
Other things that complete your foundation: Family. If you don’t have a family, create one. Friends. You can’t be friends with everyone. Stick to a few people who also stick to you. Yourself. Consciously improve your body and mind. Go to bed a little stronger and wiser every night.
I prefer to look at facts and make conclusions like a pragmatist.

Wallace D. Wattles, one of the first famed personal development authors, said it best: “You get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created. You do not have to take anything away from any

Fear begets fear.
When you’re afraid that you won’t be able to grow, what will happen? Exactly, you won’t grow!
it’s also not easy to find a career that truly satisfies you, both mentally and financially.
Ronald McDonald was the first who had the CHO title in 2003.
A CHO is responsible for the wellness and happiness of employees.
It doesn’t matter what others think. If you believe in something and if you can create value, go for it.
Before you know it, you’ll have so much opportunity that you don’t know what to do with it.
Netherlands, we call that a “luxury problem.”
“You don’t get to the highest levels of the sport without having the basics in order.”
Without having the basics in order, you’ll never achieve your full potential.
You get stronger by lifting weights, rep after rep. You build stamina by performing anaerobic exercise.
Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, said it best: “Long-term, we must begin to build our internal strengths. It isn’t just skills like computer technology. It’s the old-fashioned basics of self-reliance, self-motivation, self-reinforcement, self-discipline, self-command.”
Muhammad Ali once said that: “It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”
I regularly grab The Elements Of Style by Strunk & White to repeat the basics of simple and effective writing.
Without repetition, we forget things easily.

When I have high energy, I’m in a good mood, and when I’m in a good mood, I do better work. And when I do better work, I feel satisfied with my life so I can give more to the people in my life. And that improves my relationships.
Clayton M. Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor, and author of How Will You Measure Your Life? writes: “The single most important factor in our long-term happiness is the relationships we have with our family and close friends.”

Without action, knowledge is useless.
