"The most industry experience per word on the web."

Here are a few short thoughts this week.

"We become good at what we practice even if what we practice is not good for us."

- Dandapani

Health

Every rep that you do is a vote for the person you want to become. And every excuse you make is a vote for the person you are trying to leave behind. That’s the process. Rep by rep. Black and white. Ones and zeroes. Did you do the thing or not.

Most coaching is just removing stuff that gets in the way.

Relationships

Complaining about a problem even if it is unfair and unjust doesn’t solve the problem and is therefore a waste of time.

Just because a fire can burn, doesn’t meant mean we stop using it to cook. Most bad things have good elements.
