Optionality vs One Big Win. I always like optionality because I get many shots at success. I'm ok reaching goals with a higher probability of success even if I'm slower to make it to the finish line.

The more I read about Elon Musk, the more I realize that he didn't know how things would shape up. He had a vague idea of what interested him, what he wanted to do with his time and money (have an impact), and the rest of the picture got chiseled as he solved problems. @elonmusk

I don't think you can feel strong without lifting some weights. And that feeling is cantagious.

We tend to experience loss up to 4x greater than what we gain. It is in our DNA to see change and uncertainty as threatening.

The mind is always searching for something to solve. The next worry. The next task. The next milestone. How do we make it still? Being in the present, problem solving one thing at a time, is also a skill.

Counting backwards from 100 and visualising each number with each breath is one way to learn how to focus. The mind will wander and you will learn to bring it back to the number and the breath. It's an excellent exercise. Some call it meditation.

Progress compounds bit by bit. The incremental steps are too weak to be felt but if you zoom out you'll realise how far you've come.

Do you own your work or does your work own you?

Your business depends on your health. At the core of health is the food you eat. I eat protein rich meals from Monday to Friday. I eat the same meals everyday.

Saturdays are Faturdays. Eat whatever. Sundays are Fun Days. Again not very disciplined here but end up defaulting to egg sandwiches, noodles and the like. Garbage In = Fat Out. Nutrition In = Abs Out. Eat well! Do whatever is easy and you can stick to.
