3 IDEAS FROM ME

I.

“Train while it’s easy so you’re ready when it’s hard.”


​II.

“Unshared knowledge is like potential energy. It’s nice to have, but it only moves things when you transform it into something else. Your contribution is what you share, not what you know.”


III.

“Spend less time trying to find motivation and more time making good habits the path of least resistance.”

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I.

Novelist and writer Louisa May Alcott reminds us that enthusiasm is a real asset in any endeavor:

“She brought so much love, energy, and cheerfulness to the work that she could not but succeed.”

​II.

Author Leo Tolstoy encourages us to walk deliberately toward a grand vision by focusing on our daily output:

“… for a man walking a thousand miles it is absolutely necessary to set aside his final goal and to say to himself each morning: ‘Today I will walk twenty-five miles to a resting place and sleep,’ and during each day’s journey reaching that resting place eclipses his ultimate goal and becomes his sole focus.”
