By default, we typically don't want to hear the truth. We just want to hear confirmation of what we already believe is the truth.

Your best performances will come when you are working in a way that is a full expression of you. The work becomes a natural display of your personality. This is when you not only get better results, but also love the activity — because in doing the craft, you feel alive.

The longer you try to force what doesn’t feel right, the longer you delay finding what does.

Compete externally and you compare. Compete internally and you improve.

If you feel like you need encouragement in order to do something—then you never really wanted to do it, did you?

Yes it does. A great life lesson
Pain teaches us two things: 1. What’s worth sacrificing for 2. Who we are when life doesn’t go our way

Calling all short story writers! We're currently looking for stories with a contemporary setting, set from January onwards for the weekly and mid-March onwards for the Special. All word counts welcome but especially 3000 and 2000.

This is so true. When you’re spending your time on what really matters to you, it’s not tiring at all so you cannot burn out.
People don’t burn out from doing too much. They burn out from doing too little of what matters.

This is spot on. Our digital world will soon control us, or rather, those who control it control us. AND they can switch off your life and livelihood anytime they feel like it, with just the flick of a switch.
In our once free country, you used to own the things you paid for and didn’t live your life on subscription. The digital prison is closing in. Not just in Australia but globally. Once it’s complete, your freedom will rely on your compliance to big government and big tech who will control the off switch to your participation in society.

Success isn't finding the one trick or secret nobody knows. It's doing the boring things everyone knows about but are too undisciplined to do. Get good at being boring.

Agree! Agree! Agree! Routine is beautiful not just for the time it saves but because of how easy things become when they are part of my routine. No decision fatigue necessary.
The beauty of routine is that you don’t waste your day in negotiation

There could not be a worse start for a dog, but look at how he never forgot the man who saved him. So heartwarming and a great ending for a sweet dog. Niall's is a charity I will never stop supporting.
I always wondered if Rocky would remember me. What a treat this weekend was ❤️
