You don't need to chant how amazing you are, or feel inspired by the person you are to win. You just need to repeat successful actions longer and more diligently than any reasonable person would. And that - thankfully - has nothing to do with how you feel today.

How fast your life moves and improves is directly correlated with how fast you’re willing to have hard conversations.

You get rich by betting on things other people are wrong about. Because most "good" investments have their "goodness" priced into them, making them "mediocre" or "bad" investments in reality. The key is to find something that looks bad but is actually good. Which means you gotta be willing to have people tell you why you're dumb (then wait). Then get called lucky. Then do it a few more times. Then have people say you're finally good. But by the time they say you're good it already stopped mattering to you what they thought because why would you respect someone's judgment who was so repeatedly bad? They now only say you're good because everyone else does and not because they could ever make up their minds on their own.

5 things worth protecting: 1. Your sleep 2. Your circle 3. Your word 4. Your attention 5. Your calendar Give any of these away cheap and you'll feel it.
