more reps. more attempts. more volume. more output. more at bats. more swings. more mornings. more hours in the room. more shots. the people who win just do more. that’s the boring truth nobody wants to hear because it doesn’t fit in a framework or a four step system. just do more. do more than the person next to you. do more than you did yesterday. more more more.

Exceptional people are rare. When you find someone wonderful, invest in them.
-When you find a great employee, pay them well.
-When you find a great friend, prioritize the relationship.
-When you find a great spouse, out-love them each day.
Relationships are probably the most important part of life. Take care of the great ones.

Bill Burr’s advice will banish anxiety from your life:
“You’re gonna be fine. And even if you’re not gonna be fine, isn’t it better to just exist thinking you’re gonna be fine. And then when it’s not fine you can just f*cking handle it then.”

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:
Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.
Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

you aren't the average of the five people you spend the most time with. you're the average of the five people you spend the most time consuming. read timeless biographies. watch old interviews. follow the obsessed. study iconic lectures. brainwash yourself with greatness.

REMINDER that Van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" in a mental asylum, Dostoevsky wrote "The Gambler" to pay off gambling debts, and Dickens wrote "The Christmas Carol" when he was broke and his wife on their 5th child. Stress has produced more art than "slow saturdays" ever will

When things get static, you need to change something. Anything. You need chaos. You need novelty. You need the experiences and ideas that fuel forward progress. Build something new. Test test test. Rip apart your daily routine. Do anything but the same thing.
