A quote and a blurb of wisdom
‘Clarify what you want.
Then work as hard as you can for as long as it takes’ - Ben Bergeron
Having clarity over exactly what we want is already a huge win. Everything else can then fall into place around this.
Your motivation and strategic thinking now has a purpose…an ultimate goal.
Ofcourse working hard for as long as it takes is great, but be careful not to burn out or become victim to the hustle mentality.
Ultimately you can only do it your way. Work in a way that fits YOUR circumstances and goals!
Bullet tips
Productivity:
‘The sooner you can make a choice the sooner you can make an adjustment’
In a way you could say this is unproductive. If the decision is never going to be made, then it is productive.
It’s better to make a choice and have the ball rolling, adjustments can be made along the way. Much of the time it’s better to take action that none at all.
Life:
‘Eventually…
Execution beats luck,
Consistency beats intensity,
Curiosity beats smart,
Kind beats cleaver,
Together beats alone’ - Shane Parrish
These words make anything seem possible. Love how Shane shows us that real instinctive human values eventually win. So simply put, but so valuable.
Fitness:
‘The desire to improve does not have to come from a place of self-loathing’ - James Clear
Don’t wait until it’s too late to change your life, change can come at any time. This quote is fitting, as many of us will only decide to improve our lifestyles at rock bottom.
It doesn’t have to be that way! Start now, it will only get harder the longer it brews. (Currently fighting this battle, promise I’ll start tomorrow!)
Wealth:
‘By saving, you’re buying your future.
By borrowing, you’re selling your future’ - @wiseconnector
Is it that simple?
We all don’t have the luxury of choosing. Sometimes borrowing is the only way to get by. If you can, start by saving small.
Remember saving is a habit like any other habit in life, compounding will take its course.
