If motion doesn’t lead to results, why do we do it? Sometimes we do it because we actually need to plan or learn more. But more often than not, we do… - James Clear

Most of us are experts at avoiding criticism. It doesn’t feel good to fail or to be judged publicly, so we tend to avoid situations where that might happen. And that’s the biggest reason why you slip into motion rather than taking action: you want to delay failure.

And if you’re really hard-core, move the television out of the living room and into a closet after each use. You can be sure you’ll only take it out when you really want to watch something. The greater the friction, the less likely the habit.

The best way to change the world is in concentric circles: start with yourself and work your way out from there.

What is the real goal?

The real goal is not to "beat the market." The goal is to build wealth.

The real goal is not to read more books. The goal is to understand what you read.

Don't let a proxy become the target. Don't optimize for the wrong outcome.
