Before you discover what you love: fewer commitments, more experiments. After you discover what you love: fewer experiments, more commitments. - James Clear

Exerting more effort doesn't help if you're on the wrong trajectory.

– Working harder on the wrong thing just wastes more time.
– Learning more from a biased source will lead you further from the truth.
– Doubling down on a toxic relationship only sets you up for more headaches.

Before you try harder, make sure you are walking a path that leads where you want to go.

A mindset that can take you far in life:

What I want doesn't exist, so I'll create it.

The source of healthy boundaries is self-love and self-respect. When you learn to love yourself, you are less likely to put up with people who don't love you back.
