Some things work and some things don't. There is almost always another way to get where you want to go. Don't keep trying to open a locked door. - James Clear

Water never complains, but always pushes back. Always.

Drop a boulder in front of a stream and the water will simply flow around it, taking whatever opening the landscape will give or—when nothing is offered—patiently building up its resources until it rises to a height where a new gap is found.

Persist like water. When an obstacle is placed in front of you, find your way around or gather your resources until a new opportunity reveals itself.

Each day is a small lifetime. Live a good life today.

Use the moments of high motivation to make it easier when you have low motivation.

-When you feel like you should exercise, set out your gym clothes and water bottle so it's easier to do the next workout.

-When you feel grateful, buy some Thank You cards so it's easier to write the next Thank You note.

-When you feel the urge to eat healthy, pick a recipe now so you don't have to decide what to make for the next meal.

Use the occasional burst of motivation to make the next habit easier.
