In some areas of life, your reputation is defined by your wins.

• Creative pursuits. One bestseller or hit song can erase the memory of the ones that didn't work.
• Entrepreneurship. People rarely remember your failed business ideas, only your winning ones.

In areas like these, your mistakes fade away and the breakthroughs last. But in other areas of life, your reputation is defined by your losses.

• Crime. You can drive safely 364 days a year, but one DUI changes everything.
• Ethics and morals. One unethical decision can ruin a reputation and destroy trust.

In areas like these, your mistakes linger and consistency is rewarded.

Some areas of life reward your best day. Others punish your worst day. <br/>Know which situation you're in, and you can better decide when to be risky and when to play it safe.

Additional quotes by James Clear

Mental toughness is often framed as the perseverance that gets you across the finish line:

• Find a way to make it happen
• Push through the pain
• Grind it out to the end

But most days, mental toughness isn't about crossing the finish line. It's about getting to the starting line:

• Show up when no one is watching
• Keep your eye on the ball
• Do a little bit every day

Mental toughness is not skipping the days that are easy to skip.

The best properties are rarely for sale.

The best employees are rarely job hunting.

The best clients are rarely shopping.

The best option is usually off the market. Most people think this means you can't have it. What it really means is you have to go find it and sell yourself.
