If you genuinely care about the goal, you'll focus on the system. - 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.

If you want to avoid criticism, create less.

If you want to avoid irrelevance, create more.

You know yourself mostly by your thoughts.

Everyone else in the world knows you only by your actions.

Remember this when you feel misunderstood. You have to do or say something for others to know how you feel.
