Stress and worry tend to be higher before you act. Without action, all you can do is worry. Once you begin, fear shrinks as you start to influence … - 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.

With the creative process, the key is to create a lot and edit a lot.

Make more than you need, then remove everything that isn't exceptional.

Never be so busy comparing what you have that you forget how fortunate you are to have it.
