Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your identity.

This is why habits are crucial. They cast repeated votes for being a certain type of person.

Simple is nearly always better. But if it's going to be complicated, then make sure the problem is worth the complexity. A great deal of time is wasted creating complex solutions to relatively unimportant problems.

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.

Writing is the antidote to confusion.
