Five Notes: On raising each moment, the effort of Great Work, and watching your thoughts

1 Quote From Others

Ray Dalio:

"Making the most of your circumstances is what life is all about."

Source: Principles: Life and Work

Reflection: Treat your moments as sacred. Do not spurn them for distraction. Cherish them as you would a child. Raise each one, whether or not you would have chosen it. In time, you will feel lighter as you align your choices with your circumstances.

3 Ideas From Me

I.

"The brain learns best through consistent repetition at the edge of your comfort zone."

II.

"When you set out to do Great Work, you will be misunderstood by many.

The effort required to create something that outlives you will seem unreasonable to most.

But you will know it was worthwhile because it was in service of something greater than you."

III.

"You are not your thoughts.

You are the one who is aware of your thoughts."
