The Best Minute: On good habits, taking steps of faith, and letting go

Dec 8

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Steven Pressfield on fear when pursuing your goals:

“Are you paralyzed with fear? That’s a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember one rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.”

II. Albert Gray on the importance of good habits:

“Every single qualification for success is acquired through habit. People form habits and habits form futures. If you do not deliberately form good habits, then unconsciously you will form bad ones. You are the kind of person you are because you have formed the habit of being that kind of person, and the only way you can change is through habit.”

2 IDEAS FROM ME

I. People who are willing to take steps of faith most people don’t will experience God in ways most people won’t.

II. If you suffer from tasks being missed, use an online task manager (I used Todoist) and assign due dates to all of your tasks. No matter how big or small your task is, put a due date on every new task you add to your list. At the end of the day, if there were tasks you assigned to yourself that day that weren't done, simply change the due date. But give it a due date. Otherwise, your tasks just might fall through the cracks.

Dredging up memories isn’t exactly like pulling a file from a folder. Your brain has to recreate and reimagine that memory. And it’s not a perfect copy of the original.
