One of my favorite newsletters subscriptions, James Clear shares a weekly email titled 3-2-1. 3 ideas, 2 quotes and 1 question. Wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from the past month, thought it would be a fitting way to catch up from my hiatus.
“If I keep doing what I am about to do today for the next five years, will I end up with more of what I want or less of what I want?”
“Saying no saves you time in the future. Saying yes costs you time in the future.
No is like a time credit, you can spend the block of time in the future. Yes is like a time debt, you have to repay that commitment at some point.
No is a decision, yes is a responsibility.”
“Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing someone to change their tribe. If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too. You have to give them somewhere to go. Nobody wants their worldview torn apart if loneliness is the outcome.”
Stay well.
