3 Ideas For Better Habits

The Secret of Success

American best-selling author, James Clear, on the truth of progress.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it—but all that had gone before."

Productivity blogger, Darius Foroux, on the key to useful thoughts.

"If you want to have useful thoughts, here’s a rule of thumb: Only think about things you can control. That automatically eliminates about 99% of your thoughts because there’s very little you control in life."

Master of influence and persuasion, Phil M. Jones, on accepting discomfort.

"Get comfortable being uncomfortable."
