3 Ideas For Better Habits
The Humble Path to Greatness

Author, Matt Haig, on discovering resilience.
"The best thing about rock bottom is the rock part. You discover the solid bit of you. The bit that can't be broken down further. The thing that you might sentimentally call a soul. At our lowest we find the solid ground of our foundation. And we can build ourselves anew."
Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, Viktor Emil Frankl, on the importance of understanding.
"No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same."
