3 Ideas For Better Habits
1
The Road to Success Is Inefficient
Jerry Seinfeld, comedian and actor best known for the famous Seinfeld sitcom, on the danger of efficiency.
“If you’re efficient, you’re doing it the wrong way. The right way is the hard way. The show was successful because I micromanaged it—every word, every line, every take, every edit, every casting. That’s my way of life.”

Accept Reality
Philosopher Anthony De Mello shares a brief story on the power of acceptance:
"Traveler: What kind of weather are we going to have today?
Shepherd: The kind of weather I like.
Traveler: How do you know it will be the kind of weather you like?
Shepherd: Having found out, sir, I cannot always get what I like, I have learned always to like what I get. So I am quite sure we will have the kind of weather I like."
