3 Ideas For Better Habits
Fuel for Success
Law professor and author, Ozan Varol, on the right reasons to keep going.
“Our ability to make the most out of uncertainty is what creates the most potential value. We should be fueled not by a desire for a quick catharsis but by intrigue. Where certainty ends, progress begins.”

Think Bigger
Retired US navy seal and public speaker, David Goggins, on striving for perfection.
"When a half-assed job doesn’t bother you, it speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. And until you start feeling a sense of pride and self-respect in the work you do, no matter how small or overlooked those jobs might be, you will continue to half-ass your life."
Goals Don’t Matter
American author, James Clear, on the importance of your system.
“If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.”
