3 Ideas For Better Habits
1
Whatever Your Beliefs, There is Faith
Best-selling novelist, Dan Brown, on the universality of faith and truth.
“Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some of us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.”

Refine Your Vision to Overcome Short-term Distractions
President and Founder of The 12 Week Year, Brian P. Moran, on the importance of vision-goal-action alignment.
“The secret to living your life to its potential is to value the important stuff above your own comfort. Therefore, the critical first step to executing well is creating and maintaining a compelling vision of the future that you want even more than you desire your own short-term comfort, and then aligning your shorter-term goals and plans, with that long-term vision.”
