3 Ideas For Better Habits
Where Do You Place Your Attention?
Author into, Nir Eyal, on finding joy in the ordinary.
“Fun is looking for the variability in something other people don’t notice. It’s breaking through the boredom and monotony to discover its hidden beauty.”
Do You Follow Through With Action?
Novelist, Nicholas Sparks, on the importance of action.
"You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter."

Do You Ignore Your Emotions?
Spanish blogger and author, Hector Garcia, on facing challenges.
“Regarding human emotions, the Zen master would say, “If we try to get rid of one wave with another, we end up with an infinite sea.” We don't create our feelings; they simply come to us, and we have to accept them. The trick is welcoming them.”
