Robert Greene: Learn by Doing. “The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.”

Don't use your energy to worry. Use your energy to learn and create.

James Clear on the power of daily habits:

Keep showing up. Effort never betrays you.

Tolstoy’s advice to achieve a long term goal:

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear: “All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us. And the task of building a good habit is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.”

Ambition is contagious.
