Challenge yourself to do something out of your normal routine. What is one thing you can do this week that is different than what you do on a normal week?

"Ask yourself this question three times and try to refine and improve your answer each time: What do I really want?" -@JamesClear

"Read, but don't just read. Read the best book you can find. Write, but don't just write. Write the best idea you can conceive." -@JamesClear

"You can't change your past, but you can reframe it. Find the lesson in it. Find the opportunity in it. Pull the teachable moment out of it and share with others. You can't choose your history, but you can choose the story you tell about it." -@JamesClear

"What conversation will you be proud of yourself for having even if it doesn't end with the outcome you want? Go have that conversation." -@JamesClear

You're more likely to unlock a big leap in performance by trying differently than by trying harder. You might be able to work 10% harder, but a different approach might work 10x better. Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of attack. Persistence is not just
