Reflections | Inspiration

As a consumer of knowledge and self-help content, I frequently feel inspired – but I’ve noticed those flashes of inspiration pass too quickly, so this post is to record those nuggets of wisdom to regularly refer back to for re-inspiration and implementation in my life and mindset.

Life

• An “easy” life does not lead to the “good” life, that would lead to a “mediocre” life which is the past of least resistance with the “herd”. Challenging yourself will lead to the good life. Life is a growth process, overcoming inner demons and personal limitations, leading to becoming more conscious and discovering your truth, passions, and life purpose.
• Internal wealth is a state of feeling happy even when doing nothing and being still.
• Don’t live your life tiptoeing to the grave.
• Work toward mastery of specific and focused goals, versus mediocre abilities in many things.
• “The symbol of effectiveness is the compass – a sense of direction, purpose, vision, perspective, and balance. A well-educated conscience serves as an internal monitoring and guidance system.” -Stephen R. Covey
• “Don’t just go through life, grow through life. Don’t just be good, be good for something and someone. Goodness heightens beauty. Become who you are, who you were meant to be. Seek out knowledge and experience. The more we see, the more we are capable of seeing. The more we do, the more we are capable of doing.” (Bloom, by Kobi Yamada and Kristel Wills)
• Fall in love with life’s potential. Part of the joy is the journey to create the life you desire.
• Aim for progress not perfection.
• Be present, seek peace and purpose in the moment – instead of being anxious for the future.

Productivity

• Do the highest value tasks/projects in the morning.
• Optimize your life.
