3 things that you are grateful for:
- For family and friends
- For this pale blue dot
- For the ability to observe and wonder
1 thing that you can do better:
- Rest
Notes:
You deserve and get only what you do with what was given to you.
Your position in this vastness space should give you more humility
Your problems and goals pales in comparison whit what is
Your problems and goals pales in comparison with what is
If you want to hurt your brain just look up and understand that that will go on forever, with and without you.
Less ego, more growth.
Beautiful words by Carl Sagan:
Having an accountability partner (next chapter Atomic Habits):
The inversion of the 4th Law of Behavior Change is make it unsatisfying.
We are less likely to repeat a bad habit if it is painful or unsatisfying.
An accountability partner can create an immediate cost to inaction. We care deeply about what others think of us, and we do not want others to have a lesser opinion of us.
A habit contract can be used to add a social cost to any behavior. It makes the costs of violating your promises public and painful.
Knowing that someone else is watching you can be a powerful motivator.
