3 things that you are grateful for:

- For oranges

- For consciousness

-For what I am and what I have

1 thing that you can do better:

- No wasting my energy on things out of my control

Notes:

“Some things are in our control, while others are not. We control our opinion, choice, desire, aversion, and, in a word, everything of our own doing. We don’t control our body, property, reputation, position, and, in a word, everything not of our own doing. Even more, the things in our control are by nature free, unhindered, and unobstructed, while those not in our control are weak, slavish, can be hindered, and are not our own.” — EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 1.1–2

How progress looks like from book Atomic Habits by James Clear:

Chapter 1 summary:

Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Getting 1 percent better every day counts for a lot in the long-run.

Habits are a double-edged sword. They can work for you or against you, which is why understanding the details is essential.

Small changes often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. The most powerful outcomes of any

compounding process are delayed. You need to be patient. An atomic habit is a little habit that is part of a larger system. Just as atoms are the building blocks of molecules, atomic habits are the building blocks of remarkable results.

If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.
