🤔 3 THOUGHTS
The things that matter — health, happiness, love, wealth — fail fastest when rushed. A thousand shortcuts leave a thousand tiny wounds, but little progress.
Longevity "hacks" that take time away from learning new skills, exercise, sleep, community engagement (including social meals), or that increase anxiety/stress likely decrease your long-term quality of life. - EC Synkowski
Humans find joy in solving problems. In other words, we find joy in what we choose to suffer for. Our mind narrows on the challenge. We identify room for growth. We plan, educate ourselves, and acquire the skill that increases the power of our mind and self. We see progress as feedback and learn what it means to be fulfilled. - Dan Koe
🦉 SHARED WISDOM
A weekly community survey exploring what matters most. Results & a new question shared in next week's edition.
Last week, 56% of you said that your primary motivation for maintaining a consistent training routine was for physical health & longevity. I was pleasantly surprised to see that 41% of you agreed with me & said their motivation was mental clarity & stress management.
Thanks to everyone who voted!
Here’s this week’s question:
Coming this week, we’ve got some listener questions on Tuesday & a short episode about stress on Friday.
Until then, keep chasing.
