3 Ideas From James Clear

I.

"If you'd like to do something bold with your life, you will have to choose to do something bold on a specific day.

There is no perfect day. There is no right time. For the trajectory to change, there has to be one day when you simply make the choice."

I.

Rabbi, physician, and philosopher Moses Maimonides on thinking clearly:

"Accept the truth from whatever source it comes."

​II.

Writer Ralph Waldo Emerson on making each day a masterpiece:

"Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays."
