Daily Practicing Quote

On By Harrison DeanIn QuotesLeave a comment

From James Clear:

Two simple rules:

  1. You get better at what you practice.
  2. Everything is practice.

Look around and you may be surprised by what people are “practicing” each day. If you consider each moment a repetition, what are most people training for all day long?

Many people are practicing getting mad on social media. Others are practicing the fine art of noticing how they have been wronged. Still more have mastered the craft of making plans (but never following through).

But, of course, it doesn’t have to be that way.

What are you practicing?

Alex Hormozi posted this and I want to refer to it later, hence I’m copying it below.

Imagine you’re talking to God about the person you want to become…

– You say “I want to be courageous.”
– God replies “Then I will give you monsters to terrify you. That way you can conquer them.”

– You say “I want to be patient.”
– God replies “Then I will make you work harder and longer. That way you can learn to wait.”

– You say “I want to be wise.”
– God replies “Then I will give you failures that will crush your spirit. That way you can learn the value of judgment.”

– You then say… “That sounds like a hard life. Can you give me a good life?”
– God replies “Just like we measure the quality of a blacksmith by the strength of his steel, I measure you by what you are at the end, not the fire and the hammer it took to make you. A good life isn’t an easy life. A good life makes you into a good person. And that, my child, is a hard life.”
