The weekly perspective
One question to ask yourself
What do my actions say about my character?
Actions are character. Yours, theirs. Words are not. I wonder how much time you've wasted on people based not their words, not their actions. I wonder too, what a person would say about your character, based on your actions over the past 7 days...?
Something to consider
Our lives are measured in adventures, not years
Routine will shorten your life - when every single day is almost exactly the same, by the end of your life, you'd have only lived just one day. Throughout our life, we retain only a snapshot of what we've lived - the highlights. We live only so far as our stories... Novelty and emotional intensity work together to create lasting memories. Emotionally charged experiences lead to richer encoding, such that living a dull life shortens your life... This doesn't mean ditch your routine and supportive life, but I do wonder, what small moments of adventure you can bring into your day?
One thing I'd tell my younger self.
Solving the problem means moving ahead & confronting new even scarier problems - Seth Godin
It might be easier to stay where we are, marinating in our stuck. It''s 7am and I've already had this conversation twice with people whose fear of change means they're choosing to stay where they are. It's a universal challenge with 2 outcomes - stay where you are, or feel the fear and take action anyway.
One thing to try this week
Break your routine
Add some adventure, an emotionally charged experience. Break out of your routine in any way that's accessible for you. Expand your core memories. Lengthen your life (relatively speaking)

One more thing...
Please share your favourite stuff.
Thank you all for continuing to share your favourite Monday email quotes. I see them all. I know how much I love seeing impactful quotes from strangers, so it means a lot that you allow me to hopefully be that person for someone else. f there's something you really relate to or know someone who'd benefit from something in this email, please share it and pay it forward. Words are magical, and if I've learned anything from writing these emails to you for years, you never know when someone needs to hear the exact thing you've got to say.
