I’ve never regretted exercising — something to remember when I want to skip.

When you get an assignment, immediately work on it for 30 minutes: (A) you’ll get a sense for how long it should take and (B) you can ask questions while the topic is still on the assignors mind.

Your eye can only see when your sight is unobstructed.

Focusing on your discomfort either (a) resolves the discomfort or (b) points out an action you can take to resolve it.

Either one is better than avoiding discomfort.

If it’s not destructive to you or others, there’s all the reason to act as if. Acting as if you’re confident, as if you’re capable, as if you’re calm, is helpful, even if you don’t feel like it’s true. We judge our thoughts too much, and value our actions too little.

Pay attention to what you pay attention to.

Pain is natural. Suffering is man-made.
