You don’t have to believe yet you can do it.

ByLukasFlawed. Perfect. Inspired. Spiritless. Excited. Defeated. Exhilirated. Gloomy.

#290 Your unique contribution
ByLukasWhat do you see that others don’t even notice?
What do you feel that others don’t even seem to care about?
What do you like to do that most others never even entertain?
What do you write about that most others haven’t even considered?

ByLukasIf doing your Tiny Trust Builder feels impossible today, it’s not tiny enough.

#208 How to get out of your self-improvement prison
ByLukasYou feel bad because you don’t write.
And when you write, you feel bad because you’re scared of the inevitable day you stop writing.
That’s how you create a self-improvement prison.
And that prison has only one way out.
Intend to do what’s good for you.
Then realize that even if you don’t live up to that standard all the time, you’re still worthy of self-love and self-trust.
Focus on intention, not outcome.
Focus on cultivating elastic discipline rather than on becoming a habit hardliner.
Focus on the general direction of your life, not a day-by-day judgment of your every action.
Maintain a majority vote for who you want to be.
Realize you’re not going to be perfect today – and being perfect isn’t the goal anyway.
#236 The Myth of Full Engagement
ByLukasWhen I write, I write.
When I practice yoga, I practice yoga.
When I talk with friends, I talk with friends.Or at least, I wish it were like that.
Because you and I both know how distracted the mind can be, my friend.
You don’t even need to meditate to figure that out.
So the mind needs a reminder once in a while.
“What’s truly important right now?”
I’ll be practicing every day.
