Everyone operates under the same delusion that others are watching and judging.

Champions don’t train until they get something right, they train until they can’t get it wrong.
The world rewards the reliable more than the erratic genius. Consistency is the most underrated form of exceptionalism.

The hard part isn't knowing what to do, it's actually doing it day after day.

Habits are best built through successive iterations.

Pay attention to your own behavior. What are the predictably dumb things you keep doing? Once you spot them, just stop.
