NEVER BE THE FORMER ANYTHING
Don’t over-attach to the past. Learn from it, but never get stuck there. Always be approaching a future that is bigger and different from your past.
MEANS/END
“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” — Marilyn Strathern There are means goals, and ends goals. There is a law in statistics known as Goodhart’s law, named after the economist Charles Goodhart, which proposes that people often focus on the wrong target, mistakenly believing it was the right metric. If you focus on RESULTS, or IDEAL ENDS, then your PROCESS can become flexible and not rigid. As Tony Robbins said, “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.” The bigger and clearer the WHY, the BOLDER the HOW. Don’t get obsessed with specific methods. Stay committed to decisions and be flexible in your approach. What is your goal or DECISION you’ve committed to? What METHOD will get you there fastest? What do you need to focus on THIS WEEK?

Small changes can make a huge impact.

UN-COMMIT Immediately to Everything You’re Not Definite About!!
If you want to get immediate progress in your life, you must get clear on what you want, and say “NO” immediately to everything else. The more “successful” you become the harder this will be, unless you create an environment to shield you from everything distractive to your goals.
Call To Action
When you live solely for the moment, you act on impulse. Your behavior is the product of circumstance rather than conscious choice. As a result, you often make regretful decisions. Conversely, when you live for the past—for your memories—you consider how you want to remember the experience you're having. As a result, you live intentionally in the present.
