KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The world is filled with infinite possibilities, and yet we as creatures are finite. The only way to make the best of our time is to come to the realisation that we are going to miss out on much the world has to offer.
• Many think that pushing for more gets you further, and that can be meaningful, so long as we temper our ambitions to realise that not every opportunity can be taken.
• You should make decisions as part of a practice, and see it as something you should get better at. If you're stuck, then look for some decision to make that makes the process irreversible, and make it!
• Habits we implement for our own self care must be conceptualised as such. If we become too focussed on the practice itself, instead of what we are trying to achieve with it, then we become far too future-focussed, which is detrimental.

BEST MOMENTS

'We swim in infinity pools of possibilities'

'That's a recipe for being more busy, more stressed and less focussed'

'You can build this muscle'

'I 'm more interested in the achievement of the habit, than what the habit is trying to provide'
