The Best Minute: Changing strategies, controlling your future, and getting what you want
1 IDEA FROM ME
Strategies that you successfully used in the past will eventually reach their limit. To continue to improve, you must be willing to adapt.
Social media algorithms change all the time
The exercise routine must become more intense or change altogether to accomplish the same results
What helped you lose 40 pounds might be different than what helps keep the weight off permanently
How you taught one group of students effectively is different than what the next group might need
Often, “being stuck in the past” happens because we experienced success doing things a certain way and don’t want to change what we did going forward, even though the world has changed.
Don’t let your previous success keep you from experiencing success again in the future.
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I. F. M. Alexander on what controls your future:
“People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.”

II. Rudyard Kipling on why we don’t get what we want:
“If you don’t get what you want, it’s a sign either that you did not seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price.”
1 INTERESTING FACT
There’s virtually no limit to what your brain can remember.
It might seem strange given how many things seemingly go in one ear and out the other, but the brain’s storage capacity is actually pretty astounding. In fact, it can store about 2.5 petabytes of data. That’s the same thing as 2,500,000 gigabytes. If only there was a way to store all the pictures and videos on your phone in your brain…
