Friday’s Findings: 2.22.19

1. Inspiring Person…
Click here for a cool instagram post. Wow! I love watching human beings do things that I might have thought impossible. This came to me in Tim Ferris’ 5-bullet Friday weekly email (loaded with good stuff and partly what inspired these Friday Findings).

2. Recommended Book…
Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear Habits have a profound effect on the quality of our lives. Change your habits, and your life changes. This book is the best I’ve read on creating the habits we need… and replacing the bad ones we don’t. It’s an easy read and will give you tools and strategies that you can implement the day you read it. I listened to the audible version, but bought the book also to easily refer back to it.

3. Great Quote…
“A mind, once stretched by a new idea, can never return to its original dimensions.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson (I’ve also seen Oliver Wendell Holmes credited for it.) I have loved this quote for over three decades and refer to it often. Once you see something, you can’t un-see it. Your brain expands, and your belief system gets changed forever. This is why it is so important to get around bigger thinkers and doers than yourself. They expand your thinking and open your mind to ideas and possibilities you didn’t know existed. This is also why I love biographies of super achievers and world changers. You realize that most of them started out like you and me, but acted and/or thought differently. Helps you realize… if they can do it… I can too.
