If you try to get 1% better each day at your health, at your relationships and the way you treat people, at your creativity, and at turning despair into gratitude, then that 1% compounds into an amazing person. Do that 1%. Take one action. Even if the actions is for one minute. The 1/1/1 strategy.

Don't time travel into the past, roaming through the nuances as if they can change. Don't bookmark pages you've already read.
James Altucher
Nobody can tell you what to do. No matter what they pay you. No matter what obligations you feel you owe them. Every second defines you. Be who you are, not who anyone else is, or who anyone else wants you to be.
James Altucher
Don't regret your mistakes. You'll always make mistakes. The better you are, the less mistakes you make. The only way to get better is to thoroughly analyze your mistakes.
James Altucher

Purpose is a man-made fiction. Nobody on their deathbed gets a plaque that says he focused on only one thing for his entire life! Those are counterfeit thoughts in a counterfeit society.
James Altucher
Most people are not good people. In business, in art, in almost every 'world' I've been in, most people I've meet are pretty gray to black. It takes practice to be the person who is a source of compassion and honesty.
