Gratitude makes you anti-fragile. If you repeatedly see the glass as half full and give thanks for that volume, you benefit from the lack rather than suffer from it. Every setback should elicit a thank you, because it is in the context of being one of the luckiest organisms ever to have existed on this planet. We wish for more of what we think we lack and strive for it and ambition is good. But to appreciate what you have and our place at the pinnacle of human existence, perhaps the pinnacle of all life in the universe should be our default setting.
Writing is like situps, pushups, squatups, startups, pullups-- do it every day and soon it starts to feel like play. Wait to do it and you'll never get to it.
If you want extra motivation to get fit and strong and motivate your teams to do the same, give my startup Cadoo a try. Ai-verified proof of workout, Socially accountable team building, and Money-motivated loss aversion. Get fit, inspire friends, get paid.
