3-2-1: On Success and Failure, Kindness and Mortality, and Taking Action (February 6, 2020) | James Clear

An Indian proverb on kindness and mortality:

“Never postpone a good deed which you can do now, because death does not choose whether you have or haven’t done the things you should have done. Death waits for nobody and nothing. It has neither enemies, nor friends.”

“Today might be the best chance you have to take action.

The longer you wait, the more deeply embedded you get in your current lifestyle.

Your habits solidify. Your beliefs harden. You get comfortable.

It will never be easy, but it may also never be easier than it is right now.”

“Life is too short to not be pursuing the best opportunity you know of.”

“Success is never due to one thing, but failure can be.

Sleeping well won’t make you successful, but not sleeping enough will hold you back. Hard work is rarely enough without good strategy, but even the best strategy is useless without hard work.

Many things are necessary, but not sufficient for success.”
