Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/habits/ Quotes to ponder: "I don’t think that habits and rituals are the be-all, end-all of personal development. There are many different ways to grow, and being capable of not just existing, but flourishing, even without rigid structure, I would argue, is an immensely valuable skill that carries over to anything you might do." "Ambition is wonderful: be sure to apply some of it to metrics of success and happiness and fulfillment beyond those that are directly business-related. Grow roundly, not in only one dimension." "You needn’t wait for a milestone to make a positive (or even experimental) change." Learn more about your ad choices.
