The Art of the Start
Download MP3The Big Idea: Success comes from detaching from specific outcomes and mastering the "art of the start" through small, repeatable daily actions.
Key Highlights:
- How focusing on numbers (bank accounts, scales) distracts us from the most important part: the process of living.
- The "Rough Ashlar" approach: starting with the easiest, smallest practical step rather than looking for a magic solution.
- Why you should ignore the "noise" of nuanced online debates and cook a process that works specifically for you.
Mindfulness Minute: Identify one goal (like health or better communication) and find the "baby step" you can commit to doing every single day without fail.
Memorable Quote: "If you can master the art of the start... you have already beaten the game."
