    Monday Mark 49.5 & 50.0

    49.5 – For Last Week’s MM: Everybody wants a transformation. Nobody wants the hundred boring, thankless days it actually takes to get it. Progress feels like nothing’s happening when you’re mid-journey. You only see how far you’ve come once you stop and look back. What would you be willing to do for a hundred boring days?…

    He Loves Me… He Loves Me Not…

    I am having a difficult time coming to terms with the fact that – at 44 years old, with the handful of failed relationships I left behind because of the exact same answer to this exact same question – I’m actually Googling: “how do you know if someone truly loves you?” I mean… how the…

    Monday Mark 46.5 & 47.0

    46.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The most underrated trait for a happy life: decisiveness. Our intuition is that it’s best to keep our options open. But as long as you try to keep every door open, you’ll never be able to walk through the one that matters. Optimizing your life for optionality creates a false…
