    Monday Mark – 60.5 & 61.0

    60.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The hardest part about being surrounded by people who hold you back isn’t what they say to you… it’s the low expectations they have for you. “Not everyone who helps you is your friend. Not everyone who hurts you is your enemy.” – Mike Tyson What low expectations are potentially…

    59.5 – For Last Week’s MM: A tiny piece of advice that changed my life: Stop assuming people know how you feel, tell them instead. Tell them when you’re proud. Tell them when you missed them. Tell them when you’re angry or stressed. When in doubt, just tell them. If being honest about your feelings causes…

    58.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The older I get, the more I realize that growth is not about fixing all of your problems, rather it’s learning which problems aren’t worth fixing. The quality of your life is directly proportional to your tolerance for uncertainty. What problems have you been trying to fix that don’t need…

    57.5 – For Last Week’s MM: If you want to find direction in your life, think less about what you want and more about what you’re willing to give up. The last thing you’re willing to give up, that’s the direction you should go. What’s the last thing in your life you’d be willing to give…

    56.5 – For Last Week’s MM: Love, money and fame don’t change you, they amplify who you already are. The generous get more generous.The insecure get more insecure.The undisciplined fly off the rails. Whatever your dream is, know it won’t fix your life for you. It will only multiply what’s already there. Do you expect your…

    55.5 – For Last Week’s MM: No matter what you do, you will be criticized for it. So the only question that matters is, “What is worth being criticized for?” Then do that. What’s the thing you’re not doing for fear of criticism? Is it worth being criticized for? Go do the thing that’s worth being…

    54.5 – For Last Week’s MM: You’ve survived every single thing you thought you couldn’t handle up until this point. Why would the next one be any different? What’s the hardest thing you’ve already survived? What are you convinced you can’t handle right now? That thing you’re convinced you can’t handle—do something about it this week. Let…

    53.5 – For Last Week’s MM: You can only tell what someone values by what they’re willing to say no to. No’s mean more than yes’s. Saying yes is easy—people say yes to things they don’t care about all the time. Saying no requires you to be willing to lose something. That’s how you know it’s…

    Monday Mark 52.5 & 53.0

    52.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The version of yourself you perform for other people is always less interesting than the one you’re hiding. It just never feels that way from the inside. The parts of yourself you think are “too much” for people are usually the parts they’d actually connect with. And the parts you…

    51.5 – For Last Week’s MM: The smartest people you know aren’t the ones with the best answers. They’re the ones still sitting with questions everyone else gave up on years ago. When did you last sit with a question instead of rushing to answer it? What are you afraid you’d find if you kept asking?…

    Monday Mark – 50.5 & 51.0

    50.5 – For Last Week’s MM: You are always responsible because you are always choosing. In every moment, you are choosing how to respond, how to react, how to see things. Even when you fail to choose, that is itself a choice. Where in your life are you pretending you don’t have a choice? What if…

    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?…
