Everything gets filtered through that lens when it comes to everything from food to people to business decisions. Will this nourish me or will this deplete me? And if it's going to deplete me, what's the payoff? Is it worth the depletion for a long-term payoff? A book is very depleting. I've written five books, four bestsellers.

And if it's going to deplete me, what's the payoff? Is it worth the depletion for a long-term payoff? A book is very depleting. I've written five books, four bestsellers.

But when you get the messages from people, not even the revenue or the royalties or the doors it opens, it's the messages from people going, oh my God, I needed that. This book found me exactly where I was at. That's worth the depletion on the front end and a lot of work that goes in on the front end. And I think when we're talking about habits,

So regardless of what you're working towards, ask yourself, is what I'm doing today going to help me get to where I want to get to? And it's interesting. I put this up on my Instagram two weeks ago, maybe a week and a half ago when I was studying to become a primary school teacher. I studied in St. Mary's University in London.

And I asked my math professor, because math was my weakest subject as a student. And ironically, I was a really good math teacher because I was so bad.

And I asked my math professor, because math was my weakest subject as a student. And ironically, I was a really good math teacher because I was so bad.

I understood what it was like to be so bad that I was actually quite a good teacher in that subject. It's so true. Like, you know, when something comes natural to you, you can't bring yourself to a point like, why don't you get this? It's like, no, I get this because I was you.

I didn't understand compound fractions either. But I remember asking my math professor, the question, I was like, okay, what's the best math I need to learn? Which was a very loaded question to begin with. And he gave me a very philosophical answer that I never forgot and didn't quite understand it at the time.

And he said, the best math you'll ever learn is calculating the current cost of your future decisions and what you're doing today in terms of what's leading to your future. And that's something I still do regularly in terms of my workouts and The content I create, the people I speak to, the programs I do. What am I doing today that's going to impact the future?

And sometimes it's going to be positive. Sometimes it'll be negative. Sometimes it'll be neutral. But having a framework or a filtering process is really important for your habits because going harder and faster in the wrong direction just gets you to the wrong place quicker. So you can form the wrong habits. Not all habits are good.

There's a famous line by Seneca that the chains of habits are too loose to be felt until they're too strong to be broken. And that's very, very true. And that goes for alcohol. That goes for spending too much time on Netflix. You can have very bad habits too. So asking yourself that framework question in the beginning, who do I want to be or what do I want to be or where do I want to go?

So asking yourself that framework question in the beginning, who do I want to be or what do I want to be or where do I want to go?

Who do I have to become to be there or to get there? And then what are the habits that underpin that? What are the things that a lean person would do, a rich person would do, a wealthy person would do, a successful person would do? What are they doing? And then just copying that.
