Episode 3862: Jay Harrington challenges the traditional notion of New Year’s resolutions, urging us to trade empty goal-setting for courageous, imperfect action. Drawing lessons from the bumpy launch of Warby Parker, he reminds us that discomfort is the true price of growth, and the only way forward is to just start. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.lifeandwhim.com/first-moments-blog/stop-making-resolutions-just-start Quotes to ponder: "Achievement requires discomfort, but we’re conditioned to avoid discomfort." "The truth is, most of us understand that we have to grind for what we want, but rarely are we willing to pay the price." "There will never be a perfect time to start."
