1. Stress + Rest = Growth:
Too much of former not enough of latter you get illness, injury, burnout.
Too much of latter not enough of former you get complacency, boredom, stagnation.
This equation applies to your bench-press, career, relationships, even entire organizations.

2. Focus On Process, Not Results:
Pick a goal you think striving for will be fulfilling.
Outline the steps to move toward the goal.
Largely forget about the goal & focus on nailing steps instead.
(This keeps you in the present & improves chances of success & mental health.)

3. Practice Humility:
Humility is a prerequisite growth.
Once you think you know everything you cease to keep knowing.
Once you think you're great you cease to keep getting better.
But there is always more to know and always space to get better.

4. Build Tribe:
The people with whom you surround yourself shape you. We are all mirrors reflecting onto one another. Ancient wisdom traditions point toward this. Latest research points toward this.
We think too much about individuals, not enough about communities.

5. Take Small, Consistent Steps To Achieve Big Gains:
Sustainable peak performance isn’t about being consistently great. It’s about being great at being consistent.
Show up, even—and perhaps especially—when you don’t want to.

6. Be a Minimalist To Be a Maximalist:
Forget about "balance."
Strive for self-awareness instead.
It's the ability to know your core values and evaluate the trade-offs inherent to pursuing them. This is what makes for sustainable success and fulfillment.

7. Make Hard Things Easier:
Don't rely on willpower if you don't need to.
Design your environment. Manage your time and energy.

8. Remember to Experience Joy:
This sounds self-evident, but it's not. The risk of being super focused on progress and growth is that you get so caught up in where you are going you forget to relish moments along the way.
No Zen on mountain tops. Only Zen you bring up there.
