In Shane Parrish’s “What I’m Thinking About” section of his weekly Brain Food email, he said this:
We’ve all spent time with someone who talks about all of these amazing things they plan to do. And yet they never seem to do them. They aren’t lying to you, they’re lying to themselves.
Don’t speak about what you’ve done in the past.Don’t speak about what you’re going to do in the future.
Only speak about what you’re in the process of doing now.
People in my life are only interested in what I’m doing now. It’s real. That makes sense.
