A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is? Mitch: No. What? Curly: This. [He holds up one finger.] Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don’t mean sh*t. Mitch: That’s great, but what’s the “one thing”? Curly: That’s what you’ve got to figure out. Out of the mouth of a fictional character to our ears comes the secret of success. Whether the writers knew it or unwittingly stumbled on it, what they wrote was the absolute truth. The ONE Thing is the best approach to getting what you want.
The ONE Thing
Gary Keller, Jay Papasan
True optimism isn’t toxic, because focusing on the positive does not mean denying the negative. It does not mean we dissociate from our pain, whether it’s physical or emotional, or pretend that things are okay when they aren’t. Instead, it means we look for what’s wonderful anyway. We allow what hurts to hurt while continuing to search for the lesson in it and be grateful for the teaching.
The Well-Lived Life
Gladys McGarey and Mark Hyman
That is the challenge: to notice these subtle details and act instantaneously with power, not simply to try. Do not hold yourself to the habitual old standard of mental effort. Instead of saying he’ll try, a warrior states he’ll do it. His intention is to give his best effort, but he doesn’t put a limit on that effort.
