Turned 28 this year, so thought I'd share some of my favorite books, podcasts, articles & threads I came across in the past year.
Awareness - Anthony de Mello
"You cannot change by an effort of the will; you cannot change through ideals; you cannot change through building up new habits. Your behavior may change, but you don’t. You only change through awareness and understanding." https://www.amazon.com/Awareness-Opportunities-Reality-Anthony-Mello/dp/0385249373

"I’ve always found it’s better to think about what I want my ordinary life to look like most of the time. Then I try to make decisions based on the simple metric of whether they allow for more or less of that right now.” https://humanparts.medium.com/you-could-have-today-instead-you-choose-tomorrow-4cb5ac429a5a
