The 3rd Law – Make It Easy
“Get your reps in”
Study of London cab drivers knowing the roads showed that the hippocampus (spatial memory) decreased when retired. Like weight training
Repeated motions decrease difficulty and become action. Active practice vs. passive learning
Put in your reps is the most critical step. Show up! Make them mean something.

COT:
“What is the key to living such a happy life? You don’t need to follow a blueprint, you just need to live and be happy.”

There is an ultimate plan for everyone out there, but not a single blueprint (or path) that must be followed. Your path is impacted by choices you make, choices others make and by things outside of anyone’s control. So the key to enjoying today is not to put yourself down about yesterday or tomorrow.

COT: Continuation of the forgiveness discussion we’ve had about my loaning money to a neighbor. He paid me back unexpectedly. This brought to my heart that i had not really forgiven him and I needed to. He needed my help, I could help, and I should be thankful for that and have no resentment. Still working on having a very human reaction, but we should aspire to the virtue or true generosity and forgiveness.
