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.

“The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.
