Lunch With Cancer Patients Sparked A Gratitude Shift
- At lunch Ed told a friend he was grateful for nothing, then met cancer patients whose warmth shamed him into gratitude.
- That moment illustrated how external perspective can reveal overlooked reasons for gratitude.
Use Small Wins To Raise Standards
- Do reward yourself with small wins to maintain momentum and dopamine for future achievement.
- Ed Mylett links daily standards like one more minute on the treadmill or one more call to sustain progress and raise yearly standards.
