📚 Book Summary:

This week's book is "How To Live" by Derek Sivers.

Derek Sivers is a modern-day philosopher known for his clarity, calm logic, and wisdom. How to Live offers answers to the question of how to live a meaningful life. Dive into his work if you're ready to rethink your assumptions and explore new ways of thinking.

One of my favorite takeaways from the book is this:

"We overestimate what we can do in one year. We underestimate what we can do in ten years. If you take up a new hobby at the age of forty, or whatever age you think it's too late, you'll be an expert by the age of sixty."

✅ Actionable advice:

We live in an age of urgency. We chase overnight success. We crave instant results. Yet real growth is a slow burn. It’s easy to feel behind — to believe we’ve missed our window. But there’s wisdom in taking the long view. Stick to your core values, and remember: progress doesn’t follow a clock. What matters is that you keep showing up. Even on the days when it feels slow. Even when no one sees your effort. Ten years from now, you’ll either be glad you started or wish you had.

Have a great week!
