The Practice

15 Weeks

One week. One action. One reflection. Start when you're ready. Finish each week's action before moving on. Completion matters more than speed.

The difference between the negligent and the prudent is not intelligence. It is follow-through.

Rung One—

Stability

The ability to endure a disruption without panic, without rashness, without shortcuts.
