You know that you’ve tried to be consistent in the past, but failed. Understanding why that happened, and what you might need to do to avoid failure in the future is what leads to success.

My favorite thing to watch right now is a series on Instagram from a creator named Herman Jagpal. He’s doing one of those challenges in which you trade a paperclip to a house. I’m watching every single video.
