Quotes:

“You need a goal, and you need that vision. But at the same time, you need to develop those habits that will allow you to reach that goal. So I just consistently get those habits each and every day. And again, it kind of aligns me to the point where I need to be when it comes down to it.” – Phil Daru

“I need a challenge, which every person should ultimately strive for. Challenge every day. If you're not doing that, you're living a vicarious life, and honestly, you're not living to your true potential.” – Phil Daru

“Strength comes from your ability to manage pain. So at the end of the day, I will have to endure some pain to get stronger and adapt. – Phil Daru

Takeaways:

You must constantly collect experiences because this is where you can find who you are, your purpose, and your goal. And if you are going after something, happiness will come.

Be productive and try to learn something new every day. Instead of listening to music, listen to audiobooks or podcasts. Use your free time for self-development. Doing so will boost your level as a person and help you tackle different challenges in life.
