Nic and Tarina kick off with advice for everyone to not move to Corn (wink, wink) and enjoy all its comforts and community.

And Tarina shares her “more this, less that” list as an alternative to goals for the new year or new year’s resolutions. It surprised Nic that Tarina didn’t have items for his goal and resolution list for the year.

Nic quotes Charlie Tremendous Jones: “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you met and the books you read.”

To invest in yourself requires a commitment to relationships and filling your mind with good information. An investment in yourself is an investment in your growth. To invest in anything means to expect a future return—and as Nic writes in Know This Do That, “reading one hour a day will put you in the top 1% of income earners.”

From Chapter 23, they talk about learning from our pasts but letting go of the hurts, the mistakes, the regrets. This is easy to say and hard to do. It takes both self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others.

Holding on to the past holds us back. Leaving it behind you is a practice—something you have to do every day. And that’s okay. Keep at it and over time you will realize freedom, growth, and new opportunities for a richer life.
