Some
of my favorite quotes from Kaplan’s piece:
·
“When I want to
set a goal and commit to an action every day, I listen to my mind try to
sabotage me with my observant mind and then proceed as planned.”
·
“Maybe you want to run five miles to
get fit. The first day you are ready to run, your mind says you are too tired.
When I started running 4 miles a day, my mind would often urge me to stop and
walk. I knew that if I ever stopped, I would always stop. The mind might fight
success because it feels we are unworthy as the subconscious bubbles up."
·
“I was
definitely tired at 80 [sets of wood stairs], but I was trying to show my mind,
it didn’t know what it was talking about.”
·
“Trying to
clean my diet with healthier foods is a real mind test.”
·
“After a while
the mind becomes a friend. It helped me lose 45 pounds and protested when I
wanted to eat a bad food.”
·
“The mind and will can vie for superiority until you have
disciplined your mind to take a back seat.” (that’s actually his opening line)
