Highlights from March 18th, 2021.

Speaker 1: you know, five years from the initial moment of inspiration, people will sort of be Speaker 0: back to their old habits because these old habits are really a function of the much larger system. If you really want to change your life, most people not, uh, there's always a few exceptions out there. Most people have to rearrange the habits of their lives because our lives are much more shaped by our habits than our aspirations. And so if you want meaningful long term life change, you have to change your habits. Speaker 1: And generally speaking, the only way you can change your habits is by changing your community to look at Jonathan Heights Rider Speaker 0: and the elephant metaphor that the rider can have
