You defend your routine passionately when anyone suggests changing theirs.
Your to-do list is full of upkeep and empty of ambition — and you know the difference.

One week of 'grateful and hungry'

Each morning: one sentence of thanks. Each evening: one sentence of evidence you moved toward more.
By day seven you'll feel the line between gratefulness and complacency in your body — that's what There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency trains you to see.

The plateau in Garner isn't a failure. It's a platform — the question is only what you build on it.
