From one piece An Ode to Showing Up 2 beliefs · thegrowtheq.com

Motivation is not a precondition for getting going, because getting going often gives a chance of feeling good.

motivation

Their words

There’s this myth that you need to feel good to get going, that you need to be super inspired and super motivated all the time. But more often than not, in reality, what you need is to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.

Progress comes more from consistency than from intensity.

Their words

People think intensity drives progress, but it’s much more about consistency. It’s not about hitting home runs, but stepping into the arena and putting the ball in play. It’s about being there over and over again.

People are hardwired for the feeling of giving their all to something they care about, and feel it when watching excellence in others.

Their words

We are hardwired for the feeling that accompanies giving our all to something we care about it. We feel it ourselves, and we feel it when we observe excellence in others.

From one piece Stop Trying to Be Balanced and Live Life in Seasons Instead 2 beliefs · thegrowtheq.com

Minimum effective doses for family, craft, fitness and friends let a person focus on one without leaving the others behind.

energy

Their words

I like to think about having minimum effective doses for each of the important parts of my identity: family, craft, fitness, and friends. This means when I’m focused predominantly on one of those things, I still make sure to spend enough time and energy on the others so as not to leave them completely behind.

The highest performers and most satisfied people look unbalanced in any one moment but balanced across a whole life.

Their words

When you look at the highest performers and most satisfied people and zoom in on any one moment of their life, they don’t look very balanced. They are almost always going full steam on one, or maybe two, things. But when you zoom out and look across their entire life, they actually start to appear quite balanced. Their balance is sequential, not simultaneous.

From one piece That You Must Suffer for Greatness is a Dangerous Lie 2 beliefs · thegrowtheq.com

korrents.com
Some pain is legitimate on the way to greatness, but if pain dominates the experience, the approach is wrong.

Their words

Greatness doesn’t mean everything will always be lovely, or that en route to attaining your potential is a whole lot of hand-holding and singing kumbaya. Sometimes there will be legitimate pain. But if everything is always painful, if the pain is the dominant quality of your experience, then you are doing it wrong.

Hustle-culture content wrongly suggests that anyone who is not miserable or near burnout is not working hard enough.

Their words

Hustle-culture grindslop makes you think that if you’re not miserable or bordering on burnout, you’re not working hard enough. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
