“Who you share your life with is one of your most important decisions, influencing your career success and well-being. People are not always who they appear on the surface. Think slow (not fast) when deciding who to take on the journey.”
- Decide Who to Take On the Journey
“Time is the most valuable resource in life. Ideally, you want a venture where you control your time, product, and creative spirit. Target a path (or one of your paths) and venture within your control. Letting others decide your work and freedom of expression will only disrupt your tranquility and constrain your freedom. Having an income-generating venture will give you options and the power to influence outcomes to your advantage.”
- Target a Venture You Control: Be An Owner
“The constant appetite for wanting more and something new is a life of unhappiness. Once you acquire what you desire, you return to the dissatisfied state. Your work life may not be ideal right now, but be grateful you have a job and source of income. Your body may not be exactly what you desire, but you are alive. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Experience peace and happiness by learning to want what you already have.”

“Your vision is only actionable if you say it out loud. If you keep it to yourself, it will remain a figment of your imagination.”
“Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less.”
- Discipline is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control by Ryan Holiday
“So our first step in improving our outcomes is to train ourselves to identify the moments when judgment is called for in the first place, and pause to create space to think clearly. This training takes a lot of time and effort, because it involves counterbalancing our hardwired biological defaults over many centuries. But mastery over the ordinary moments that make the future easier and harder is not only possible, it’s the critical ingredient to success and achieving your long-term goals.”
- Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results by Shane Parrish
“The cause of suffering is desire. In other words, the cause of suffering is preference, deciding how you want things to be and getting upset when they’re not that way. Not surprisingly, it turns out Buddha was right. Events don’t cause mental and emotional suffering - you cause yourself mental and emotional suffering about the events.”
- Living Untethered: Beyond the Human Predicament by Michael A. Singer
