Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the key to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.

Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.

"I have learned that whenever I think "I don't have enough time to do that" what I usually mean is "I don't have enough energy" or "I am not actually interested in doing this."

What I need to do a better job of is not managing my time, but rather caring for myself and identifying my true interests. When I am well rested and working on something I am genuinely excited about, finding time is rarely a problem."

Investor Warren Buffett on holding your temper:

"My good friend and hero, Tom Murphy, had an incredible generosity of spirit. He would do five things for you without thinking about whether you did something for him. After he was done with those five things, he'd be thinking about how to do the sixth. He was also an enormously able person in business and was kind of effortless about it. He didn't have to shout or scream or anything like that. He did everything in a very relaxed manner.

Forty years ago, Tom gave me one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received. He said, "Warren, you can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow." It's such an easy way of putting it. You haven't missed the opportunity. Just forget about it for a day. If you feel the same way tomorrow, tell them then—but don't spout off in a moment of anger."

The quickest way to gauge the quality of your relationships is to make a positive change.
The people who are with you for the right reasons will behave the same but the people with you for the wrong reasons will quickly make themselves known.

What does it actually mean to be aggressive?

It means you show up every time you are meant to show up even if you’re tired.

It means you produce quality work. Quality work that matters.

It means you don’t just produce quality work once but multiple times.

It means you’re consistent with producing quality work multiple times. So you consistently produce quality work.

It means you also take a break when you need to, to avoid burnout and to always get back to work once you’re refreshed.

It means doing it and keeping at it. You don’t give up. You don’t abandon your newsletter after four issues or 40 issues, that’s not how you get your desired subscriber base.

This is the truth: there are many things we cannot change or even influence.
It sucks to be powerless.
But then, there are things we can change and influence.
They may seem inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but they are not.
They are important too and most importantly,
they matter because you can actually do something about them aside from the regular lament and concern.
You can take action that matters. And because of this possibility to effect change, to do big things in small ways, those little concerns matter.

Throwing everyone together, online, 24/7, and giving them information and access to each other directly, unfiltered, was bound to have a jarring impact. It’s become clear that no one – not politicians, not the smartest person you know – has all The Answers, and we’re learning how to live in a world where that’s evident.

"When you tolerate an error, you rob yourself of learning.

When you ruminate on an error, you rob yourself of happiness.

Notice it, improve it, and move on from it."

I was reviewing some old notes to myself recently and I found this one:

"You just need to have the courage to eliminate everything that doesn't directly feed what you really want."
