If you're feeling creative, do the errands tomorrow. If you're fit and healthy, take a day to go surfing. When inspiration strikes, write it down. The calendar belongs to everyone else. Their schedule isn't your schedule unless it helps you get where you're going."

we have normalised overconsumption. listening to a podcast while we walk, scrolling reels in the toilet, listening to music while we cook, watching a show on Netflix while we eat. it’s as if there is NO breathing space for your mind. you’re constantly trying to fill the void, the stillness and yet here you’re complaining about feeling groggy and demotivated.

Born to fight

Some people are just born to fight, I think. It's not that they're born brave. It's not that they're born strong. It's just that the universe has decided that this one, this one will have grit and fire and steel in their blood. And it'll be tested, this cosmic mettle of theirs. They'll face trial after trial, be broken and damaged in countless ways.But this one was born to fight. Maybe it's not the life they would have chosen. Maybe they'd love to lay down their arms. But they were born to fight. It's what they know. It's what they do best. It's all they can do..

If you struggle to do it for yourself, then do it for the people who believe in you.

lock in. focus on what matters.

Invest in your intelligence, then use that intelligence to invest in a healthy lifestyle, in your financial freedom, and in lifelong relationships with the right people, that’s where true wealth lies.

I've come to realize that A) If you’re serious all the time, you’ll wear out before the truly serious stuff gets done; and B) if you don’t regularly appreciate the small wins, you will never appreciate the big wins. They’ll all fall through your fingers like sand as you obsess on the next week, the next to-do, the next thing to fix. This makes “success” a Pyrrhic victory at best.

You've been doing it wrong. You weren't supposed to look for perfection within you. You were supposed to embrace the imperfection.

Looks matter. Sit up straight. Get the lab work. Build a health savings. Break the screen addiction. Stop buying useless crap. Look presentable. Take care of your teeth. Build muscle. Learn how to cook. Sweat often. Mind your business. Do hard things.

You can save yourself.

@ebookscafe

You will struggle to reach your goals as long as you are scared of disappearing for a little while in order to rebuild yourself into someone who can actually get things done.

And the troubling part of life is,
You try to understand more than you know.
And you think you know more than there is to be understood.

Reading the summary of a book is like a cab driver driving you to a location you want to reach.

Reading a book is like you driving there yourself.

In both cases, you reach the location.

But when you drive to a place, you also remember the way. You can reach there again without directions.

Perspective on work life balance
@ebookscafe

During certain moments in life, when we must walk alone, we are still accompanied by trees, an overarching sky, and stars as our witnesses. Even in our loneliest times, we are never truly alone, if only we choose to believe it.
