Don't give your inner peace for anything in the world. At all costs, preserve your inner peace. Make peace with yourself, and heaven and earth will make peace with you.

Don't spoil what you have by wanting what you don't have.

Remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for.

When you follow in someone else’s footsteps you are sentenced to the eternal task of trying to catch the setting sun.

You can always talk yourself out of it.
Better timing. Better conditions.
Wait until XYZ settles down.

But look closely at your life right now and ask yourself - is this actually it?

Because for most of us, it is.

This is the moment.

Work with what you've got.

If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, "He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone."

-Epictetus

God has entrusted me with myself.
No man is free who is not master of himself.

A man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things. The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.

-Epictetus

If you can't decide, the answer is no.

-Naval Ravikant

Thoughts are something that people aren't used to controlling. They've learned to control their actions, but they don't know how to control their thoughts. It's easier to force yourself to do something than to think about something specific, right?

Imagine you're walking down the street with a purpose, but then a passerby approaches you, takes you by the hand, and easily leads you wherever he wants, and you obediently and helplessly follow him.

Unrealistic? But this is exactly what happens with your thoughts.

True freedom is having nothing to hide, nothing to prove, and nothing to defend.

-Peter Crone

If you are not sure,
the answer is no.
