The more we try to stay comfortable today, the more uncomfortable we’ll be tomorrow. There really is no destination, there is only exploring, exploring and exploring.

In this life, you’ll sometimes have to do things you don’t want to, with people you don’t like, and in places you don’t care for. People will leave your life as quickly and easily as they come into it. You’ll lose money, things will break, and your dog will die.
But you’ll get through it all, the good and the bad, just like you did in the past.
You’ll stand there like the champion you are because they’re all just yet another passing scene in the movie that is your life’s story.

Everyone has their problems, and life isn’t always perfect. It never will be. It wasn’t 2,400 years ago, when Socrates was around, and it certainly isn’t today.
But if we’re being brutally honest with ourselves, we’ll realize that our own problems are pretty insignificant compared to the rest of the world’s. Really. Think about it.

You can avoid those dirty dishes in the sink for days. You’ll use every plate, cup, and piece of silverware in the house and then you start getting creative until you’re eating cereal out of a handy Tupperware container using a wooden baking spoon. Holy crap, a life hack, take a picture and get it on your Pinterest page!

You see, our thoughts are so powerful that they are constantly pushing you toward your goals, even when you don’t realize what those goals actually are! Your brain is wired to win.

You were convinced you weren’t worthy of a loving relationship, so you systematically set out to prove it and you succeeded. Congratulations!

Most of the time, the task we’re actually facing is a lot simpler than we think it is. The problem is, we usually don’t take the time to really look at it.

Is exercising 30 minutes a day really as impossible as your mind has built it up to be? Sure, you’re going to get a little sweaty and tired but you can throw on your favorite music to help the time go by faster. And, even though it might start out painfully, you’ll eventually get used to that and grow stronger.

Use this book up, trawl through the words for what you need to make the difference in your life until its' pages are tired and weary from your appetite for change.

In fact, stoic philosophers like Aurelius believed that outside events hold no power over us at all. We create our own reality with our minds.
“Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.”

The person who views success as if it were just around the corner will not only work his butt off to achieve it but be energized and alive to it and all the while acting on that fundamental view of success.

It’s hard to focus on your internal worrying and naysaying when you’re busy getting things done.

We want to be driven. We think a more productive mood will chauffeur us through life, a confident mood will make things easier or more do-able. But if you want to get to where you’re going, you’ll have to take the wheel.

When you’re not sure if you’re following the right path, when you’ve been knocked down a few too many times, it’s completely fine to get discouraged, hell; even defeated. What’s not ok is to stop.

Stop doing all that shit you know you shouldn’t be doing and start doing all the shit you know you should be doing.

Life doesn’t work like that. There is no perfect mood. And while you’re waiting on it to improve and miraculously make your life better eh, guess what? Your life isn’t getting any better!

Our biggest successes are born out of discomfort, uncertainty, and risk.

Вы были убеждены, что не заслуживаете любви, и систематически пытались это доказать. Что ж, вы преуспели. Поздравляю!
