“A question is an opportunity to tell them what you want them to hear, not an opportunity to answer their question.”
Hope is not a strategy.
Act first, then obtain confidence. The action of going to the gym brings with it the discipline of going to the gym.
We’re usually more disappointed by the things we didn’t do than by the things we did do.
Trying to “become” happy is like trying to “become” angry. They’re transient.
Don’t think about washing today’s dishes, yesterday’s dishes and tomorrow’s dishes. Would we ever get anything done if we thought about all the dishes we’d need to wash across our life? We haven’t even used them yet. Don’t worry too much about the future or dwell too long on the past.
Progress not perfection.
Satisfaction is a death blow.
Speak to yourself like a gentle grandma, instead of like an asshole.
We tell ourselves about 2000 stories a day.
