[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

You don't build psychological resilience by feeling good all the time. You build psychological resilience by getting better at feeling bad.

[Sharran Srivatsaa @sharran]

I’m 46. Trust me on this: To do great things, you must do fewer things. Mastery comes from singularity of focus.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Being cringe is the tax you pay when you start to prove to the world that you care more about what you want than how you look.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Major cheat code for life: Always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy. It promotes structure. It carries you through the lows. Life hack.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Do hard shit. Not because it’s fun. But because the win actually means something. You bled for it. You broke for it. You fucking earned it. Easy wins are forgettable. Hard ones change you. That’s the point.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I’m convinced that the key to life is having low expectations and high standards. Low expectations for things outside your control. High standards for things within it. The recipe for a good life.

[CooperBaggs 💰🍞 @edgaralandough]

One of the fastest ways to change your life is to increase the speed at which you resolve tension.

Return the call. Send the email. Have the conversation. Resolve faster. Watch your life speed up.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

The more you wait, the harder it gets. The more you act, the easier it feels.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

If you want to win long-term, you can't care about rejection, judgment, or failure. At all.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

You're allowed to change your mind. New data = New decisions.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

It’s not that elite runners don’t feel pain and discomfort during their hard workouts, it’s just that they react differently.

They don't freak out, see it as an enemy to combat. They navigate through it.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

Don't give a fuck about what anybody thinks about you. They don't know who you are inside.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

The American Dream is not big houses and cars. The American Dream is waking up every day with a lack of anxiety in your chest.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

Want to prove something? Prove that you are enjoying the process of figuring yourself out and chasing your current ambitions and curiosities.

[Gerry van der Walt @gerryvanderwalt]

@CanHCZA Can you confirm your Pretoria office will be closed tomorrow?

Had an appointment for biometrics and can’t reschedule on your online system?

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

If you can give without expectation, you've got everything to gain.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

Working hard is a hell of lot easier when u enjoy it

[Jil Theo @theo_jil]

I respect a person over 40 who decided their story wasn't finished yet.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

30-50 years old? Many of you need a reminder: you have time.
