To get anywhere in life, you must embrace working hard.

People who are lazy and undisciplined are much more prone to feeling envy.

Life is a game of attention management

He who directs his attention onto worthy pursuits (and sustains it) wins.

He who gets his attention hijacked by trivial pursuits (and forgets himself) loses.

You're unhappy because you do nothing worth being proud of. You haven't done anything hard in months. You haven't made anything. Fought for anything. Dared anything. You coast, consume, complain, and repeat. Then you wonder why life feels empty. Fulfillment comes from building something that outlives your moods.

and the fastest way to turn on neuroplasticity is replacing “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you literally shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving)

Act before it becomes impossible to disentangle one strand of misery from another, or to see how the whole thing started

Learn to imagine more possibilities than you generally consider. Avoid fixating only on what is present. Ponder what is absent.

[aether @bluewdrift]

What you do in private always shows in public. Reading shows in conversations. Your workouts show in your physique. Your diet shows in your energy. Your discipline shows in your confidence. Your focus shows in your results. You are what you cultivate when no one is watching.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

You are your own worst enemy.

You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present.

Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do.

The only way to change is through action and outside pressure.

Every day you face battles—that is the reality for all creatures in their struggle to survive. But the greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end.

[Razvan Fotia @razvanfotia]

The best way to learn how to reach a major goal is simply to be obsessed with it and curious about it.

Curiosity + obsession has always worked for me.

[Kimia Nora @kimianora]

If you have been thinking the same thoughts for ten years, you have carved a neurological groove so deep that your brain defaults to it automatically. You are not thinking. You are being thought. The program is running you.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

The greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end. You must declare unceasing war on yourself.

Everything in life can be taken away from you and generally will be at some point.

Your wealth vanishes, the latest gadgetry suddenly becomes passé, your allies desert you.

But if your mind is armed with the art of war, there is no power that can take that away.

In the middle of a crisis, your mind will find its way to the right solution.

Having superior strategies at your fingertips will give your maneuvers irresistible force.

As Sun-tzu says, “Being unconquerable lies with yourself.

It's crazy how most "life problems" are just 2-10 hours of actual work you keep avoiding. that's it

Underrated life hack: realizing you can just decide, “nope, my past doesn’t get a vote in my future anymore.”

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got: If you want a calmer life, you need to address small problems while they’re still small. The cost of dealing with an issue rarely gets cheaper with time. Procrastination turns uncomfortable things into unavoidable things.
