"There's no courage in naivety... but, to be aware of what it is that your problem is..means that you're perfectly aware of your limitations & how you might be hurt & then to make the decision to move forward into the unknown..anyways...that's..one of the secrets to a good life"
“Life is suffering. Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated. Truth is the handmaiden of love. Dialogue is the pathway to truth. Humility is recognition of personal insufficiency and the willingness to learn. To learn is to die voluntarily and be born again.”
"You must determine where you are going in your life, because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction. Random wandering will not move you forward."
"We focus on the idea of happiness too much and the problem with that is that it takes our focus away from aims that would be more productive. It's much better to aim for meaning than for happiness"
"You should be afraid of taking risks & pursuing something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable"
