We don’t need anyone to appreciate us, to recognize us.

We do good because we are good, and everything else is extra.

Do you know what the source of conflict in most relationships are? Having opinions about things that you just don’t need to have opinions about.

Think about it. Whether it’s with your spouse, your parents, your kids… how many fights have come from having an opinion about something that doesn’t affect you at all?

Did you need to have an opinion on the way they do their hair? And so what if they like music that sounds weird to you? Their friends are their friends…what does it matter what you think of them?

Marcus Aurelius talked about this. “Things are not asking to be judged by you,” he writes in his Meditations. “Remember, you always have the power to have no opinion.”

Most things in life are better off without your judgment hovering over them. If you want to improve the relationships in your life, there’s one simple thing you can do: try having fewer opinions.

If you don't curate the people in your life, those who influence you are there by chance and not a choice.

If you aren't intentional about the information you consume, noise tricks you into thinking it's a signal.

Raise the bar. Change the result.

7 questions to ask every day:

1. Is this in my control?
2. Is this necessary?
3. What's the worst case? Am I prepared?
4. Where can I do better?
5. What habit bonfires am I fueling?
6. How can I make the best of this?
7. (When people irritate you) When have I acted like that?

A weak mind must be constantly entertained and stimulated. A strong mind can occupy itself and, more important, be still and vigilant in moments that demand it.

Those who have subdued their ego understand that it doesn’t degrade you when others treat you poorly; it degrades them.

An apology is undone when it comes with an excuse.

A compliment is negated when it comes with an ask.
