"control what you can control" will always be the greatest life advice #Undefeated

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

Do what you enjoy and be a good person. It’s not that hard, most people won’t notice and that means you’re doing it right.

[Ken Rooney @nethrooney]

Don't go into job interviews with a script. "I am have a strong work ethic, can work independently and in a team, blah, blah, blah". Be ready to give honest and genuine answers that tell your story.

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

Live in the present moment. That is, don't obsess over what has happened in the past or lose yourself in visions of the future. Focus on what is right here, right in front of you, today. Make the most of it, and enjoy yourself.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

Be strict with yourself and tolerant of others. Your standards are for you.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

"Is this in my control?" is one of my favorite questions to ask myself. More recently, "Does this actually matter?" has been a favorite. Life is busy and there is no time to waste on nonsense.

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

7 questions that can change your life:

1. Is this in my control?
2. What am I missing by choosing to worry or be afraid?
3. Am I doing my job?
4. Who is this for?

6. What does my ideal day look like?
7. Who do I spend time with?

@StoicShares @MindChargerX Be grateful but also... complacency is the enemy of success.

[Ken Rooney @nethrooney]

@ChrisWillx But what if the thing I wanted to do was Tweet about the thing? Then Tweeting the thing is in fact doing the thing.

[Ken Rooney @nethrooney]

"In omnibus excelsior" is a phrase I was taught in 9th grade.

It essentially means striving for excellence or aiming higher in all aspects or endeavors. It is a commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in all areas of life or work.

It lives in my head rent free.

[Ken Rooney @nethrooney]

Be grateful, but if you want more, you cannot allow yourself to be complacent.

"Complacency is the enemy of success. We cannot be content with what we have if we want to achieve greatness"

Be a little bit better. Every. Single. Day.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The answer is you.

Self-experimentation
Self-education
Self-reflection
Self-mastery
Self-reliance
Self-sustenance
Self-development

If you can learn, test, pursue, overcome, persist, iterate, and take absolute responsibility for the outcome of your life – you become free.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity.

If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.

If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
