Cynics aren't smarter than dreamers. They just bought protection against looking stupid and paid for it with their entire capacity to be surprised. Bad trade.

You can be normal, or you can be great.

You cannot be both.

A wise mentor once told me: “Before you play the game, study the winners. If you don’t want their life, don’t play their game.”

What is your definition of retirement?

"Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow. When today is complete, in and of itself, you’re retired."

Assume that all your issues are skill issues:

The talent you don't have is the patience you never nurtured.

The family you don't have is the love you never bothered giving.

The friend you don't have is the friend you were not.

The wealth you don't have is the financial gaps you never bothered to bridge.

The mental clarity you don't have is the self-reflection you thought you didn't need.

The health you don't have is the habits you were afraid to change.

The serendipity you don't have is the long-term integrity you didn't value.

The home you don't have is the commitment you were scared of.

The interesting conversation you don't have is the openness you never showed.

The intelligence you don't have is the difficult problems you were afraid of tackling.

The luck you don't have is the arrogance you never noticed.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Overthinking is the sign that you need to cultivate more courage to act.

You need to put yourself in physical situations where you won't have a choice but stay focused and get things done.

There is no growth without skin in the game, and you can waste so much time being misled by a timid mind.

That's why moving abroad and being fully accountable for your fate is transformative.

That's why having kids who solely depend on you is transformative.

That's why overcoming life-threatening situations is transformative.

That's why taking big financial risks with your own money is transformative.

That's why struggling alone in a society that only rewards people who are already winning is transformative.

Old people who didn't grow much were not necessarily stupid, they were just the people who were afraid: of wasting time, of losing freedom, of getting hurt, of losing money, of falling behind.

Lifetime observation: the fancier the restaurant, the fewer the smiles—and even fewer the laughs.

Most complexity is unnecessary, but we manage it instead of removing it because deletion requires courage that addition doesn't.

There is a huge difference between taking a big initial position versus letting a position get big. Few understand this.

Your brain is a lawyer, not a judge—it argues for what you already believe, not what’s true.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Tony Robbins believes that, in a lowered emotional state, we only see the problems, not solutions.

Let’s say you wake up feeling tired and overwhelmed. You sit down to brainstorm strategies to solve your issues, but it comes to naught, and you feel even worse afterward. This is because you started in a negative state, then attempted strategy but didn’t succeed (due to tunnel vision on the problems), and then likely told yourself self-defeating stories (e.g., “I always do this. Why am I so wound up I can’t even think straight?”).

To fix this, he encourages you to “prime” your state first. The biochemistry will help you proactively tell yourself an enabling story. Only then do you think on strategy, as you’ll see the options instead of dead ends.

“Priming” my state is often as simple as doing 5 to 10 push-ups or getting 20 minutes of sun exposure. I often ask myself, “Is this really a problem I need to think my way out of? Or is it possible I just need to fix my biochemistry?”

I’ve wasted a lot of time journaling on “problems” when I just needed to eat breakfast sooner, do 10 push-ups, or get an extra hour of sleep.

Sometimes, you think you have to figure out your life’s purpose, but you really just need some macadamia nuts and a cold fucking shower.

my father always told me: "if you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company. sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, likeminded people will find you themselves." and only recently have I realized that this principle works everywhere.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

It's impossible to reach the best version of yourself as long as you are scared of exploring alone who you could be. You might waste a few years in the eyes of society, but at least, you won't waste decades living anxiously, knowing deep down that you are not who you want to be.
