Stop faking who you are. Every time you edit yourself to be liked, you build relationships that will demand constant upkeep. Be honest. Let people self-select. The right ones stay. The rest? Good fucking riddance.

It’s easy to want the benefits of something. But if you don’t also want the costs, then you never really wanted it at all.

The people who win aren’t the smartest or the fastest. They’re just the ones who kept doing the boring shit long enough until it started working.

Friendly reminder: You don’t need to have an opinion on everything… And, if you’re being honest, you’ll realize that you shouldn’t.

Most people stop listening to new music at age 33

A 2015 Spotify study found that overall listening time doesn’t drop as we age — we simply replace current music trends with replaying what we already know

Don't worry about being the most interesting person in the room, just try to be the most interested person in the room.

The interested person asks about others and leaves a good impression because people like talking about themselves. The interested person is genuinely curious about someone's craft and learns a lot about how things work. The interested person engages with more people and—because opportunities come through people—is more likely to catch a lucky break.

In general, the interested person learns more and tends to be well-liked. And in the long run, it's hard to keep down someone who is well-learned and well-liked.

You don’t need to be liked by everyone. You need to stop feeling ashamed when you're not.

You don’t find yourself. You build yourself. And your actions are both the hammer and nails.

The obvious way to buy back your time is to pay someone to do something for you. Pay the mechanic to change your oil or a dry cleaner to press your suit.

The less obvious way to buy back your time is to say no. Passing on a promotion might "buy" you more time with family. Declining the dinner invite might "pay" for the time you need to exercise. We buy back our time not only with the money we spend, but also with the opportunities we decline.

The more clearly you know how you want to spend your days, the easier it becomes to say no to the requests that steal your hours.

@xxxo_layla Yah! I'm jealous. Even if they're not fake.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Confidence isn’t about removing all doubt. Confidence is knowing you’ll be all right if things go wrong.

Most problems aren’t problems. They’re just expectations you haven’t let go of yet.
