Life actually keeps sending you the very exact wake-up calls you need to turn your life around, but most people fail to hear them because they are too busy listening to their rationalizing mind.

Stagnation is a sign of cowardice.

People who claim that they are pushing themselves "for others" but who somehow cannot take care of their own health properly, usually just become a burden on everyone around them once their body and mind inevitably break down.

People with no particular "talent," but who possess unwavering self-belief, and who keep putting in the work decade after decade, always outperform "smart" people who mostly use their intelligence to overthink everything or doubt themselves.

People who didn't grow much as they got older are people who lacked the courage to build the habit of hitting their limits over and over again.

Growth is the art of putting yourself in situations where you will still fail despite doing your best, then learning how to enjoy them.

If you were not dealt great cards at birth, the first thing you need to discard is your pride, you are not going to achieve the same as people of equivalent talent and work ethic if you started ten steps behind: whenever you feel like something is "below your line," that's when you actually have an opportunity to beat the odds.

Being proud of being busy all the time is effectively the same as being proud of working very inefficiently.

Most "mental struggles" are just people addicted to living in their own mind instead of actually having the courage to improve who they are, act every day, get things done.

Real friends will always point it out when you are about to make a mistake that they already made.

Figuring out the right direction in life isn't a big deal if you can clearly and accurately imagine the older version of yourself on your deathbed, with all the regrets that you can still avoid.

The less you take yourself seriously, the "luckier" you will get in life. Get rid of your pride and fear of embarrassment. Put yourself in situations where you will grow regardless of whether you feel like it or not. No one is watching, no one cares. You're gonna live your life, die, and be vaguely remembered for one or two generations if you had a loving family, that's about it.

Mentally weak people are just people who had the privilege to have other people sort out their problems for way too long. It's impossible to not grow mentally stronger when you have to stand alone and take responsibility for where you are in life.
