Nothing’s impossible if you don’t know it’s impossible.

How we perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will greatly diminish.

Oscar Wilde said that all criticism is autobiography. I tend to agree with that. Often, I find that the thing or person someone rails against is actually their own insecurities or jealousies. Concentrating on doing whatever you do better rather than on trying to bring someone else down will get you much closer to wherever you aspire to get to. Trust me.

The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters.

Nothing has inherent meaning. It is what it is and that’s it.
We just choose to project meaning onto things. It feels good.
Even if presented with proof that it’s totally random or neutral, we decide it has meaning anyway. It makes life more poetic and beautiful.
(And what if you’ve projected some bad meaning onto something, and it’s getting you down? Don’t forget that none of it is true. You’re the one that put the meaning into it. You can just as easily take all the meaning out of it.)
— Derek Sivers
If you can’t define it or act upon it … forget it.
— Timothy Ferriss
There are few things more liberating in this life than having your worst fear realized.

You’ve got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you’re not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice.
