Mark Zuckerburg: "The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks."

what’s stopping you from sharing your unique gifts with the world? 99% of the time, the answer is your own mind convincing you you’re not good enough, aren’t “ready”, will look stupid, people won’t care, etc reminder: you can just decide to do it anyway whenever you want though

Non-dual thinking: Sometimes the answer isn't this OR that but this AND that. Hard work AND rest Stability AND change Acceptance AND problem solving Independence AND interdependence Ruggedness AND Flexibility Caring deeply AND non-attachment

Pessimists see problems. They worry about what could go wrong in the future. Optimists see possibilities. They focus on what could go right in the future. Proactive people turn problems into possibilities. They give us reasons to be optimistic about the future.

No amount of productivity will quench our inner fears about self-worth and helplessness.

Mastery is not a function of genius or talent; it is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.

"Nobody is normal. What we call 'normal' is people whose collections of traits are statistically closest to what we've decided counts as desirable and healthy. There's no normal out there that you're failing to live up to." — Robert Sapolsky

You are the machine that fuels everything else in your life. Paying attention to the mindset that drives that machine, is simply one of the most important things you can do. Every move, every decision, every action will rest on that. Be sure it is as optimal as it can be.
