Get the Good from Yourself
If you want something good, and if you want to be happy, it has to come from inside you, rather than from anything external.
You Are the Raw Material
Every profession has a resource that is needed for production. You are that raw material in the mission of yourself, and you need to be worked on.
A Reputation Worth Having
Do you want to be known for your fancy lifestyle and insta-worthy photos? Or do you want to have a reputation for doing the right thing and helping people?
Show, Not Tell
Talk is cheap! So are ideas, and thoughts — they’re not worth much. Demonstrate what you’ve learned instead of verbalizing it.
Make It Happen
You can spend forever thinking about who you want to be, and what you want out of life. Or you can make it happen.
What’s on the Inside
Philosophy isn’t about outward displays. That’s not important anyway. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.
Your Character Guides Your Truth
You’re a character! You’re different from everyone else in the world. And that means that what’s right and rational behavior for you is different, too.
How Incredibly Small We Are
We are tiny in the grand scheme of things. Look at nature and that will become obvious.
Wanting = Working
The more you want things, the more you have to work. That’s the trade-off. Are you okay with that?
Look At It from a Different Angle
If something seems important or grand, try looking at it from a simpler perspective.
