All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing
Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for
Unhealthy love is based on two people trying to escape their problems through their emotions for each other—in other words, they’re using each other as an escape. Healthy love is based on two people acknowledging and addressing their own problems with each other’s support
To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is therefore a form of action
Our crisis is no longer material; it’s existential, it’s spiritual. We have so much fucking stuff and so many opportunities that we don’t even know what to give a fuck about anymore
The more something threatens your identity, the more you will avoid it
There is a simple realization from which all personal improvement and growth emerges. This is the realization that we, individually, are responsible for everything in our lives, no matter the external circumstances. We don’t always control what happens to us. But we always control how we interpret what happens to us, as well as how we respond.
If you’re miserable in your current situation, chances are it’s because you feel like some part of it is outside your control—that there’s a problem you have no ability to solve, a problem that was somehow thrust upon you without your choosing.
What is objectively true about your situation is not as important as how you come to see the situation, how you choose to measure it and value it.
people who are terrified of what others think about them are actually terrified of all the shitty things they think about themselves being reflected back at them
At some point, most of us reach a place where we’re afraid to fail, where we instinctively avoid failure and stick only to what is placed in front of us or only what we’re already good at
Remember, pain serves a purpose
We don’t always control what happens to us. But we always control how we interpret what happens to us, as well as how we respond
It’s worth remembering that for any change to happen in your life, you must be wrong about something. If you’re sitting there, miserable day after day, then that means you’re already wrong about something major in your life, and until you’re able to question yourself to find it, nothing will change
Romeo and Juliet is synonymous with “romance” in our culture today. It is seen as the love story in English-speaking culture, an emotional ideal to live up to. Yet when you really get down to what happens in the story, these kids are absolutely out of their fucking minds. And they just killed themselves to prove it!
Many people become so obsessed with being "right" about their life that they never end up actually living it
We are responsible for experiences that aren’t our fault all the time. This is part of life
Not giving a fuck does not mean being indifferent; it means being comfortable with being different
If you’re stuck on a problem, don’t sit there and think about it; just start working on it. Even if you don’t know what you’re doing, the simple act of working on it will eventually cause the right ideas to show up in your head
If you want to change how you see your problems, you have to change what you value and/or how you measure failure/success
