Julie Gurner Quotes

No one will ever care about it as much as you do...until it is done. Then you're a hero. Very few clap for you on the way up...

"There is no peace for the man who has seen what he could become." - Epictetus

You will never rest until you get there.

If you can never call anyone out without penalty, it creates a world with no accountability.
That doesn't serve the average person, but it definitely serves many others.

There are two ways to interpret a failure:
1. Evidence that it is impossible for you to succeed.
2. Information about what hasn't worked yet.

- Unsuccessful people stay down because of #1.
- Successful people take hard hits, but ultimately decide they can figure it out (#2).

"Why am I not successful?" You'll get answers that berate you.
"How can I succeed here?" You'll get answers that push you.

Be deliberate in the questions you ask yourself.

1. "Tolerating" always becomes resentment, and resentment kills joy.
2. Overcoming hard things is actually correlated to happiness.

Pursuing what you really want may seem hard, but doing it will make you happier.
