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

Once you know who you could be,
and you feel it in your bones....
You will never rest until you get there.

Two things to remember if you don't like your life right now...
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.

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).

The most effective ambitious people have *internal* drivers, not external ones.

They may want external things, have external goals, but their engine runs on unlimited fuel.

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.

The questions you ask yourself will largely determine the answers you get.

"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.
