You don’t feel loved until you trust that the love being expressed toward you comes without any special conditions or baggage attached to it. - Mark Manson

Our most radical changes in perspective often happen at the tail end of our worst moments.

It’s only when we feel intense pain that we’re willing to look at our values and question why they seem to be failing us.

Commitment gives you freedom because you’re no longer distracted by the unimportant and frivolous. Commitment gives you freedom because it hones your attention and focus, directing them toward what is most efficient at making you healthy and happy. Commitment makes decision-making easier and removes any fear of missing out; knowing that what you already have is good enough, why would you ever stress about chasing more, more, more again? Commitment allows you to focus intently on a few highly important goals and achieve a greater degree of success than you otherwise would.

The fear of failure doesn’t prevent failure, it guarantees it.
