Religion is the great balm of existence because it takes us outside ourselves, connects us to something larger - Robert Greene

Dreaming first of what you want and then trying to find the means to reach it is a recipe for exhaustion, waste, and defeat.

Understand: people will constantly attack you in life. One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself. They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose, they want to keep you down.
