Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs. - Ryan Holiday

Most of us are afraid of dying. But sometimes this fear begs the question: To protect what exactly? For a lot of people the answer is: hours of television, gossiping, gorging, wasting potential, reporting to a boring job, and on and on and on. Except, in the strictest sense, is this actually a life? Is this worth gripping so tightly and being afraid of losing? It doesn’t sound like it.

It's easy to be grateful for the things that go well, but you have to be grateful for those that don't.

The obstacles. The frustrations. The wrong turns. The stresses and difficulties. The people who wronged you. The bad days.

Those are all opportunities to make you better.

Decide who you want to be, and then do that work.
