Your purpose is not found, it is created by doing things that feel fun and useful. - Mark Manson

Don’t avoid making mistakes. Just make mistakes you can learn from.

The key to a good life is not giving a f*** about more; its giving a f*** about less, giving a f*** about only what is true and immediate and important.

One of those realizations was this: that life itself is a form of suffering. The rich suffer because of their riches. The poor suffer because of their poverty. People without a family suffer because they have no family. People with a family suffer because of their family. People who pursue worldly pleasures suffer because of their worldly pleasures. People who abstain from worldly pleasures suffer because of their abstention.
This isn’t to say that all suffering is equal. Some suffering is certainly more painful than other suffering. But we all must suffer nonetheless.
