Remember, pain serves a purpose. - Mark Manson

When you can’t decide, ask yourself: Which option minimizes future regrets?

Then do that.

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.

Putting yourself in a position where you can be rejected, saying a joke that may not be funny, asserting an opinion that may offend others, joining a table of people you don’t know, telling a woman that you like her and want to date her. All of these things require you to stick your neck out on the line emotionally in some way. You’re making yourself vulnerable when you do them.

In this way, vulnerability represents a form of power, a deep and subtle form of power.
