Additional quotes by Ryan Holiday

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.
