One quote a day.

Sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but words will never hurt me

 

Success = Experience
Fall = Experience 2x
Learn from both = Experience x3

 

The bitterest truth is better than the sweetest lies

 

"The male orgasm curve that has dominated Western narrative for centuries: crisis, climax, release…and then you get to go to sleep. Winners and losers, saved and damned are properly categorized and justice is finally done. Just buy my product, believe in my god, vote for my guy, or suck my dick, and everything’s gonna be alright." - Douglas Rushkoff

 

Do you know what is the most destructive force in the universe? Regret.

 

"The only way to learn to ride a bike is keep failing until you succeeded."

 

"We may be in the midst of some great existential crisis, but we’re simply too busy to notice."

 

"A day spent without smiling as a lost day."

 

We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.

 

We are of course concerned with time in terms of counting days:

'A quick search on Google yields over 11.5 billion hits for the word “time.” In comparison, more obvious topics of interest like sex and money rank a paltry 2.75 billion and 2 billion, respectively. Time and how to make the most of it, appears to be about five times more important to us than making love or money.'

 

"Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not." - Lose Yourself

 

"We shall not fly high to stay above the world, but rather to build enough courage to reach back down, enough empathy to lift others up, enough strength to go back up with enough humility to bring others with you - higher and beyond than what you'll ever reach."

 

Look at a screen and immagine situation won't make them real.
Go out and live your life, work for what you want will make them real, and you will enjoy everything.

Stop wasting time, LIVE!

 

Take 'keeping busy' for example. Even if it isn't the same dopamine high as addiction it certainly isn't the same as being relaxed and at peace, which might be considered 'lazy':

"the states of consciousness we prefer are those that reinforce established cultural values. We enshrine these states socially, economically, and legally. That is, we have state-sanctioned states of consciousness. Altered states that subvert these values are persecuted, while the people who enjoy them are marginalized."

 

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably. Jean-Luc Picard

 

"It's not a boulder, it's a rock! A great, big rock!" - Spongebob Squarepants

 

After another relapse and change on counter:

 

"Successful people are not people without problems. They're simply people who've learned to solve their problems"
—Earl Nightingale

 

"Man cannot reshape himself without suffering for he is both the marble and the sculptor." - Alexis Carrel.
