When‬ there’s a hole in your net, you don’t need a bigger net; you need a smaller hole.


When your foundation is shaky, you don’t keep building on top of it, you knock it down and start over.

"How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself and in no instance bypass the discriminations of reason? You have been given the principles that you ought to endorse, and you have endorsed them. What kind of teacher, then, are you still waiting for in order to refer your self-improvement to him? You are no longer a boy, but a full-grown man.

If you are careless and lazy now and keep putting things off and always deferring the day after which you will attend to yourself, you will not notice that you are making no progress, but you will live and die as someone quite ordinary.

From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside. And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded, remember that the contest is now: you are at the Olympic Games, you cannot wait any longer, and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event. That is how Socrates fulfilled himself by attending to nothing except reason in everything he encountered. And you, although you are not yet a Socrates, should live as someone who at least wants to be a Socrates."

- Epictetus (Enchiridon)

I noticed MJ changed his avatar and it displays the following quote.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche

That's gold.

I figured a "Quote of the Day - QOTD" thread would be a good thing to start. It might even rank high in Google.
"What's the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"

“It's time to start living the life you've only imagined.” - Unknown



I see at least one new quote every day because I use the Momentum Chrome extension (recommended) and this is what's on there now. It's winter break (and Christmas, Merry Christmas!) so I finally have time to rest and quietly think to myself. In short, I've been thinking / feeling exactly what the quote says. It's time...

Very simple quote, but read it a few times to yourself and maybe you'll feel it too. [HASHTAG]#powerful[/HASHTAG]

edit: You can even rephrase it to turn it into an affirmation. Just replace the "you've" with "I've."
"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."

"I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”

~ Charlie Munger

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."

"To complain is nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries with it an unconscious negative charge. When you complain you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness."

-Eckhart Tolle

"Every successful athlete enjoys taking calculated risks. You have to.

Especially in the gym when you're squatting 500 for reps and you can't get one more but you grunt out ten. Your nose starts bleeding, you fall into the rack and that's set one."
