Distance yourself from the people that you don't want to become.

Problems scream for attention while successes only whisper. We're wired to chase whatever's loudest. Your biggest opportunity isn't hiding in what's broken; it's hiding in what's working that you've stopped noticing.

The stronger we are relative to others, the less willing we generally are to change. We see strength as an immediate advantage that we don’t want to compromise. However, it’s not strength that survives, but adaptability. Strength becomes rigidity.

"Love is the product of how you respond … Love is showing your partner they’re safe, you’ll catch them if they fall, and you’ll drop everything if they need you. Love is unconditional. Love doesn’t keep score."

If you’re an amateur your focus should be on avoiding stupidity, not seeking brilliance.

Writing is often the process by which you realize that you do not understand what you are talking about.
