"A part of fixing anxiety is to learn how to turn off intrusive thoughts, so you can accomplish the things that you want to accomplish. And the answer to that is just meditation practice for around 10 minutes a day, when you learn how to focus on a singular task. Then you use that meditation practice to learn how to shift your attention away from unwanted thoughts, so you can focus on what you're supposed to be doing. Practice with things that actually triggers the anxiety."

"Suffering and failure are a catalyst for success. Nothing improves a person like having their self-concept destroyed by getting fired from a job, or experiencing a harsh breakup, or failing to achieve a dream. This moment are painful, but they're pivotal for motivation and development."

"There are so many people out there who put way more effort into dancing around the problem, instead of actually solving the problem. Start working hard, start thinking about what's most important to you. Start asking people what's most important to them, and start taking criticism. If you do that over a period of a few years, magically, people want to be around you. Magically, they will start listening to you, and magically, you will start attracting better people to come. "

"If people naturally don't want to engage with you, and they don't want to be your friend, don't trust you to perform tasks, or don't give you opportunities, and don't listen to your ideas, it's because you aren't compelling them. A part of that, could be that you haven't properly placed yourself in an area where you're valuable. It can be that you aren't a good communicator, or it could legitimately be that you don't have any value."

"Avoidance feels good short-term. Long-term, it: - Lowers confidence - Raises fear - Shrinks your tolerance for uncertainty - Every time you avoid, you reinforce: - βI canβt handle seeing myself struggleβ Which becomes self-fulfilling."

"You can start the relationship out poor and come to wealth later in life. Instead of wanting to build a better husband who has all the perfect traits, just find someone who is mostly like you, and is willing to put in hard work to resolve issues that come up with the relationship. Thatβs whatβs actually fulfilling."

"I want a million dollars, but I could survive with 60k dollars if I need to. I want a massive income, but I donβt need a massive income."
