easily digestible and informative. some of my favourite quotes below! 

  • every desire is a chosen unhappiness - its a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you achieve it 
  • more important to perfect your desires 
  • stop asking why and start saying wow 
  • what’s the positive interpretation of this 
  • you can change it, accept it, or leave it 
  • “well, the universe is going to teach me something now” 
  • be yourself with passionate intensity 
  • to make an original contribution, you have to be irrationally obsessed with something 
  • freedom to vs freedom from 
    (freedom from desire, from employment etc) 
  • inspiration is perishable. act on it immediately
