Just because you can, doesn't mean you should

99.9% of us are average at best, and that's okay

There is no inherent meaning or purpose in life, it just is

Unless there is something to be gained, people actually don't care that much about you

It's not how good you are, it's how likable you are

Failure is inevitable

Doing what is important is never comfortable

A job can ruin your life, but no job will make your life complete

Most people don't like their job because they don't like their personal life

Good talking doesn't necessarily mean good ideas

People actually want to do good work, but poor management often prevents this from happening

What you resist, persists

It's all invented

Your life is either a celebration or a chore. The choice is yours

To be angry is to be a victim

Sometimes we keep secrets from ourselves, and we call it forgetting

Life is rarely exactly the way we want it to be

Planning is just another word for guessing

Underneath most annoying behavior is a frustrated person crying out for compassion

Easy to remember all the things you do for others. Easy to forget how much others do for you.

Loving and being loved are two completely different things

When people give you advice they're really just talking to their younger selves

Stubborn people will never admit to being stubborn

It's impossible to always be happy

Most people have great ability but a lack of character

There is no there, there

Just because you want something to be true doesn't make it so

Being well off does not equal well-being

The more we have, the more we want

Perfection is an impossibility

Most of us wait too long

... Why wait?
