"If you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly. But it's still worth it."
― C.S. Lewis

Love is the most dangerous feeling in the world... but still the happiest one you can ever experience. Totally worth it.




“A problem is a chance for you to do your best”
— Duke Ellington

Every problem you encounter is an opportunity to improve:

  • Stuck in traffic? Practice patience and making the most out of mundane situations

  • Tough problem in business? Practice critical thinking, creativity, and developing new strategies

  • Feeling stressed? Practice controlling your emotions and calming your mind

Be positive and look to draw advantage from every situation you encounter.




“Man is a thinking reed, but his great works are done when he is not calculating and thinking. ‘Childlikeness’ has to be restored with long years of training in the art of self-forgetfulness. When this is attained, man thinks yet he does not think.”
— D.T. Suzuki

Society is constantly trying to push you into being a productivity machine. Being busy and having a packed schedule are seen as status symbols.

But creativity is more often sparked when you’re not thinking. Remember those times when you were in the shower and randomly thought of a great idea? Or maybe it was right before you went to bed, or in the middle of your workout, or during a relaxed walk in the park.

Your best thinking will happen when you don’t try to think, when you just live in the moment. Create more free-living moments in your life and you’ll find yourself thinking a lot more clearly and creatively.
