The happiest and most successful people I know don't just love what they do, they're obsessed with solving an important problem, something that matters to them.

You can’t focus on what everyone else is doing — it has to be about what’s really broken and what you can do to fix it.

If you start your own thing, you can learn a lot really fast from doing things wrong.

There are 30,000 days in your life. When I was 24, I realized I’m almost 9,000 days down. There are no warm-ups, no practice rounds, no reset buttons. Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable. Every day we’re writing a few more words of a story. I wanted my story to be an adventure and that’s made all the difference. Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.

Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.
