Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life.

Money. It's a good servant but a bad master.

When I thought about why I was sometimes reluctant to push myself, I realized that it was because I was afraid of failure - but in order to have more success, I needed to be willing to accept more failure.

Happiness can seem like an abstract, transcendent notion, but in fact, I found that getting enough sleep (very important!!), getting exercise, not letting myself get too hungry, not letting myself get too cold (I'm a person who is always cold), made a big difference. Partly because I felt happier, partly because feeling physically comfortable makes it easier to keep other difficult happiness-boosting resolutions like biting my tongue.

It's easy to be heavy; hard to be light.

Habits are the invisible architecture of everyday life.

The absence of feeling bad isn't enough to make you happy; you must strive to find sources of feeling good
