The first thing these people have who succeed, who are fulfilled, is that they’ve decided what the purpose of the game is, at least for right now.

Everybody has a different strategy, but everybody agrees that active management does not beat the market.

The third element of success is your state: You must replace a default state of pessimism or anger with one of determination, of will, of generosity, of curiosity, of gratitude. The more we can put ourselves in such beautiful states rather than suffering states, the more they become habits of being and we end up making better decisions.

We're not happy unless we feel like we're growing.

Creativity is often blocked by trying to be perfect. Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

The only thing keeping you from what you want is your story about why you can't have it.
