Hunter S. Thompson’s Letter on Finding Your Purpose and Living a Meaningful Life
How to be successful (Sam Altman)
Whenever a door is closed, find your way through a window. – My dad
Failure is the information you need to get where you’re going. – Rick Rubin
Base decisions on the internal feeling of being moved and notice what holds your interest. This will always be in the greatest service of the work. – Rick Rubin
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. – Rainer Maria Rilke
Don’t waste your suffering – Joseph Goldstein
Thought is a means of concealing truth, despite the fact that it’s an extraordinarily useful faculty. — Alan Watts
The quality of your mind determines the quality of your life. – Sam Harris
If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone. – Naval Ravikant
As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. – Rumi
When you truly work for yourself, you won’t have hobbies, you won’t have weekends, and you won’t have vacations, but you won’t have work either. – Naval Ravikant
We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are. – Anais Nin
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. – Viktor Frankl
When we reach our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.” Avatar Aang
We do not ask life what the meaning of life is. Life asks us, what is the meaning of your life. And life demands our answer. – Viktor Frankl
You ought to try to make significant contributions to humanity rather than just get along through life comfortably—that the life of trying to achieve excellence in some area is in itself a worthy goal for your life. – Richard Hamming
People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty. – Tim Ferriss
Your most valuable assets will be the same in twenty years:
– a healthy, fit body that shows discipline
– a clear mind that shows ambition, curiosity
– a loving family and loyal friends who care
– the freedom to live on your own terms
– a meaningful purpose that makes you grow
– Orange Book
The more you understand who you are, the less you’ll envy those who you aren’t. If you don’t know whether you want to be a quarterback, a chef or an artist you’ll find yourself envious of all of them. A great sign that you’ve found your calling is when you stop envying others. – Jeremy Giffon
The main forms of luck in life as an adult are having an amazing partner, loving your work, and having your health. Everything else is accoutrements. – Jack Altman
