Ryan Holiday Quotes
Seen properly, everything that happens—be it an economic crash or a personal tragedy—is a chance to move forward. Even if it is on a bearing that we did not anticipate.
It's not simply a matter of saying: Oh, I'll live in the present. You have to work at it. Catch your mind when it wanders—don't let it get away from you. Discard distracting thoughts.
Our capacity to try, try, try is inextricably linked with our ability and tolerance to fail, fail, fail.
Try "God willing" over "the will to win" or "willing it into existence," for even those attributes can be broken. True will is quiet humility, resilience, and flexibility; the other kind of will is weakness disguised by bluster and ambition. See which lasts longer under the hardest of obstacles.
When we focus on others, on helping them or simply providing a good example, our own personal fears and troubles will diminish. With fear or heartache no longer our primary concern, we don't have time for it.
