It’s the duty of humans to improve against our past selves.
Brilliance is overrated, most genius is a function of hard work.
Doing things is often more important than doing things well.
There are very few things in life that don’t relent to persistence.
In the endless vastness of the universe, all we really have is each other.
Creating connection is a fundamental human desire.
It’s not your job to improve or fix anyone. There’s people out there waiting to meet you and improve your life. Ruthlessly cut out people you don’t trust.
Most things are scary but not dangerous.
Most of your angst is in your head.
You’ll never be short of misery and there’s no prize for most trauma. Don’t hold onto it any longer than necessary.
Try to work on things you’ll love.
Work will consume roughly 1/10th of your life. Don’t settle for something that doesn’t make you happy.
Taking risks to find that place for yourself is something you owe to yourself.
Don’t shy away from change.
There is no growth without losing something that defined you.
