As a general rule, we’re all the world’s worst observers of ourselves. — Mark Manson

"Pleasure is not the cause of happiness; rather, it is the effect."

"If you have to tell someone youre that, then youre not that."

"Be the partner you want to have"

"If you are not turning down things that excite you, then youre not focused enough about something that matters."

"Our values are imperfect and incomplete, and to assume that they are perfect and complete is to put us in a dangerously dogmatic mindset that breeds entitlement and avoids responsibility."

"The last person we are objective about is ourselves."
