If you are not turning down things that excite you, then youre not foc — Mark Manson

"A lot of people hesitate to take responsibility for their problems because they believe that to be responsible for your problems is to also be at fault for your problems."

"The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience."

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

"Evil people never believe that they are evil; rather, they believe that everyone else is evil."

"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."

"“Don’t hope for a life without problems,” the [Disappointment Panda] said. “There’s no such thing. Instead, hope for a life full of good problems.”"
