I’m in love with this sentence:
“Discipline is explaining to your brain that you need to sacrifice immediate pleasures for greater rewards in future.”

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist.
If you're an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don't make everything a matter of life and death.

There is an African Proverb that I love:
“A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.”
Meaning: To achieve greatness, you must let go of old habits that could hold back your progress.

this quote from Carl Jung hits so hard.
"The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live."

This was an eye opener from Jensen Huang
When asked whether he would rather relive his 20s or be 20 years old today, this is what he had to say:
"I thought our 20s were happier than these 20s. I think everyone deserves some time to be oblivious, and not wear all of the world's problems on their shoulders on Day 1
We are raising a generation that is very cynical and too informed
They are cynical, not because they are inherently cynical. They are cynical because they see so much stuff. It is too much stuff
You have to build up some internal reserve of optimism. You have to build up some reserve of goodness."
