Mark Manson

The quality of your life is directly proportional to your tolerance for uncertainty.

If you’ve never pissed anyone off, you’ve probably never really said anything interesting, either.

You can’t stop comparing yourself to others. But you can choose to compare yourself to people who inspire you and motivate you, rather than ones who make you feel like shit.

You can’t build self-worth by trying to be like someone else. Counterfeits are always worth less than the original.

If your 8-year-old self met your adult self, would they be proud? Or just see a grown-up drowning in obligations and goals they don’t even fucking like?

Feeling better isn't necessarily being better. Most of our worst decisions felt amazing in the moment.

The struggles never get easier. You just get better at bearing them.

The best way to become the person you want to be is to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to become them.

The first rule of dealing with drama is don’t hang around people who are constantly creating drama. The second rule of dealing with drama is to never forget the first rule.

The Relationship Paradox: The happier you are alone, the better your relationships become.

If you just:  - Show up on time - Do what you say you’re going to do - Give a shit You’re already ahead of 99% of people.

Be grateful for your struggles, because within them is the opportunity for growth and meaning.

Everything sucks, some of the time. Let it.

Pain is like a bitchy mother-in-law: you can’t avoid it forever so you might as well find a way to have a good relationship with it.
