What can be added to the happiness of a person who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?

Adam Smith

[lqb2quotes]

Only while sleeping one makes no mistakes. Making mistakes is the privilege of the active — of those who can correct their mistakes and put them right.

Ingvar Kamprad

[lqb2quotes]

No sense in thinking small. Don't water down your vision. A remarkable amount can be accomplished if you are willing to think longer term than most and work hard each day.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

When you are creating something, you will usually find that once things appear 90 percent done, you are actually about halfway there. But you have to create the first 90 percent in order to see the half that needs to be revised.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.

Blaise Pascal

[lqb2quotes]

You have to know how to use your accidents. Helen Frankenthaler

[lqb2quotes]

You can be authentic and hardworking and still struggle to find your footing if you’re in the wrong environment. ~ A fun person trapped in the wrong city. ~ A loving partner in a relationship that won’t reciprocate. ~ A great entrepreneur stuck in the wrong business. Think about your placement as much as your performance. Plant yourself where you can thrive.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

In the modern world, it is easy to feel like a passenger: reacting to notifications, responding to demands, consuming whatever you happen to drive past on your screen. But joy is found in being the driver. It's the act of looking at the raw material of your circumstances — your time, your energy, your relationships, your skills — and seeing what you can make from it. It is the act of creating the life you want (in big and small ways) that makes you feel alive and imbues life with extra meaning. The fact that you can hold a vision in your mind and then, however imperfectly, bend reality a few degrees in that direction.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

Results tend to find the person who stays in the game. The sidelines are safe, but sterile. Nothing grows there.

[lqb2quotes]

I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do... We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.

Roger Ebert

[lqb2quotes]

A lovely blend: Always reaching. Already enough.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

Compete against yourself. When you look outside — your rivals, your industry, your luck — there is always something to blame. When you look inside — your process, your effort, your rate of learning — there is always something to improve. Average looks out. Elite looks in.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

Your response to a challenge defines you more than the challenge itself.

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

The greatest quests are worthwhile not just because of the rewards they bring, but also because of who we must become along the way. Are you playing a game worth losing? Will it have been worth the attempt even if it doesn't work out?

James Clear

[lqb2quotes]

Action produces information. If you're unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it's the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing. Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

Brian Armstrong

[lqb2quotes]

When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play and it is play that stimulates creativity.

Linda Naiman

[lqb2quotes]

One of my hopes is to age into a better mindset. The general trend seems to become less open minded, less resilient, less capable of handling change with ease and flexibility as the years roll by. I hope to grow in the opposite direction. How can my mindset be better today than it was yesterday?
