“Wright says, "You are the only person in the world who can complete and fulfill you, and ensure your happiness. Everyone else is a potential (hopefully) wonderful addition to that fated situation.
You are born complete, you die complete, and you decide whom you spend your time with in between.”
― Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works

“Each of us is already a whole person, and the role of everything else is only to augment, enhance, or amplify our lives, not get in the way.”

“Six Questions to Ask Before Buying
1. Who am I buying this for? (Me/Image)
2. Will this add value to my life?
3. Can I afford it?
4. Is this the best use of this money?
5. What’s the actual cost? ($+)
6. Would the best version of me buy this?”

“I would posit, however, that people aren’t searching for happiness -they're searching for freedom. And true happiness that is, enduring well-being- is a by product of that freedom [...] when you think about freedom, you often think of doing whatever you want, whenever you want. [...] Dig deeper, however, and you quickly realize that's not freedom- it's self inflicted tyranny [...] Sure, faux freedom is comfortable, not unlike a child's security blanket, but it is not the blanket that keeps a child secure. Security resides in our ability to move on, to walk away from what's holding us back, and to walk toward that which is worthwhile.”

“How much is enough?
Less than enough is depriving.
More than enough is indulging.
Enough is the sweet spot in the middle, the place where intentonality intersects with contentment, where lust doesn't get in the way of creating something meaningful. Sure, you could pursue more. But "could" is not a reason to do anything.
Enough is enough when you decide it's enough.”
