“Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of another.”

“The truth is that there’s no such thing as a personal problem. If you’ve got a
problem, chances are millions of other people have had it in the past, have it now,
and are going to have it in the future. Likely people you know too. That doesn’t
minimize the problem or mean that it shouldn’t hurt. It doesn’t mean you aren’t le-
gitimately a victim in some circumstances.
It just means that you’re not special.
Often, it’s this realization—that you and your problems are actually not privi-
leged in their severity or pain—that is the first and most important step toward
solving them.”

“If I ask you, “What do you want out of life?” and you say something like, “I want to
be happy and have a great family and a job I like,” your response is so common
and expected that it doesn’t really mean anything...Everybody wants that. It’s easy to want that.
A more interesting question, a question that most people never consider, is,
“What pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for?” Because
that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.”
