“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”
― Socrates

“The reason it’s important to push hardest when you want to quit the most is because it helps you callous your mind. It’s the same reason why you have to do your best work when you are the least motivated. That’s why I loved PT in BUD/S and why I still love it today. Physical challenges strengthen my mind so I’m ready for whatever life throws at me, and it will do the same for you.”
― David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

“There is a common misunderstanding that emotions cause us to think illogically But recent scientific thinking, reviewed by psychologist Roy Baumeister and his colleagues, has placed emotion at the center of wisdom. One reason is that most emotion is felt after an event, which apparently serves to help us remember what happened and learn from it. The more upset we are by a mistake, the more we think about it and will be able to avoid it the next time. The more delighted we are by a success, the more we think and talk about it and how we did it, causing us to be more likely to be able to repeat it.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
