“Choose not to be harmed—and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed—and you haven’t been.”

“It doesn’t matter whether this is the worst time to be alive or the best, whether you’re in a good job market or a bad one, or that the obstacle you facie is intimidating or burdensome. What matters right now is right now.”

“Our perceptions determine, to an incredibly large degree, what we are and are not capable of. In many ways, they determine reality itself. When we believe in the obstacle more than in the goal, which will inevitably triumph?”
― Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph
