“enormous gap existed in the United States between the best medical practice and the average, and an unbridgeable chasm separated the best from the worst.”

“A true leader stays exhausted, abhors arrogance, and never looks down on the weakest link. He fights for his men and leads by example. That’s what it meant to be uncommon among uncommon. It meant being one of the best and helping your men find their best too.”
― David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

“Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing. They were: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. I wish I hadn’t worked so much. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier.”
― Greg Hiebert, NOT A BOOK: You Can't Give What You Don't Have: Creating The Seven Habits That Make A Remarkable Life

“Think of the life you have lived until now as over and, as a dead man, see what’s left as a bonus and live it according to Nature. Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own, for what could be more fitting?” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.56–57”
― Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

“While it’s true that someone can impede our actions, they can’t impede our intentions and our attitudes, which have the power of being conditional and adaptable. For the mind adapts and converts any obstacle to its action into a means of achieving it. That which is an impediment to action is turned to advance action. The obstacle on the path becomes the way.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 5.20”
― Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living
