“If you’ve ever been told, “You’ll get it if you just want it bad enough,” I’m here to let you off the hook: it simply isn’t true.”
Jeff Olson, The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness

“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.”
Jeff Olson, The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness

“I could tell you that if you would agree to read ten pages of one of these good books every single day, over time, you could not help but accumulate all the knowledge you’d ever need to be as successful as you could ever want to be. Like a penny over time, reading ten pages a day would compound, just like that, and create inside you a ten-million-dollar bank of knowledge. If you kept this up for a year, you would have read 3,650 pages—the equivalent of one or two dozen books of life-transforming material. Would your life have changed? Absolutely. No question.”
Jeff Olson, The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness

“Showing up is essential. Showing up consistently is powerful. Showing up consistently with a positive outlook is even more powerful.”
Jeff Olson, The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.”
Pema Chödrön, Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion
