“The most powerful common denominator of happiness was simple. Campbell summed it up: Having a strong sense of controlling one’s life is a more dependable predictor of positive feelings of wellbeing than any of the objective conditions of life we have considered. More than your salary. More than the size of your house. More than the prestige of your job. Control over doing what you want”
― Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money

“The goal of monk thinking is a life free of ego, envy, lust, anxiety, anger, bitterness, baggage.”

“Within you, whoever you may be, regardless of how big a failure you may think yourself to be, is the ability and the power to do whatever you need to do to be happy and successful. Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs. Just as quickly as you can dehypnotize yourself from the ideas of “I can’t,” “I’m not worthy,” “I don’t deserve it” and other self-limiting ideas.”
― Maxwell Maltz, Psycho-Cybernetics Deluxe Edition: The Original Text of the Classic Guide to a New Life
