“Side Note: As a rule, people who are terrified of what others think about them are actually terrified of all the shitty things they think about themselves being reflected back at them.”
― Mark Manson

“Happiness comes from solving problems. [...] Happiness is a constant work-in-progress. The solutions to today's problems will lay the foundation for tomorrow's problems.”
― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

“أعطوا من أنفسكم كما تعطون من أموالكم ، فرُبّ بسمة مع العطاء تنعش السائل أكثر من العطاء ، وكلمة خير لجار تحيي الجار ، وبش في وجه ذي الحاجة والاعتذار عنها خير من قضائها مع الترفع عليه عند السؤال والمنّ عليه بعد النوال |٢٩”
― علي الطنطاوي, مع الناس

“The opposite of recognizing that we’re feeling something is denying our emotions. The opposite of being curious is disengaging. When we deny our stories and disengage from tough emotions, they don’t go away; instead, they own us, they define us. Our job is not to deny the story, but to defy the ending—to rise strong, recognize our story, and rumble with the truth until we get to a place where we think, Yes. This is what happened. This is my truth. And I will choose how this story ends.”
― Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution.
