“Fear is not something that goes away. It’s not something that even diminishes, really. Rather, it stays. You can simply become better and better at hearing it without listening.”
Maxie McCoy, You're Not Lost: An Inspired Action Plan for Finding Your Own Way

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Kate Raworth, Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist

“There is one quality that sets truly great managers apart from the rest: they discover what is unique about each person and then capitalize on it,”
Julie Zhuo, The Making of a Manager: What to Do When Everyone Looks to You

Alain de Botton
“Romantic idea of love: he has found the right person; he has opened his heart to her; and he has been accepted. But he is, of course, nowhere yet. He and Kirsten will marry, they will suffer, they will frequently worry about money, they will have a girl first, then a boy, one of them will have an affair, there will be passages of boredom, they’ll sometimes want to murder one another and on a few occasions to kill themselves. This will be the real love story.”
Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

“No matter how many pep talks someone gives you or how much inspiration you read on the internet, there’s only one voice that truly matters: yours. Because no matter what’s happening in your life, the only person in your head is you. There is no one else who can control your thoughts but you. No one else’s positive words matter if you’re regularly and continually ripping yourself apart with negative chatter.”
Maxie McCoy, You're Not Lost: An Inspired Action Plan for Finding Your Own Way
