"“99% of the harm is caused in your head, by you and your thoughts. 1% of the harm is caused by reality, what actually happens, and the outcome. Most of the time, the problem isn’t the problem. The way you think about the problem is.” -Steven Bartlett"

"You should give to others what you most need. Which, more often than
not, is to say the following: You are not loved by everybody, but that does not mean you are not loved at all. You are not the most beautiful, but being the most beautiful is not what matters most. You are bound by nothing but your own fear, so you will not find freedom anywhere but within yourself. Everybody suffers."

"Learn to live your life more than you’re inclined to sit around wondering
about it. You can’t reflect your way into a new existence, but you can think yourself into paralysis. If you know, at your core, that you must start over, it’s not a matter of whether or not you will—it’s whether you’ll do it later, or whether you’ll do it now."

“There is immeasurable joy in the small things. In a great book, fresh vegetables, a warm bed, the arms of someone you love. These things, in our twisted world, are rarely valued, but in the end, they’re probably the most joy we’re going to have.”

"Remember that it is in moments when passions run high or a crisis is upon us that the primitive proclivities of the brain's limbic centers take on a more dominant role. At such moments the habits the emotional brain has learned over and over will dominate, for better or worse."

"Read books that interest you, and read them often. Hearing a new
voice in your mind will teach you how to think differently"

"People cannot transmute emotions, which is interesting to consider when you realize how utterly consumed the human race is with the concept of getting other people to love us. This is because when we think other people love us, we give ourselves permission to feel love. It’s a mind game, one in which we rely on everyone but ourselves to allow us to feel what’s already inside us."

"Nobody knows why some people convert bad experiences into depression while others don’t. It is equally true, after all, that the glass is half empty and half full. In studies, when shown neutral photos of various people and situations, depressed people habitually see them as negative, disappointing, sad, and unlikely to lead to a positive outcome"

"Life is like a roller-coaster, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. Sometimes things are going so well, and sometimes they don't go so well. During the down moments, that is when you grow. During the down moments, you discover yourself."

"The more you let people be who they are, the better your relationships will be"
