Give up your addictions. What often starts as a routine or as a treat can easily become an addiction you cannot do without. The morning coffee, checking your phone, or alcohol or other drugs. Addiction happens when we Lose the Ability to Abstain.

Who are you? Where are you? What do you stand for? Why are you here? We are often asked these questions and we don't even think twice and give a superficial answer right away. Today, really ponder these questions and think if what you're doing contributes or takes away from it.

Do not listen to free men who say education is only for those free men. No. Listen to the wise men who say only those educated are free. We learn to learn how to live, remember that when you don't feel like doing it.

Learn to differentiate between what's under your control and what's outside it. If you know the difference, you'll stop trying to fight and change what you don't control and save your energy for what you do.

Reading books is great, but at some point you'll have to go out and take action. Do that while you still can.
