Reset, readjust, restart, refocus.As many times as you need to.
Just don't quit!
I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear.
So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.

Because when we give too many fucks, when we choose to give a fuck about everything, then we feel as though we are perpetually entitled to feel comfortable and happy at all times, that’s when life fucks us.
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.
Wanting positive experience is a negative experience; accepting negative experience is apositive experience.
The problem is that giving too many fucks is bad for your mental health
The point isn't to get away from the shit. The point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with.
That means the more something threatens to change how you view yourself, how successful/unsuccessful you believe yourself to be, how well you see yourself living up to your values, the more you will avoid ever getting around to doing it.
There's a certain comfort that comes with knowing how you fit in the world. Anything that shakes up that comfort- even if it could potentially make your life better- is inherently scary.
If it feels like it's you versus the world, chances are it's really just you versus yourself.
Just shut up and do it.
If you're stuck on a problem, don't sit there and think about it; just start working on it. Even if you don't know what you're doing, the simple act of working on it will eventually cause the right ideas to show up in your head.
Don't just sit there. Do something. The answers will follow.
Action --> Inspiration --> Motivation
If there really is no reason to do anything, then there is also no reason to not do anything.
Death is the light by which the shadow of all of life's meaning is measured. Without death, everything would feel inconsequential, all experience arbitrary, all metrics and values suddenly zero.
Happiness comes from the same thing: caring about something greater than yourself, believing that you are a contributing component in some much larger entity, that your life is but a mere side process of some great unintelligible production.
Is everything okay? How are you feeling?' I pause for a moment, still smiling. 'Alive. Very alive.
Hope doesn't care about the problems that have already been solved. Hope cares only about the problems that still need to be solved. Because the better the world gets, the more we have to lose. And the more we have to lose, the less we feel we have to hope for.
Because the only thing that can ever truly destroy a dream is to have it come true.
If people cheat, it's because something other than the relationship is more important to them. It may be power over others. It may be validation through sex. It may be giving in to their own impulses.
And I don't care how scientific you think you are or how many letters you have after your name, you're one of us, bucko. You're a crazy Feeling Brain-piloted meat robot just like the rest of us.
Negative are a call to action, positive emotions are a reward.
Negative emotions are a call to action, positive emotions are a reward.
Que algo te importe un carajo no significa ser indiferente; significa estar cómodo por ser diferente.
If the people in your relationships are selfish and doing hurtful things, it's likely you are too, you just don't realize it.
Knowledge Strategy Execution
Motivation is a byproduct of action, not the catalyst for it.
Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Today is a new day. Stop living in the past.
Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.
You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great.
Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
