How does creating new memories slow down time? You don't remember the 20, 30, or 40 years. You remember a few weeks. That's the length of memories you have in life. That's the feeling of time you have. If you have more memories your concept of time spent will be longer.

It takes practice, but you can train your mind to flip into a good mood in an instant by realizing that most of your bad moods come from holding onto things that don't matter and can't be changed. You can choose to frame your situation in a way that leads to more happiness.

There should be no shame in admitting to a mistake; after all, we really are only admitting that we are now wiser than we once were.

The only real life hack: Obsession.

Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
