There are 4 types of wealth: 1. Financial wealth (money) 2. Social wealth (status) 3. Time wealth (freedom) 4. Physical wealth (health) Be wary of jobs that lure you in with 1 and 2, but rob you of 3 and 4.

Get comfortable with silence. That way you will only feel the need to speak when you have something important to say.

What if the American Dream really isn't working endlessly to buy a house, commuting 1.5 hours/day, moving far away from your friends & family, & mindlessly saving money for someday 40 years in the future?

Unhappy people will often be upset by your happiness. Don’t ever make the mistake of apologizing for it.

The less energy we waste regretting the past or worrying about the future, the more energy we will have for what’s in front of us.

Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.
