1. Perhaps the biggest tragedy in our lives is that freedom IS possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns.
2. Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.
3. Those who are offended easily should be offended more often. - Mae West
4. Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity. You’ll avoid the tough decisions, and you’ll avoid confronting the people who need to be confronted. - Colin Powell
5. Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain
6. The difference between the people you admire and everybody else is that the former are people who read. - Brian Called
7. You can tell the true character of a man by how his dog and his kids react to him.
8. Being in a good mood for creative work is worth the hours it takes to get in a good mood.
9. When you complain, Nobody wants to help you.
If you spend your time focusing on the things that are wrong, and that’s what you express and project to people you know, you don’t become a source of growth for people, you become a source of destruction for people.
10. If you want an average, successful life, it doesn’t take much planning. Just go to school, stay out of trouble, apply for jobs you might like.
BUT if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths: Become the best at one specific thing OR Become VERY GOOD (Top 25%) at two ore more things.
11. Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I’ll spend the first four sharpening the axe. - Abe Lincoln
12. Five morning rituals to win the day: Make your bed, Meditate, Do 5 to 10 Reps of something, Prepare cup of tea, 5 minute journal.
13. It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
14. The tripod upon which life is balanced: Healthy, Wealthy, Wise. One needs to have all three to have any sustainable success or happiness.
15. When you raise your kids, you’re the bow and they’re the arrow. You just try to aim them the best direction that you can and hopefully your aim isn’t too off.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

The 90's breh. I'd do anything to go back to those carefree days. Sometimes I will walk into an old office building or a random store and it smells just like my preschool from '93 or my moms work office from '96 (random examples i know) since scent is tied so closely to memory. Or you'll see a commercial for a toy or board game from childhood that you totally forgot existed and it takes you back like nothing else can

I think there’s a resurgence of antisemitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural, and I think we’re gonne be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.

One that provided significant perspective and changed how I looked at (judged) people is
"We judge others by their actions, but we judge ourselves by our intentions." - Stephen Covey
Another one of my all time favorites is
" If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail." - Ben Franklin
And Finally probably the most profound quote of all time is
"Youth is wasted on the young." - George Bernard Shaw
