life

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.

People are always trying to add more stuff to life. Reduce it to simpler, pure moments.

You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.

The biggest problem of success is that the world conspires to stop you doing the thing that you do, because you are successful. There was a day when I looked up and realised that I had become someone who professionally replied to email, and who wrote as a hobby.

If you want to change the future, start living as if you're already there.

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

The most selfish act of all is kindness, because its reward is so much greater than the investment.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.
