Be stoic: Just do the right thing. Just keep going.

If you make happiness your goal, you'll be disappointed. If you make presence your goal, you'll be satisfied.

Ensure you endure.

Keep your intention pure. Emotions will try to distract you. So keep going. That's the cure.

Expect the river to be wild, surprising and challenging. To expect the opposite is to live in delusion.

Some can delay gratification. Others don't seek it at all. Be the latter.

The only thing you can control is the thought you are having right now. Make it calm, clear and simple. Make it your superpower.

True stoics don't care about the outcome. They just care to give their best shot, right here, right now.

Life will punch you in the face if your head gets too big. Don't ever pretend, don't lie, don't feel superior. Just be honest and do your own thing.

The easiest way to live unhappy and unsatisfied is to hope. More often than not, you'll be disappointed. Thus, your main aim should be to do the best you can right now and to expect nothing at all. Accept the way things turn out despite your best effort. That's the only path to a peaceful mind.

Human beings want control and certainty. "Accepting fate" means the opposite. That's why it seems absurd to us.

I'm not asking you to be fearless. I'm asking you to be courageous.

Death could be around the corner, for you, for your friends and for your family. I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just realist.

Being angry means your lizard brain took control. Being calm means you stayed above your emotions.

It will only hurt if you keep remembering it but a true stoic looks forward.

Understand: a critic doesn't disturb you, it disturbs your ego. You want to know the truth. Your ego is scared of it.

Life without love would be a strange thing. But don't be surprised if you get burned.

Winning is not about talent, being smart, taking shortcuts. It's about finding the right thing to do, and doing it.
