If you look back at your life on your deathbed at all the interesting things you’ve done, they’re all going to be centered around the sacrifices you’ve made and the hard things that you did.

On what is the purpose of life: To keep growing and learning in the short period of time that you have. To seek truth and to accept things the way they are. To see the world the way it really is. Then, just to live your life. I think that’s it. Any deeper meanings or goals just lead to ideologies, which lead to desires, and belief systems, and disappointments and conflict.

My number one priority in life, above my happiness, above my family, above my work, is my own health. It starts with my physical health. Second, it’s my mental health. Third, it’s my spiritual health. Then it’s my family’s health

The three big ones in life are wealth, health, and happiness. We pursue them in that order but their importance is in the reverse.

You have to do hard things to create your own meaning in life.

The flavor of life is on the edge. 

We all get shaped by adversity. All the great things that have happened to me in my life that I consider highly positive… they all started with something highly negative.

All the great endeavors in life are creative.

Live the life you want other people to live.

Relax you’ll live longer and perform better.

Ruthlessly cut meetings out of your life.

Live below your means for freedom.

Slow down, life is long.

All the real benefits in life come from compound interest.

If you can’t see yourself working with someone for life, don’t work with them for a day.

The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player.

You have one life. You’re dead for tens of billions of years, and you’re going to be dead for tens of billions of years.

Most of life is a search for who and what needs you the most.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

When I look back on my life, I want to say I saw the world the way it was.

Instead of asking ‘what do I want from life?’, a more powerful question is, ‘what does life want from me?’

Life is good when we think it’s good. Life is bad when we don’t think.

Most of modern life, all our diseases, are diseases of abundance, not diseases of scarcity.
