I feel like, in this day and age, our children have become less imaginative about how to problem-solve. Parents and coaches have become more directive; they give orders and tell kids how to behave rather than teach them how to behave.

I don't think war is normal, disease is normal, abuse is normal, stress is normal. I don't think that is normal. I think happiness, strength, and health—that is normal.

There are a lot of folks who very appropriately medicate with food because it turns out that carbohydrates, simple carbs especially, are incredibly soothing to the brain. They hit the brain like crack cocaine.

The inability to deal with boredom is one of our greatest weaknesses, and in almost any meaningful journey, you have to go through boredom.

Half of learning, in my opinion, is really unlearning. Everyone already has the answer inside of them. You're not really learning anything new, you just want to get rid of all the bad lessons you learned.

"If you can't take charge of your own health, if you can't control what's going on inside your body, how can you change the world outside it?

Regardless of your age, background, career, education, financial situation, gender, history, or IQ, only about one-third of your intellect, potential, and memory is pre-determined by genetics and biology; two-thirds is in your control.

People who hang with healthy people get healthy. People who hang with unhealthy people get sick.

Things don't replace love languages. Gifts, money, showing off, random travel—none of this can be a substitute for deeply understanding your partner's love language.

The most successful people in the world—healthy, wealthy, or wise—choose education over entertainment. The most unsuccessful people in the world—unhealthy, unworthy, or unwise—choose entertainment over education.

When you try to use the outcome as a measure of the quality of your own being, that is the kiss of death. The way that this material world works, you can do everything right and it still goes wrong in terms of outcome. And you can do everything wrong, and it still goes right in the outcome. The outcome is not connected to the quality of your behavior, and that is such a hard idea to digest.

My advice would be to really take the time to explore what is happening inside you and where do all these things really come from. So much of our expectations and our desires, they don't reflect any inner true self; they reflect a million manipulations done on us either by external forces or even by internal forces that we know so little about.

Practicing a new skill increases the density of your myelin—the white matter in your brain that helps improve performance on a number of tasks. Additionally, learning new skills stimulates neurons in the brain, which forms more neural pathways and allows electrical impulses to travel faster across them.

Real love is figuring out how someone wants to be loved.

Every relationship is made up of my relationship to myself as I am with you and my relationship with you while I don't lose myself. It's both and. It's how I hold onto me and how I hold on to you, vice versa. How I hold on to you without losing me and how I hold onto myself without losing you. That's the dance.

Me and my therapist talk about my higher goddess, my higher self. I always want to live there knowing that, you know, when I'm there, you can't take that away from me. That's mine.

Studies show that only 2% of us are actually able to multitask. And when most people hear that, they're like 'Yeah, I'm in that 2%. That's me. I'm in that 2%.' You're probably not... Multitasking is a myth.

Our family and our friends will be more inspired by our example than our education. They're going to change when they see us change. They're going to transform when they see us genuinely transform.

We all want to have financial freedom ... But if you want to get to financial freedom, what do you have to have? You have to have financial discipline. You have to have the discipline to work hard. You have to have the discipline to save your money. You have to have the discipline to invest your money properly.
