Live in the moment

Quote

If you are deppressed, you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Lao Tzu

How important is your opinion?

Quote

We cling to our point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions pass like Autumn and winter.

Chuang Tzu

Beat the procrastination

Quote

Who says you need to wait until you ‘feel like’ doing something in order to start doing it? The problem, from this perspective, isn’t that you don’t feel motivated; it’s that you imagine you need to feel motivated. If you can regard your thoughts and emotions about whatever you’re procrastinating on as passing weather, you’ll realise that your reluctance about working isn’t something that needs to be eradicated or transformed into positivity. You can coexist with it. You can note the procrastinatory feelings and act anyway.

Oliver Burkeman

Steve Jobs

The step towards success

What is motivation?
