Ryan Holiday Quote: “Just because you’ve begun down one path doesn’t mean you’re committed to it forever, especially if that path turns out to be flawed or impeded. At that same time, this is not an excuse to be flighty or incessantly noncommittal.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Principles are better than instructions and “hacks.” We can figure out the specifics later – but only if we learn the right way to approach them.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Is there a chance? Do I have a shot? Is there something I can do?”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Desperation, despair, fear, powerlessness – these reactions are functions of our perceptions. You must realize: Nothing makes us feel this way; we choose to give in to such feelings. Or, like Rockefeller, choose not to.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “One might say that the ability to evaluate one’s own ability is the most important skill of all. Without it, improvement is impossible. And certainly ego makes it difficult every step of the way. It is certainly more pleasurable to focus on our talents and strengths, but where does that get us? Arrogance and self-absorption inhibit growth. So does fantasy and “vision.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Roger Ebert calls snarking “cultural vandalism.” He’s right. Snark makes culture impossible, or rather, it makes the conditions that make culture possible impossible. Earnestness, honesty, vulnerability: These are the targets of snark. “Snark functions as a device to punish human spontaneity, eccentricity, nonconformity, and simple error. Everyone is being snarked into line,” he wrote.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “How often does that happen to us? We comfort a friend during a breakup, only to be surprised when our own relationship ends. We must prepare in our minds for the possibility of extreme reversals of fate. The next time you make a donation to charity, don’t just think about the good turn you’re doing, but take a moment to consider that one day you may need to receive charity yourself.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “To have an impulse and to resist it, to sit with it and examine it, to let it pass by like a bad smell – this is how we develop spiritual strength. This is how we become who we want to be in this world.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Not only should you be testing your project as you create it, you must most seriously test your creation as it begins to resemble a final product. So you know what you have – so you can improve it. So you know what you have – so that you might figure out what to do with it. So you know what you have – so you can adjust your expectations.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Blogs are assailed on all sides, by the crushing economics of the business, dishonest sources, inhuman deadlines, pageview quotas, inaccurate information, greedy publishers, poor training, the demands of the audience, and so much more. These incentives are real, whether you’re at The Huffington Post or some tiny blog. Taken individually, the resulting output is obvious: bad stories, incomplete stories, wrong stories, unimportant stories.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “When action is our priority, vanity falls away.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Listen and connect with people, don’t perform for them.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “For nothing outside my reasoned choice can hinder or harm it – my reasoned choice alone can do this to itself.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Facts are better than dreams, as Churchill put it.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Attach yourself to people and organizations who are already successful and subsume your identity into theirs and move both forward simultaneously.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “The Things which hurt,” Benjamin Franklin wrote, “instruct.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “No matter what you’ve done up to this point, you better still be a student. If you’re not still learning, you’re already dying.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “A great destiny, Seneca reminds us, is great slavery.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Most successful people are people you’ve never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Attempting to destroy something out of hate or ego often ensures that it will be preserved and disseminated forever.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Our perceptions are the thing that we’re in complete control of.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Philosophy’s true use – “An operating system for life’s difficulties and hardships”.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “If Perception and Action were the disciplines of the mind and the body, then Will is the discipline of the heart and the soul.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Be natural and yourself and this glittering flattery will be as the passing breeze of the sea on a warm summer day.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “The old way – where product development and marketing were two distinct and separate processes – has been replaced.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “So much of the distress we feel comes from reacting instinctually instead of acting with conscientious deliberation.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “To be great, one must make great work, and making great work is incredibly hard. It must be our primary focus. We must set out, from the beginning, with complete and total commitment to the idea that our best chance of success starts during the creative process.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “There’s nothing to feel guilty about for being idle. It’s not reckless. It’s an investment. There is nourishment in pursuits that have no purpose – that is their purpose.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “If the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results, then passion is a form of mental retardation- deliberately blunting our most critical cognitive functions.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “We talk to fill the void and the uncertainty.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “An entrepreneur is someone with faith in their ability to make something where there was nothing before. To them, the idea that no one has ever done this or that is a good thing. When given an unfair task, some rightly see it as a chance to test what they’re made of – to give it all they’ve got, knowing full well how difficult it will be to win. They see it as an opportunity because it is often in that desperate nothing-to-lose state that we are our most creative.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “We spend a lot of time thinking about how things are supposed to be, or what the rules say we should do. Trying to get it all perfect. We tell ourselves that we’ll get started once the conditions are right, or once we’re sure we can trust this or that. When, really, it’d be better to focus on making due with what we’ve got. On focusing on results instead of pretty methods.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “In the way that a good wine must be aged, or that we let meat marinate for hours in spices and sauce, an idea must be given space to develop. Rushing into things eliminates that space.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “I always prefer to start from a place of reality, not from my own projections and preferences. Humility is clearer-eyed than ego – and that’s important because humility always works harder than ego.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “What happened yesterday – what happened five minutes ago – is the past. We can reignite and restart whenever we like. Why not do it right now?”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Today, you could try to increase your wealth, or you could take a shortcut and just want less.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Sometimes, staying put, going sideways, or moving backward is actually the best way to eliminate what blocks or impedes your path.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “If solitude is the school of genius, as the historian Edward Gibbon put it, then the crowded, busy world is the purgatory of the idiot.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Remember, if there is one core teaching at the heart of this philosophy, it’s that we’re not as smart and as wise as we’d like to think we are. If we ever do want to become wise, it comes from the questioning and from humility – not, as many would like to think, from certainty, mistrust, and arrogance.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Is there anything sadder than the immense lengths we’ll go to impress someone? The things we’ll do to earn someone’s approval can seem, when examined in retrospect, like the result of some temporary form of insanity.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “We all demand reparation for our early wounds to our narcissism,” thinking we are owed because we were wronged or deprived.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Rockefeller had sangfroid: unflappable coolness under pressure. He could keep his head while he was losing his shirt. Better yet, he kept his head while everyone else lost theirs.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “The goodness inside you is like a small flame, and you are its keeper. It’s your job, today and every day, to make sure that it has enough fuel... every person has their own version of the flame... so long as your flame flickers, there will be some light in the world.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Stoicism as the ideal “personal operating system.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Very few go astray who comport themselves with restraint. – CONFUCIUS.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “It’s much easier to control our perceptions and emotions than it is to give up our desire to control other people and events.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “Remember that this moment is not your life, it’s just a moment in your life. Focus on what is in front of you, right now. Ignore what it “represents” or it “means” or “why it happened to you.” There is plenty else going on right here to care about any of that.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “If we can focus on making clear what parts of our day are within our control and what parts are not, we will not only be happier, we will have a distinct advantage over other people who fail to realize they are fighting an unwinnable battle.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “So we ask ourselves: Why are things the way they are? What practices should be questioned and which should remain sound? This allows us to be both exotic and accessible, shocking but not gratuitous, fresh without sacrificing timelessness.”
Ryan Holiday Quote: “From sacrifice comes meaning. From struggle comes purpose. If you’re to create something powerful and important, you must at the very least be driven by an equally powerful inner force. If.”
