“Money alone isn't enough to bring happiness . . . happiness [is] when you're actually truly ok with losing everything you have.”

“Happiness is really just about four things: perceived control, perceived progress, connectedness (number and depth of your relationships), and vision/meaning (being part of something bigger than yourself).”

“I had decided to stop chasing the money, and start chasing the passion.”

“Things are never as bad or as good as they seem.”

“Without conscious and deliberate effort, inertia always wins”

“The more rules you have about how people have to be, how life has to be for you to be happy, the less happy you're going to be.”

“Sometimes we are only aware of how happy we are when the moment has passed. But now and again, if we are very lucky, we are aware of happiness when it is actually happening.”
