Do not fear what you can address. What should worry you is not the problem, but if you are resisting addressing it.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. Big, undreamed‑of things—the people on the edge see them first.

If you want to be happy, you minimize yourself and you engage in high flow activities or engage in activities that take you out of your own self and you end up with happiness.

Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when. That's why all true learning is "on the job." Life is lived in the arena.

Life is lived in the arena. You only learn by doing. The right way to learn is to actually go do something, and when you're doing it, you figure something out about how it should be done.

Real wisdom isn't about having all the answers or maintaining perfect equanimity. It's about developing the courage to meet life's messiness with our whole being—not just our thinking mind, but our emotions, our body, our intuition, our vulnerability.

When we try to think our way out of feeling, we rob ourselves of the direct engagement that wisdom requires.

Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy. Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder. Mastering your craft is hard, but having no skills is harder. Uncomfortable conversations are hard, but avoiding every conflict is harder. Easy has a cost.
