A lot of people who say that money isn't that important to them because they value their time with their family more, seem to forget that financial security actually improves their relationships: they aren’t constantly stressed out or worried about unexpected expenditures, they can afford to invest in themselves and become a happier version of themselves, they have time to listen to others, be supportive, and actually care. #orangebook #money #FinancialSecurity #relationships

The best investments of your life are never found in what everyone else is already currently chasing. #orangebook #investments #chasing #opportunity

You only need to experience the healthiest version of yourself once, and you will never understand how anyone can trade short-term pleasure for long-term peace of mind. #orangebook #Health #PeaceOf #SelfImprovement

A lot of smart people are afraid of writing and publishing online because they assume that whatever they can think about today, it will be dwarfed by the perspective they will have a decade from now, but it's often untrue. At every stage of your life, you have a valuable perspective to offer. You'd be surprised by how useful your "immature" writing can be, even to your future, more mature self. #orangebook #writing #perspective #publishing

An underrated sign of success is whether you have that spark in your eyes that says that you are having a great time with your life. #orangebook #success #happiness #life

Anxiety is often the sign that you haven’t become who you truly want to be, and you won’t be able to become that person as long as you are afraid of temporarily ignoring the world. #orangebook #anxiety #SelfImprovement #fear

There is good news every day if you pay attention to your reality with the right perspective. Negativity is a choice. #orangebook #positivity #perspective #mindset

Everyone has an agenda, especially those who claim they are selfless, that claim is part of their agenda. #orangebook #agenda #selfless #deception

It's very easy to belittle the achievements of other people when you grew up with advantages they didn't have, it's much harder to encourage, empower, and lead them to become who they didn't know they could be. #orangebook #privilege #empathy #empowerment

Not having any other choice is actually a competitive advantage. #orangebook #nochoice #advantage #strategy

There are two types of people, those who get emotional and act like victims as soon as they don't get what they want from life, and those who choose, with infinite patience and calm, to keep reinventing themselves until they get the life they want. #orangebook #mindset #resilience #growth

In retrospect, it's really obvious that the best decisions of your life happened when you didn't have any other choice and had to take a leap of faith, not when you could afford to play safe and pretend like you were "taking risks" when you actually had nothing important to lose. #orangebook #leapoffaith #decisionmaking #risk

Happily married people often forget how rare it is to be able to effortlessly communicate with their spouse. So many couples struggle to understand each other as they get older. They grew in different directions as they got busy with life. A great lifelong relationship is like staying healthy as you get older: it doesn't happen by chance. #orangebook #marriage #communication #relationships

The same way most locals who live near a tourist spot don't bother visiting that spot, rich people don't fantasize about buying what they can buy anytime, free people don't fantasize about traveling where they could go anytime, happy people don't fantasize about meeting someone who will make them feel better, and successful people don't fantasize about living another life. #orangebook #psychology #desire #motivation

The smarter you get, the less you actually overthink. #orangebook #overthinking

As unfortunate as it is, social media show people what they want to see, and just like we know how most people want to consume things that are actually harmful to their physical health, you should keep in mind that unless you are very selective about what you consume online, you are actually regularly being fed things that are very harmful to your mental health. #orangebook #SocialMedia #MentalHealth #ContentConsumption

In a truly great relationship, the other person knows you so well that they will regularly surprise you by pointing out things you hadn't noticed about yourself. #orangebook #relationships #SelfAwareness

People aren't scared of getting married, or investing their money, or committing to a difficult project, or relocating to a new place with better opportunities; they are actually only scared of their own judgment. Taking the jump is actually surprisingly easy when you have full confidence in your own judgment. #orangebook #SelfJudgment #commitment #confidence #judgment

If you marry well, it also becomes your most important decision in terms of well-being, personal finance, and lifelong purpose. #orangebook #marriage

Cynicism is the symptom that you are not living the life you wanted to live. Anxiety is the symptom that you are not who you wanted to be. Anger is the symptom that you are not around the people you wanted to be with. #orangebook #selfreflection #personalgrowth
