1. James Altucher - On Doing Things You Don't Enjoy
"Every time you say yes to something you don’t want to do, this will happen:
you will resent people, you will do a bad job, you will have less energy for
the things you were doing a good job on, you will make less money, and yet
another small percentage of your life will be used up, burned up, a smoke
signal to the future saying, “I did it again.”

"The path of self-realization is the most difficult. It is taken only when other avenues to a sense of worth are more or less blocked."

"If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn’t walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don’t need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices."
