Don't fall in love too fast. You think you know their dreams, but you just know their plans. Plans come from the head, but dreams come from the heart.Collection: Dreams
Knowledge is power, and it can help you overcome any fear of the unexpected. When you learn, you gain more awareness through the process, and you know what pitfalls to look for as you get ready to transition to the next level.Collection: Knowledge
Giving yourself space and time can actually lead to the birth of more creativity, better creativity, and some of your best work.Collection: Space
But when I lived as a monk, solitude is often spoken of as a strength. And so the first thing I'd recommend is finding one thing that you can do every single day that brings you joy. It may be reading a book you love. It may be looking at a beautiful piece of art.Collection: Strength
Wealth can be used to make a huge difference in the world; social media can be used to have a positive impact on people, or it can be used for exactly the opposite.Collection: Positive
Solitude is the strength of being alone. It's where we become our best company.Collection: Alone
I remember being in India one time where I saw people who were struggling to find food at the bottom of a trash can, and then I walked into my hotel and saw people arguing over how the quality of food at the buffet wasn't good enough.Collection: Food

Learning to love in the way someone wants to be loved is far more the definition of love than just loving in any way.Collection: Learning
If we could choose, we'd always want to be in flow and thriving, but that's not realistic. Growth has levels, and learning how to navigate them is important.Collection: Learning
If you can build a muscle, you can build a mindset.
We get bored because we don't want to sit with our fears. We don't want to sit with our anxiety. We don't want to sit with our stress because it's uncomfortable.
Doing one thing by yourself, for yourself, that creates joy is such an important habit.
The interesting thing about overthinking and procrastination is sometimes they can actually evolve into innovation and creativity in the short term. Letting an idea grow in your mind in the short term with a deadline and a plan can actually lead to innovation and creativity.
I really believe that if you come across something in life that could improve the life of someone else, you should pass it on.
When it comes to procrastination and overthinking, we have to overcome our self-doubt.
We think we have to become something else to be satisfied, not realizing that being ourselves is the only thing that can satisfy us.
I think millennials have really made it their vision and commitment into life to really find themselves, to focus on what matters.
I see my whole 20s as a massive experiment. So were my teens. I think the problem is that we're not encouraged to experiment; we're encouraged to decide and choose, be singular and focused. You can't be that until you experiment. You don't know what's going to work until you try it.
Becoming a monk was a hard decision. Leaving being a monk was harder, but it's given me so much faith in my ability to transition, and that what I learned as a monk can still serve me.
Whatever you think someone else should give to you, you need to be able to give yourself first.
We say yes to every invite, and then we feel tired and anxious and stressed and overworked and burnt out.
Real love is figuring out how someone wants to be loved and loving them in that way.
Whatever that big procrastination overthinking thing is, I want you to dive into it. When I say dive into, I mean, clear your whole weekend and spend your whole weekend thinking about this.
Anyone who is humble but still super accomplished, super recognized, renowned, has status, and has every reason to not have to be humble if they don't want to, but they still choose to be humble because they value that humanity is connected - that we're all on the same level as humans - that humility is what wins my heart.
How do we merge entertainment and education? We live in a world where entertainment wins, but if entertainment can have an educational heart, then we can really change people's lives.
One of the most incredible things I believe that social media has done, is that it genuinely just amplifies what's inside us already.
You start projecting hurt and pain onto yourself when you don't find closure. Be honest with the situation and yourself, clean the wound, and move on.
I create a lot of my content in one or two days for the next month because I can get really creatively inspired and then I can spend the rest of the couple of months thinking about other creative ideas but focusing on business, logistics, being effective, practical, and productive.
When you can produce measurable, replicable results, it builds confidence and motivates you to keep pushing forward.
If you know what you need, you will find the answers when you read.
Often, we think of change as being raising a million dollars or helping 100,000 people. But true change, real change could be just calling one person who you know is lonely every single day.
Expectations are not based on reality. They are observations, expected realities, or beliefs of what you think will happen. Expectations of others stop us from acting as our highest selves and reaching our full potential.
I was at business school doing pretty well for myself, had a few offers from some great companies. But when I traveled across the world, I was shocked by just how much pain, struggle, and anguish people had to go through to have basic necessities.
I trained myself out of the habit of relying on notifications to make me feel good so that I could dedicate my time to my personal two-hour meditation practice every morning.
We often refer to loneliness as something negative. And we look at it as a weakness.
I feel that most of our pain from the loss of a loved one is things we never said or expressed.
When you are looking to be validated by others, you are living according to their values, not yours.
Our past can be an opportunity to learn to feel happy, to feel joy, to feel power, to feel passion in your life.
So many of our love languages are based on how our parents loved us or didn't love us. What our parents gave us either has become our priority or what they didn't give us has become our priority.
When it comes to time management, I talk a lot more about energy management. I try to give people 100% of my energy even if I'm giving them very little of my time.
What you smell has a big impact on how you feel.
The power of love far outweighs the power of will.
I find that reading is a super important habit. It's one of the best ways to get centered, to find a new tool to play with, or to experiment with a new idea.
When I became a monk, it didn't feel like I was giving up that much. I actually felt like I had made the best decision, because anyone who hadn't focused on building themselves up was the one losing out.
