Smart words from smart people

A few smart things I’ve read lately and stuck in my head:

“What you think is true is heavily based on what you’ve experienced, and you remember the parts of your experiences that make good stories, confirm stereotypes, and connect dots between other experiences.” - Morgan Housel

“A great way to understand yourself is to seriously reflect on everything you find irritating in others.” - Kevin Kelly

“The only reason the world seemed like a better place during your childhood is because you were a child.” - Jon Stewart

“Life is easier when you know what you want—but most people don’t take the time to figure out what they want." - James Clear

“Stress primarily comes from not taking action about something which you actually have control over.” - Jeff Bezos

“Happiness is a choice and a skill and you can dedicate yourself to learning that skill and making that choice.” - Naval Ravikant

“The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.” - G. K. Chesterton

“The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.” - J. Krishnamurti

“You can’t use up creativity, the more you use the more you have.” - Maya Angelou

“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” - Marcus Aurelius

“Almost everything…all external expectations…all pride…all fear of embarrassment or failure…these things just fall away in the face of death….leaving only what is truly important.

You are already naked…there is no reason not to follow your heart.” ― Steve Jobs
