You offend a lot of people when you refuse to lower your standards to accommodate their feelings. #orangebook #Standards #Feelings #Boundaries

Notice how it's always the people who have achieved little in life who always find many ways to criticize the success of others, because you can't truly understand and respect the price to pay to get somewhere until you've been there yourself. #orangebook #Success #Criticism #Perspective

Social media is most fun when you are not doing it for money or connections. #orangebook #SocialMedia #Authenticity #Passion

The worst investments are not about losing it all at once; that saves you so much time and energy, that allows you to move on; the worst investments are about losing it steadily over the course of many years or decades, whilst secretly hoping that you could recover one day. #orangebook #Investments #Losses #Patience

A workout routine is how you discover vitality and joie de vivre you never knew you had in you. A writing routine is how you discover mental clarity you never knew you had in you. A loving family is how you discover ambitions and peace of mind you never knew you had in you. #orangebook #Vitality #Clarity #PeaceOf

Lack of growth is love of comfort. Lack of talent is misunderstood self. Lack of love is indifference for others. Lack of confidence is sophisticated cowardice. Lack of wealth is unnoticed conventional thinking. Lack of health is wrongly tolerated chronic stress. Lack of luck is laziness to put yourself out there with educated guesses and humility. #orangebook #Growth #SelfAwareness #Mindset

Mentally strong people are just people who didn't mind the weight of responsibilities and found reasons to embrace them and be worthy of them instead. Your identity is rooted in how you act when you are forced to face unexpected issues and challenges; if you keep finding reasons to shy away from spirited comebacks, you will naturally grow mentally weaker as you will know deep down that you are spineless. #orangebook #MentalStrength #Resilience #Identity

Too many people see the world in false binaries. You don't have to choose between money or a creative job, there are paths that lead to both. You don't have to choose between a family or a fulfilling career, there are paths that lead to both. You don't have to choose between your health or extraordinary results, there are paths that lead to both. The sacrifices and the price you need to pay to get what you want are often not what the rest of society will claim to be. Don't listen to people who only find satisfaction in suffering for the sake of suffering, it's a skill issue, or a self-love issue; the most talented people build a wealthy and happy life whilst enjoying the journey itself. #orangebook #FalseBinaries #Fulfillment #BalancedLife

You can't compound intelligent decisions and attract luck into your life unless you understand how to maintain a clear mind in a high-energy body: being physically exhausted and mentally overstimulated is how you compound silly mistakes despite "working hard and doing your best." #orangebook #DecisionMaking #MindBody #LuckAttraction

Success boils down to building the right type of wealth, the one that involves freedom: to become who you want to be, to nurture your unique talents, to enjoy laughters and deep conversations with your family and friends, to watch your children grow up and patiently guide them, to take calculated risks without feeling anxious, to read timeless novels slowly, to build your ambitious vision on your own terms. There is nothing more common than rich people who are very far from being wealthy. #orangebook #FinancialFreedom #PersonalGrowth #LifeWealth
