Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.

- Wayne Gretzky (via meditatingoutloud)

We reach a point where, in order to go on, we have to wipe the slate clean. We start to see ourselves as a box that we’re trapped inside and no matter how we try and escape, we just sink further and further down. The only way to truly break out of the box is to get rid of it all together… I mean, you built it in the first place. If the people around you are breaking your spirit, who needs them? Starting over isn’t crazy. Crazy is being miserable and walking around half asleep, numb, day after day after day. Crazy is pretending to be happy. Pretending that the way things are is the way they have to be for the rest of your bleeding life. All the potential, hope, all that joy, feeling, all that passion that life has sucked out of you. Reach out, grab a hold of it and snatch it back from that bloodsucking rabble.

The Way to Happiness.

A sage asked of a fool the way to happiness. The fool answered without delay, like one who had been asked the way to the next town: «Admire yourself, and live on the street!» «Hold,» cried the sage, «you require too much; it suffices to admire oneself!» The fool replied: «But how can one constantly admire without constantly despising?»
