The fastest way to figure what you actually want from life is to get what you think you want. Your dream neighborhood, your dream job, your dream marriage, your dream family, your dream life, itβs never quite like how you imagined it, and thatβs precisely what makes life so fun.

Life gets better once you focus on who you want to become instead of what you want to achieve. The latter should merely be a direct consequence of the former. If you reach your goals, but sacrificed your well-being and all your relationships in the process, you've lost the plot.

Getting rejected is actually a privilege. Few people tell you what you truly need to hear. Painful words are nothing compared to a life with no growth, no change, no progress. You are lucky if your life is full of rejections, that's the path toward your most authentic self.
Outsiderβs Advantage Things often begin from rejection. And sometimes, being away from the center β being in that away zone β gives you the power to see, and even to move things. I once read in a magazine that Ralph Lauren, back when he worked at Brooks Brothers, couldnβt stand
