Your decisions about allocating your personal time, energy, and talent ultimately shape your life’s strategy.

Essentialism is a powerful antidote to the craziness that plagues our lives.

“Teach me how to be successful.”

“Life is lived on a spiritual battlefield.”

“Progress is the road to the new and improved promised land.”

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

“To express oneself honestly—not lying to oneself—that, my friend, is very hard to do. That is what you must train for: to become one in a completely natural, uncontrived way.”

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

Bystanders look for a long time—free of constraints, unobscured by their own judgments, waiting patiently to grasp the essential truth.

“This is your duty. Humble yourself unto death. It is in the death to self that humility is perfected.”
