Your Ego has a tremendous amount of energy, so wrapped up
in your ego is your drive, your passions, your
aspirations, your desire to leave a
handprint in the world. You need it, because without it
there's no energy, no muscle.
But if you let that thing drive the WHOLE story, you're setting
yourself up for a life of terrible suffering.
Because, the definition of the ego, is the part of you
that can never be satisfied.

“At my level, tennis is no longer a
physical game. It's all mental. And
the way to win it is to be able to
calm your mind and always think
clearly.”
Novak Djokovic

achieving a spiritual balance. He draws energy
not from only food and sleep, but inner peace
“Once you get too excited, too high,
too low, it’s like a brake in your car.
You’re in traffic, you go fast, but you’re
still going to brake when someone’s
going to pass you. And you spend so
much gas than the guys who are
going slow.”

"More than anything else, what
differentiates people who live up to
their potential from those who don't
is a willingness to look at
themselves and others objectively"
“Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.”
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it
is only to be understood. Now is
the time to understand more, so
that we may fear less
“Almost all part of our bodies
demand expenses. The feet
demand shoes; the body, clothing
and our eyes, a cheap pair of
glasses which could not impair our
wallets. But the eyes of other people
are the eyes that ruin us. If all but
myself were blind, I should want
neither fine clothes, fine houses, nor
fine furniture.”
"More than anything else, what
differentiates people who live

who don't is a willingness to
look at themselves and others
objectively"
