Quotes to ponder:
"Minimalism, at its root, is more than just throwing away everything that you own. It’s about learning to thrive, not survive, but thrive, regardless of your circumstances."
"Success isn’t about being 'on' all the time, it’s about focusing for intense bursts of time, and then disengaging."
"You have to create a self-reinforcing context that makes it impossible to fail."
