Leo Babauta

Instead of focusing on how much you can accomplish, focus on how much you can absolutely love what you’re doing

The way I define happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you that you can be.

The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.

At the end of the day, the questions we ask of ourselves determine the type of people that we will become.

Simplicity boils down to two steps: Identify the essential. Eliminate the rest.

Stop waiting for the right person to come into your life. Be the right person to come to someone’s life.

We’re so caught up in trying to do everything, experience all the essential things, not miss out on anything important...We can’t read all the good books, watch all the good films, go to all the best cities in the world, try all the best restaurants, meet all the great people...Life is better when we don’t try to do everything. Learn to enjoy the slice of life you experience, and life turns out to be wonderful.
