Quotes to ponder:

"Never forget that everything we do is being done in search of a positive effect. Everything we do is our best guess at how to attain happiness."

"In order to cut to your core and gain a better understanding of yourself, simply ask what the motivation is, because you’re not going to act on anything without some sort of incentive."
