Life is like a giant smorgasbord of more delicious alternatives than you can ever hope to taste. So you have to reject having some things you want in order to get other things you want more.

Ray Dalio
Image
I think the greatest tragedy of mankind is that people have ideas and opinions in their heads but don't have a process for properly examining these ideas to find out what's true. That creates a world of distortions.
Ray Dalio
Image
I think it is in the nature of individuals and individual entities not to self-correct.
Ray Dalio
Image
I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.
Ray Dalio
Image
I believe that dreamers who simply imagine things that would be nice but are not possible don’t sufficiently appreciate the laws of the universe to understand the true implications of their desires, much less how to achieve them.
Ray Dalio
Image
It is a law of nature that you must do difficult things to gain strength and power. As with working out, after a while you make the connection between doing difficult things and the benefits you get from doing them, and you come to look forward to doing these difficult things.

I'd like to be clear that a number of people find me intolerable, and they don't hesitate to say so - which they and I cherish.
