Naval Ravikant, Sam Harris, Marcus Aurelius

Three Point Thursday | 3 Timeless Maxms

“Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want. I don’t think most of us realize that’s what it is. I think we go about desiring things all day long and then wonder why we’re unhappy. I like to stay aware of it, because then I can choose my desires very carefully.”

—Naval Ravikant

“The problem is not thoughts themselves but the state of thinking without being fully aware that we are thinking.”

―Sam Harris

“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside.”

―Marcus Aurelius

Enjoy this Three Point Thursday.

Sincerely,
