We all get shaped by adversity. All the great things that have happened to me in my life that I consider highly positive… they all started with something highly negative.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you can’t see yourself working with someone for life, don’t work with them for a day.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
You have one life. You’re dead for tens of billions of years, and you’re going to be dead for tens of billions of years.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you want to be effective in business, you need a clear, calm, cool, and collected mind.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
A busy mind accelerates the perceived passage of time. Buy more time by cultivating peace of mind.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I think the number one thing that clouds us from being able to see reality is that we have preconceived notions of the way it should be.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
You have to see this mad creature in operation before you feel a certain distaste towards it and you start separating yourself from it. In that separation is liberation.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
On the mind: It is like a monkey flinging feces, that’s running around the room, making trouble, shouting, breaking things. It’s completely uncontrollable. It’s an out-of-control mad person.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The advantage of meditation is not that you’re suddenly going to gain the superpower to control your internal state, it’s that you will recognize just how out of control your mind is.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Everything is perfect exactly the way it is. It is only in our particular minds that we’re unhappy or not happy and things are perfect or imperfect because of what we desire.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The fewer desires I can have, the more I can accept the current state of things, the less my mind is moving because the mind really exists in motion towards the future or the past.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
You have to get out of that relative mindset because if you get into that relative mindset, you’re always going to hate people who do better than you, you’re always going to be jealous, you’re going to be envious of them.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
What I find is that 90 percent of thoughts that I have are fear. 90 percent are fear based. The other 10 percent are probably desire based.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
You want to rest your mind. You want to learn how to settle into your mind. Now, I look forward to solitary confinement. You leave me alone for a day, it will be the happiest day I’ve had in awhile. That is a superpower that I think everybody can attain.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
A busy mind can often rob you of peace of mind. The peace that we seek is not peace of mind, it’s peace from mind.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
We are evolved for frequent, visible, small wins and to ignore the infrequent, hidden, catastrophic risks.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I don’t know if this generation is the last mortal generation, or the last one before we blow ourselves up.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Everyone that ends up becoming an extreme winner in society starts off as a loser.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
My biggest fear is that I’m going to die without having really lived. I think everybody has that fear at some core level.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Anything you do will fade. It will disappear, just like the human race will disappear and the planet will disappear. Get to Mars, even that group will disappear. No one is going to remember you past a certain number of generations, whether you’re an artist or a poet or a conqueror or a pauper or nothing. There’s no meaning.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The reality is you’ve been dead for the history of the universe, it’s 10 billion years or more. You will be dead for the next 70 billion years or so until the heat death of universe.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
We feel guilt when we no longer want to associate with old friends and colleagues who haven’t changed. The price, and marker, of growth.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Literally all that exists is this moment. I feel like you’re dying and being reborn at every moment. It’s just, it’s up to you to choose whether to forget it or to remember it.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
All that exists is this moment; it’s all there is. There is no future. That’s a fiction in your head that… nobody can predict the future. There is no past; nobody’s gone back even an inch in their past, not even a second, so that doesn’t exist.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I kind of feel like every moment is a death. You can’t go back to the past; no one’s ever gone back even a second. I don’t even remember what I said two minutes ago.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I do everything for me. I don’t do anything for other people. None of us do. I think we all like to pretend like we’re doing everything for other people, but the reality is, we’re always just doing it for ourselves. That’s just the truth, and so whenever people ask me why did I do X or Y or Z, it’s always for me; that’s why I did it.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
We don’t always get what we want, but sometimes what is happening is for the best. The sooner you can accept it as a reality, the sooner you can adapt to it.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
When you’re on your death bed, when you’re on your last day, you’d give up every dollar in the bank for a few days, another hour, another minute.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
This universe has been around probably for 10 billion years or more, and will be around for tens of billions of years afterwards. Your existence, my existence is just infinitesimal. It’s like a firefly blinking once in the night.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The universe has been around for a long time, and the universe is a very, very large place. If you’ll study even the smallest bit of science, for all practical purposes we are nothing. We are ameba. We are bacteria to the universe.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Judgment allows us to move through the world, but it’s also what separates us from one another. If I’m judging my friends and family, I’m separating myself from them. I’m creating a gap between us by putting them down and propping myself up.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
That feeling of disconnection, loneliness, is eventually what leads to suffering.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Over time, as you judge, judge, judge, you invariably judge people. You judge yourself. You separate yourself from everything, and then you end up lonely.
