Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Pick your one overwhelming desire. It’s okay to suffer over that one. But on all the other desires, let them go so you can be calm and peaceful and relaxed.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you want to operate at peak performance, you have to learn how to tame your mind.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you have an unswerving desire to do something, then usually you’ll get it.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
To the experts, what looks like hard work from the outside, is play from the inside.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Mentors won’t make you rich. Doctors won’t make you healthy. Nutritionists won’t make you slim. Teachers won’t make you smart. Gurus won’t make you calm. Trainers won’t make you fit. Ultimately, you have to take responsibility. Save yourself.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
A happy, calm, and peaceful person will make better decisions. So if you want to operate at peak performance, you have to learn how to tame your mind.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Your goal in life is to find out the people who need you the most, to find out the business that needs you the most, to find the project and the art that needs you the most. There is something out there just for you.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
In a billion dollar company, the employees aren’t working any harder than people in a million dollar company. They’re just doing the right things.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Work as hard as you can. Even though what you work on and who you work with are more important.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The modern mind is overstimulated and the modern body is understimulated and overfed. Meditation, exercise, and fasting restore an ancient balance.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If you could literally just sit for 30 minutes and be happy, you are successful.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
As long as you can keep taking shots on goal, and you keep getting back up, eventually you’ll get through. Just stick at it.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
If it entertains you now but will bore you someday, it’s a distraction. Keep looking.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The best way, perhaps the only way, to change others is to become an example.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
You’re meant to do something. You’re not just meant to lie there in the sand and meditate all day long. You should self-actualize. You should do what you are meant to do.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
No one can compete with you on being you, no one can compete with me on being me, so when I think about what my profession, what my job, what my work is, it’s just being me.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
On who he considers successful: to me the real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely, who don’t even play the game; who rise above it. Those are the people who have such internal mental and self control and self awareness that they need nothing from anybody else.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Being a founder is brutally difficult. It takes a long time and in the long run, the people who succeed are just the ones who persevere.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
No one can compete with you if you love to do it. Be authentic and then figure out how to map that to what society actually wants, apply some leverage, put your name on it so you take the risks but you gain the rewards, have ownership and equity in what you do, and then just crank it out.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Once you’ve truly controlled your own fate, for better or for worse, you’ll never let anyone else tell you what to do.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Asymmetric opportunities: Invest in startups. Start a company. Create a book, podcast, video. Create a (software) product. Go on many first dates. Go to a cocktail party. Read a Lindy book. Move to a big city. Buy Bitcoin. Tweet.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
A contrarian isn’t one who always objects – that’s a conformist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Figure out what you’re good at and start helping other people with it; give it away. Pay it forward. Karma sort of works because people are very consistent. On a long enough timescale, you will attract what you project.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
The best way to prepare for the future 20 years is find something you love to do, to have a shot at being one of the best people in the world at it. Build an independent brand around it, with your name, not a company’s name or other people’s names around it. Try to make a creative work, so you’ll stay interesting, stay ahead of the game.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
Today in society you get rewarded for creative work, for creating something brand new that society didn’t even know that it wanted that it doesn’t yet know how to get, other than through you.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
I want to see truth. I want to see the world the way it is. Not through my filters. Not through my desires. Not through the way that other people want me to see it. And I want to accept it the way it is.
