I always teach physiology first as you well know. If you change the body, you'll change the emotions. If you change the emotions, you'll change your decisions and you'll change the quality of your life—because the quality of life is your emotions.

Your self-esteem, esteem for yourself, is earned by you doing something difficult for you. When you do something that's incredibly hard and you push through it, your brain starts to have inner pride, not fake ego pride.

The more you can unconditionally love others, the more you'll unconditionally love yourself. But trying to start with yourself when you're not doing it with others—forget it. It'll never happen.

I started stacking good. Like okay, let me stack a dozen great memories. Feel them, see them, experience them. And I felt this biochemical change that didn't just last a half hour, an hour, or 10 minutes; it went on for a day or two. And so, I think, I've learned to stack the good. So, just having the experience is not enough; you got to stack the good to be able to appreciate it.

I start every day in a cold plunge now ... There's never a day I look forward to it ... To me, it's a discipline; it's like training my mind.

I think this idea of loving yourself as a cultural obsession has no basis in reality.

If you go into a state of really strong anger for more than 5 minutes, your immune system is suppressed between an hour and a half to two hours. That's a physiological fact.

If you want joy, happiness, and freedom, and an extraordinary life, it will not come from blame. Never. There's no pride that comes from blame.

What are the emotions that mess people up in the relationship or their business? It's usually anger or fear ... The antidote to those is gratitude. You can't be angry and grateful simultaneously. You can't be fearful and grateful simultaneously.

If you're happy, you are deleting all the things you could be pissed off about and frustrated and worried about in the world. If you're unhappy, you're deleting all the things that are great in your life.

The path of least resistance never makes you happy ... You have to push yourself.

If you can find yourself in a place where the more value you add, the more you can grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially, then you can write your own ticket.

If I could give any lesson to my child, it's the lesson of contribution, which makes life so meaningful, [and] the depth of relationship that comes having such a deep love. I think those two things are the minimum.

You've got to decide: What do you want for your child? Because, you know, they're their own being. You're gonna have your plans, how you think they should be and then they're going to be how they are, right? But what you can shape is their value system.

Whatever you focus on, that's what you feel.

You tend to focus more on what you have or what's missing ... You tend to focus more on what you can control or what you can't control.
