Do Epic Shit

The pro is the amateur who simply showed up every day.

Sit on as many chairs as you can before you find the one chair on which you feel you belong.

This book is not going to be a revelation. It is meant to be a reminder. A reminder of how life happens to all of us, in a similar yet unequal fashion.

It is better to be busy in the chase of finding yourself instead of being busy in the rat race and never know yourself.

Persistence isn’t a one-day miracle. It is a conscious choice translated into habit.

Only when you go against the flow will you find your own flow.

It takes effort to find love. It takes effort to feel fulfilled. It takes effort to be fit. It takes effort to be happy. Which is why most of us do not have love, fulfilment, happiness or fitness in our life.

Time goes away and leaves us with only one of these two things: regret or results.

Who you spend time with will define the stories you hear. The stories you hear will define the stories in your head. The stories in your head will define you.

If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.

Ego is a bubble. Instead of bursting it and seeing what all lies outside, we invest most of our energy protecting it.

In a world filled with people living their lives for someone else, a truly well-lived life, is the one where we stay true to our own selves.

We crave novelty, yet settle for a one- career life.

Build a team so strong that someone from the outside doesn't know who the boss is!

It is not the privilege that harms us. It is our lack of awareness of our own privilege that harms us.

Nothing beats the feeling of having done more in twenty-four hours than what the day expected you to!

People will help you only when you have helped them understand how they can.

Ninety-nine per cent of people want to be led. They want to be told what to do, and then they will go on to do their best. They want to be led. Not managed.

We say yes more often just because we want people to feel good about us! We thus end up feeling worse because of these tiny betrayals.

Safe is better than sorry. Nope. Risk is better than regret.

A year from now, you will never be sure of the results. But you can certainly be sure of regret, if you don’t start today.

No one sees the multiple failures before that one ‘huge success’.

The world will constantly be defining success and failure for you. Realizing this is what is called self-awareness.

Your actions decide your luck. So does your lack of actions. Luck isn’t really good fortune.

Luck happens to those that make things happen.

They can’t read our thoughts. All they see is what we do. It does not matter what we say. What matters is what they see us doing. Commitments are nothing if not backed up with actions.

How we think of our problems is how the world will think of our problems.

Commitments are nothing if not backed up with actions.

We know ourselves through our thoughts. But we know others through their actions. That is true for others as well. They can’t read our thoughts. All they see is what we do. It does not matter what we say. What matters is what they see us doing.
