A plan without a purpose is like a recipe without hunger.
One person’s enough might be too much for their neighbor.
The future is birthed from a series of nows.
Tactics often expire, but principles are timeless.
Everything that is easy today was once a struggle.
The desire for things is the problem, not the things themselves.
Anger is a symptom of broken expectations.
Hatred is merely love in disgust.
You are not in love—love is in you.

Guys! This was a great episode. I have enjoyed your content and Ramit's separately, and so to see both come together was like an explosion of amazingness, haha. It also made me aware of Ramit's new Netflix show, which I really enjoyed! Thank you!
Another great episode guys, I've recently been watching the new series on Netflix and it's so good. Keep up the good work. Dan, Hull UK.
