Living with the Monks: What Turning Off My Phone Taught Me about Happiness, Gratitude, and Focus
von Jesse Itzler
People are always waiting for something to happen before they change their lives. But they have it backward; when you change your life, big things are more likely to happen. Very often the process is more valuable than the outcome. As you struggle in business, with goals, at work—it’s hard to appreciate the journey. However, it is the journey that makes us feel the most alive.

When you’re young you have to laugh when everyone at the table laughs to get the deal done. Even if the joke isn’t funny. When you don’t have to laugh at those jokes any more, you’ve made it.
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.”
Are there times when quitting is the right thing to do? Of course, but quitting just because it’s easier is never the right decision. It only takes a minute to quit, but the moment will replay in your mind tomorrow, and the tomorrow after that, and the one after that.

"“We all must be trained, Jesse. The power and temptations of the outside world are great. Train yourself from the distractions. They are the enemies of your goals. Learn to move past the distractions, and you will succeed.”"
"“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.”"
