Powerful Insights From Robert Greene:

“If you can’t be bored and take a notebook and start writing things out about your childhood, about who you are, about who you love and what you hate, [...] there’s no hope for you.”

“If there’s so much injustice against you, there’s your cause. There’s your energy.There’s your hope.”

“You have to make a choice. Do I want something else for myself or do I just want to wallow in self-pity and blame other people?”

“Train yourself to be happy for other people’s success. You won’t believe what a great relief it is and how it will help you and benefit you therapeutically in your mind in general to be happy to celebrate other people’s success.”

“Be aware that your mind is so active that you have to have something to fill it, but it’s your choice whether you’re going to consume mindless stuff or if you’re going to actually use that restless active brain of yours and put it to some incredible function.”
