A great definition of Entitlement

 Where you are now ->where you want to be

If you want to do something about it - that's ambition 

Where you are now -> where you want to be

If you think that's someone else's problem - that's entitlement 

~ Jimmy Carr


A great line on resentment...

If you think someone has ruined your life, you're right.

It's you.

~ Friedrich Nietzsche

The saddest goodbye ever

 Have a good life...

The last words Sam said to Diane, on Cheers (1987)


Some do, some don't

Not having kids is like playing life on easy mode with a cheat code. You think you have skin in the game… but you don’t. Having kids is like your heart living outside your body. The stakes suddenly feel real.
 ~ Jimmy Carr 

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
~ Elizabeth Stone

Lessons yet to be learned

Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool

Zig knows a thing or two

If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you. 
 ~ Zig Ziglar

The only thing worse than Date Night is never having Date Night...

Charlie Sheen and Bill Maher:

Bill: “Whenever these people get divorced in the media, the celebrities and they're always like, ‘What went wrong?’ Nothing went wrong. They were married 20 years. That's what went wrong. Time went wrong” 

Charlie: “How do you feel about married couples that still have a date night on year 23?” 

Bill: “Please put a bullet past my tongue if I ever have to have a fucking date night” 

Charlie: “I cringe at those. They're cute and I'd like to root for it, but I know how they're both feeling at that dinner” 

Bill: “To schedule sex is just so gross. It's the worst perversion there is”

I'm right there with you

 I just never expected, at this age, to feel so alone...

~ Samantha, to Coop, on Your Friends and Neighbors

Very little, indeed...

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
~ Marcus Aurelius

Happiness = quality of life minus envy

We’re living better than 99.9 percent of humans who ever walked the earth - hot showers, modern medicine, endless entertainment, kids that actually survive infancy.

Yet so many of us feel miserable. 

We get used to how good we have it, then compare ourselves to everyone else and tank our own happiness. 

Happiness = quality of life minus envy. 

~ Jimmy Carr
