Mark Manson said this quote

When the standard of success becomes merely acting—when any result is regarded as progress and important, when inspiration is seen as a reward rather than a prerequisite—we propel ourselves ahead. We feel free to fail, and that failure moves us forward.

~ Mark Manson

Action isn’t just the effect of motivation, it’s also the cause of it.

~ Mark Manson

We don’t actually know what a positive or negative experience is. Some of the most difficult and stressful moments of our lives also end up being the most formative and motivating. Some of the best and most gratifying experiences of our lives are also the most distracting and demotivating. Don’t trust your conception of positive/negative experiences. All that we know for certain is what hurts in the moment and what doesn’t. And that’s not worth much.

~ Mark Manson

Being wrong opens us up to the possibility of change. Being wrong brings the opportunity for growth.

~ Mark Manson
