Quotes:

  • “I mean, think about the isolation, the political stress, the social media division. So, overthinking only multiplied in the last year.” – Jon Acuff
  • “You have to get rid of the word ‘over’ because ‘over’ is a word of perfectionism. ‘Over’ indicates there’s one wall, you climb over it and you’re all done. What you should say instead is, ‘how do I go through imposter syndrome?’” – Jon Acuff
  • “Most people don’t understand they get to choose their thoughts. They think a thought is something they have, not something they hone.” – Jon Acuff
  • “Some people let life happen to them, but it’s important to happen to life instead.” – Derrick Kinney
  • “If you find something positive that you want to remember, that you want to repeat, give yourself a fighting chance of it working and tie it to a symbol.” – Jon Acuff
  • “People who are always escaping the moment are only seeing the things that they didn’t do, not the things they did do.” – Jon Acuff
  • “There’s no time suck like a fake problem.” – Jon Acuff
  • “I like to tell people, when you ask somebody what they need, they become visible and valuable.” – Jon Acuff
  • “If you work at a company with 10,000 people, you’re still the CEO of you.” – Jon Acuff
