I like “You miss all of the shots you don’t take.” I think Wayne Gretzky said it, but people sometimes also credit Michael Jordan.

Another fun version is “You can’t win if you don’t play.” My friend said this in the course of slowly losing like $4,000 at a blackjack table. The context and outcome serve as sort of a counter argument to the statement.

Edit: He did manage to sleep with the blackjack dealer (who was fairly attractive), so perhaps he still won.

This was me in college. You don’t realize how much getting baked everyday takes from you because it happens so gradually when you start. Quit and try to slowly start working out…give it a month and you’ll be surprised by the improvement. Also maybe delete the dating apps…pretty useless distraction from other shit that could actually improve your life ime.

“I used to have confidence, I used to have a strict discipline routine, I used to meditate everyday and write a journal everday, but since I have started smoking weed daily, it's all going away.”

The best guidance I can give would be to stop smoking weed. Full stop. It’s a motivation killer, and it isn’t doing you any favors. I can guarantee that a schedule will be way easier to stick to if you just quit smoking.
