Picking your battles.
People will lie about anything.
Be patient… but I’m still learning it
Your only goal should be to have fun. Nothing else really matters.
Have fun before you get too old for it.
Take responsibility for your actions, immediately and thoroughly. People will appreciate and trust you for it, and being honest cuts so much anxiety from your life.
motivation aint worth shit. Real deeds are done by discipline.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Once a person shows you who they really are, believe them the 1st time.
There are very few actual bargains. Quality generally costs more.
Be scared and do it anyway. A story here on Reddit about a girl learning to dive into a poolreally helped me link a few dots on this one. I think about it often.
There is no life you “deserve”, no fate to steer you into trouble or fortune. I wish I could take this advice but situations can be like tar pits.
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity
Remain patient and focused on your goals. Don’t give up and always have faith in yourself. Sooner or later you’re gonna see the results. Just keep on going.
Stop forcing things and go with the flow, even if you feel like you’re on the wrong path, you’re still on the right path, God doesn’t make mistakes.
The less you care and accept things and people as they are, the more you adopt the mentality « yes and?/the world is not ending » the better it is going to be for your heart and mind.
Life is too short to constantly worry, live truly in the moment because the next day is not guaranteed.
dont put your dick in crazy
Look out for number 1 or you will step in number 2
The end of a relationship taught me how quickly you can go from having sh**, to not having sh**.
Don’t waste money/time on toys. Be smart with your finances and get an education so you’re not on your a** when life hands you a sh** sandwich.
Life isn’t like the movies where it all builds up to one big thing, you do it and then everything is better for the rest of your life. All about simple, repetitive, boring habits repeated over a long period of time
The obstacle is the way
Be kind, but be careful who you trust. Betrayal never comes from your enemies.
Recognize and discard the dysfunction you absorbed from parenting. Embrace the loving, functional and compassionate that was mixed in.
Had a girl once sat me down and told me ” you don’t love me you love the idea of being with me ” gave it some thought and she was right. Damn good friend she turned into and gave me insight on when a crush was just a crush not someone I wanted to pursue.
It’s never too late to change yourself for the better
Most things are not that serious. Use your time and energy wisely.
A person’s word mean nothing if the words do not match their actions.
Find out your self limiting beliefs early and crush them.
Not every battles is yours, you need to pick them very carefully
You can outgrow people and they can outgrow you. Try to avoid the sunk cost fallacy when evaluating who you keep around.
That you can do everything right, and still fail. And that’s ok.
Shut my mouth.
Nobody outside your friends or family gives a fuck about you. Even if you shit your pants in a busy hotel lobby 99% of the people would only remember a person did it but not you personal. Same goes for lesser things like looks and bad hair days. People forget you as soon as you are out of their sight.
Listen when people talk. Don’t just wait til your turn to speak.
Anyone, at any point could lose their health. Nothing is given so be happy you can walk.
