Dreams without goals are just dreams, and they ultimately fuel disappointment.
It doesn't matter to me any longer how long I live, what matters to me most is how I live.
I won't have a problem with you if you aim high and miss, but I will have a real problem if you aim low and hit.
If you’re going to do a job, do it right.
The way certain people behave has a lot more to do with their thoughts than you. Maturity is to not engage with them when they try to provoke you. Their power lies in your response. Reject their invitation to conflict with indifference. Guard your peace. Your health is important.
A better life starts with small, consistent, boring actions you repeat day after day, even when you don't feel like it. One day you turn back and realise you have come farther than you could imagine. Allow life to change for the better.
When you take ownership of your future, things start happening. Excuses build bridges to nowhere. Don't wait for someone to rescue you. Don't wait for circumstances to be perfect. Be messy, be slow but be consistent. That's the secret to making it big.
To compare yourself against others only exhausted and stresses you. You are growing at your pace. Your goals are different from others. Your circumstances are unique. Your timeline is only yours. Focus on improving yourself each day, no matter what's happening around you.
There is no benefit in seeking revenge. It's like glueing yourself to a situation that reminds you of deep pain and blocks your progress towards something better. If they hurt you, leave them to karma. Don't give them room in your mind any further. Focus on healing and moving on.
Find happiness in ordinary things. The weight you carry on your shoulders needs a break. A little positivity in your thoughts will help you carry greater struggle with hope and energy. Noticing a little joyful thing when you are hurt helps a lot.
It is liberating to know you are strong enough to handle the challenges of life. It is calming to know that you will bounce back if things don't work out the way you desire. No defeat defines you. No failure is final. What's meant for you will choose you.
If you made wrong choice and realized the mistake much later, it's okay. Even if it changed course of your life drastically, it's still okay. You did what you felt was best. You have already suffered a lot due to that. Worrying is a waste of time. Forgive yourself.
If you have a dream that lights up your soul, chase it. Believe that you are strong enough to move mountains. Believe that in the moments of uncertainty, you will figure out a way to move forward. Things work out for those who believe in themselves.
You don't need more time to chase your dreams. You need to spend less time on people and things that aren't supporting your growth. You don't need to rush. Just shift your focus away from distractions. Time is precious. Invest it on the right things.
Think good thoughts. Protect your mind. What your mind consumes shapes your thoughts. Your thoughts lead your actions. Your actions change your life for better or worse. Get rid of what drains you. Embrace what pushes you towards your dream life.
Self care is being honest with yourself about your negative habits. It's taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. It's diverting from negative space to positive one. It's creating balance. It's watering your own garden. It's being gentle but honest with yourself.
Sometimes you have to take risks to see how far you can go. Comfort zone keeps you trapped in the same stagnant place. If you don't take a chance you will never explore your potential. Be ok with failure. Be ok with mistakes. They are part of the process.
Some people will like you and some won't. And it's ok. You don't like many people either. You aren't meant to be everyone's cup of tea. Don't chase. Teach people to treat you right. Choose those who see the value your presence brings. Others don't matter.
Don't chase people who don't value you. Don't stay at places where you feel more exhausted than excited. Don't expect respect from someone who is never willing to meet you halfway. If they can't honor your presence, they deserve your absence.
Your life isn't meant to be a checklist given by others. Give yourself permission to experience life beyond accomplishing something. It's a delicate balance of achieving goals and being present to enjoy the moment. Do good and feel alive.
Believe that life is done testing you and will start giving you more than it took away from you. The wait might have been long but it's about to be over now.
Do something today to get closer to your goals. Even if something goes wrong, you will learn and recover. You don't have to figure out your entire life today. Make that one call. Go for that one discussion. Step out and show up. That's enough for today.
None of us is easy. None of us is perfect. But if you find someone who believes in you on your worst days and has your back when you are falling apart, they are worth taking chance with. To have someone appreciate and understand you is the greatest blessing.
No relationship is easy. Everyone has low days and they can be difficult. What matters is if they understand what hurt you, they make room for your point with an open mind, they don't go cold, they try to fix the issue.
Most of your fears are your mind going on overthinking overdrive. Life isn't as bad as your thoughts make it to be. Control thoughts and filter negativity. Tell yourself it's all fine. Keep the mind occupied with pursuing what you enjoy. Be kind to someone. Trust your power.
