Every problem in your life is one of three things:
A decision you made.
A decision you’re avoiding.
A boundary you won’t set.
Fix the right one.
Lock in like a delusional psychopath and you’ll eventually get what you want.
It’s just a matter of time.
Not everything can be resolved through kindness which is why angels carry swords not flowers.
- C. S. Lewis
I'm in love with this sentence:
"The strongest version of you is buried under the habits you're afraid to break.
Most of your stress comes from fighting what you can’t change while ignoring what you can.
Flip it.
Accept what you don’t control.
Handle what you do.
The pressure drops fast.
Watching yourself become calmer in situations that once made you angry is a beautiful kind of growth.
Kobe was right when he said:
"It's not the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice."
You can get so locked on your future self that you start hating the version doing the work right now.
Don’t.
The man you are today isn’t blocking your growth.
He’s the one building it.
You can’t control what hits you.
You never could.
But you control how long you stay down.
How long you sit in it.
How long it owns your mood, focus, and next move.
The hit isn’t the problem.
The replay is.
Get up faster.
That’s the only real edge.
Quote I can't stop thinking about..
"The Spartans trained so relentlessly that when it came time to fight an actual war, they welcomed it as a break from their training"
Imagine preparing so hard that the thing everyone else fears feels like a day off
"Observe how difficult it is to change yourself and you will understand how naive it is to try to change another person."
~ Voltaire
The more you work on yourself, the harder it becomes to deal with people who aren't working on themselves.
Your peace improves when you stop entertaining every opinion.
Not everyone deserves influence over your decisions.
Protect the direction you're working so hard to establish.
As you mature, you realize that nothing is ever a loss. It's either a redirection, protection, or a realization.
Everything works if you work!
Everything stops if you stop!
As simple as that..
Everything else is just an excuse
Stay humble and play dumb. People reveal how they feel about you when they think they are smarter than you.
