There are only two kinds of things in life.
1. The kind of things that you can control.
2. The kind of things you cannot control.
If you cannot control something, complaining about it is stupid and a waste of time because you cannot control it so what’s the point of talking about it?
Or
you have the other kind of thing, the kind of thing that you can control… like your intentions, like your behaviour, like your actions. And since you can control it, who do you expect to help you out except yourself? So stop complaining about that too.
Whether it’s the kind of thing you can control or the kind of thing you cannot control, stop complaining.

Men are forever disturbed, not by things or people, but by principles and ideas.
Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to wait until it's too late? Put your principles into practice- now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination
This is your life. You aren’t a child anymore.

All humans adapt to their environment.
It is both a blessing and a curse.
"Normal" is a very powerful concept.
Normal leads to acceptance.
Acceptance leads to inaction.
And only action changes lives.
Look around yourself.
What is your normal?
Is it normal for you to be poor? Weak? Alone? Stupid?
Is this your normal?
Is this what you've allowed your body and mind to be accustomed to?
You need to be very aware of what you consider normal.
Normal is where you will naturally end up.

We are all running from pain.
Some of us take pills.
Some of us read novels.
Some of us watch Netflix.
We’ll do almost anything to distract ourselves from ourselves.
Yet all this trying to insulate ourselves from pain seems only to have made our pain worse.
Do not forget to sit down with yourself for 30 minutes today.
You’ve given yourself too much damage to survive.
It’s the least you can do.

“A fight is going on inside me" he said.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."
The lord continued.
“The other is good- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you- and inside every other person, too."
The man thought about it for a minute and asked...
“So which wolf will win?"
“The one you feed".

Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy over trying to understand why something happened the way it did.
Please let it go.

People say you never know what you have until you lose it.
But I think people know exactly what they have, they just think they'll never lose it.

"You give them A, they give you B, and now it’s done.
It’s a one-off trade. You haven’t laden them with any debt, you haven’t laden them with any loyalty. You haven't laden them with any guilt.
Avoid debt yourself, but offer it to others."

If a male enjoys dressing up and behaving like a woman, he was born that way.
If a female enjoys dressing up and behaving like a woman, she was brainwashed by society.

The reason you’re stressed is you have decisions to make - and you’re not making them.

I used to hate things ending.
Chapters ending, movies finishing, people leaving.
But I’ve learned that it's okay for things to end. Nothing is meant to last forever.
Sometimes you need change to move on. To get to the next step of your life.
We lose people. Despite our best efforts, we have to let relationships go. It’s a hard fact of life.
One that will happen many times over the course of our lives. And each person we have to let go hurts.
It doesn’t necessarily get easier.
But we do get stronger.
As uncomfortable as it can be, it is the law of nature.
As uncomfortable as it can be, sometimes it is for the best.
Eventually, you’ll have to let go of every person you’ve ever met.
And in the end, it’s much easier to decide that it’s time to let go of it than it is to have it forcibly taken from you.
