Some days, the only thing you need to get you out of the really bad place you're in are your hobbies (reading, gaming.......), and in a few months, when you're finally feeling better, these hobbies become distractions from your peak performance in society. Limits are best imposed on everything we do, for nothing is good in entirety.

Do you ever feel stuck, like one decision could lock you in for life? Sometimes we get so caught up in the immediate appeal of a choice – a dream house, a great job – that we forget about the ripple effects. One big choice can shape hundreds of smaller ones down the line. 🤔
Imagine two scenarios: 🏡 settling in one place forever or ✈️ experiencing life in different corners of the world. Which path excites you more?
Thinking about the life you want in the long run can help you make the right big choices today. ✨

The healer also needs healing.
The planner also needs surprises.
The giver also needs to receive.
The thoughtful also needs to be thought of.
The considerate also needs to be considered.
The compassionate also needs to receive empathy.

I have the kind of courage you will not understand. I am far from blind, far from indifferent. I will not add to the despair of the world. I am working on counterpoison. I create a space in which people can breathe, restore their faith and strength to live. ~Anais Nin

9 hours a day.
11 days a month.
136 days a year.

mom was always right, it was the damn phone.

Imagine you're talking to God about the person you want to become...
- You say "I want to be courageous."
- God replies "Then I will give you monsters to terrify you. That way you can conquer them."
You say "I want to be patient."
- God replies "Then I will make you work harder and longer. That way you can learn to wait."
- You say "I want to be wise."
God replies "Then I will give you failures that will crush your spirit. That way you can learn the value of judgment."
- You then say... "That sounds like a hard life.
Can you give me a good life?"
- God replies "Just like we measure the quality of a blacksmith by the strength of his steel, I measure you by what you are at the end, not the fire and the hammer it took to make you. A good life isn't an easy life. A good life makes you into a good person. And that, my child, is a hard life."

“You always learn from observing. You have to pick things up nonverbally because people will never tell you what you’re supposed to know. You have to get it for yourself: whatever it is that you need in order to survive. You become strong by doing the things you need to be strong for. This is the way genuine learning takes place.”

Mike Posner's 5 Lessons on happiness from the Ted Talk
1. Not all crazy ideas are great, but all great ideas are crazy. Sometimes, you have to pursue an idea that others might deem "crazy" to achieve great things.
2. Step one is to take one step. The first step is always the hardest. Once you take that first step, the rest will become easier.
3. When it comes to things you care about, your reasons to quit are always excuses in disguise. Don't let fear or self-doubt hold you back from pursuing your dreams.
4. True happiness comes from growth. Stepping outside of your comfort zone and challenging yourself is essential for personal growth and happiness.
5. Don't wait. Don't put off your dreams or goals. Start working towards them today.
