8 citate favorite din autorul meu favorit

1. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

2. Know what you want. Know why you want it.

3. How long will you further prolong your suffering in a series of short-lived near escapes, instead of crashing yourself against the wall with all your anger, for as many times as needed in order to break it down?

4. Too many people focus on being liked by others. Too few focus on being respected by others.

5. You’ve clinged so much on this self-help shit that you forgot how to actually enjoy what you’re doing. No one’s forcing you do read or do all that shit. You don’t have to.

Your rules are only here to limit your possibilities.

Who cares about time management and how others are „improving”, as long as you do something that you’re passionate about. That’s the whole point: finding something that you enjoy so much that you lose yourself in it and forget about all this „Start living your life in 30 easy steps” bullshit. ( Playing World of Warcraft for 20 hours a day doesn’t apply to my example, though ).

People find meaning in different things: in sex, in helping others, in teaching, in creating something, etc… It’s different from man to man. No one could or should tell you what should be meaningful to you.

Stop living your life according to a template.

6. Our personalities are so complex and constantly evolving, and still, we mistakenly think that if a person doesn’t like us, or something shitty outside our control happens, it says something about us. Whereas, when we finally realize that who we are as people isn’t really related to the way a random event happens; When we realize that there’s so many things that create our self-image, and define who we are, we can finally let all this games and fear go, and focus on having fun and appreciate the moments that trully mater to us.

7. Scarcity mentality or abundance mentality is about potential ( or lack of ), not about whatever happened in your past.

8. Your actions define yourself. Words, visualisations, inspirational readings, movies and other forms of mental masturbation are useless if they aren’t congruent with what you do for yourself.

Of course, actions matter more when you are aware of it and learn to appreciate yourself for that. And when you learn the importance of taking small steps.

Everything matters. Every little step, every action you take ( or lack of ), no matter how insignificant seems, matters. You either push yourself forward or reject yourself. It all reflects on your self-esteem.

If all you do is quitting, making excuses and feeling sorry for yourself, guess what your life is gonna be all about…
