33 Truths That Changed My Life

There is no space for me in this world unless I make one.

An unexciting life in a healthy mind and body is better than an exciting life in an unhealthy mind and body.?

Your mental health is a matter of life and death. Treat it as such.?

Do not sacrifice your true self at the altar of feeling bad that you said your truth. Hurting people’s feelings should not stop you from speaking your truth. If you have to hide or diminish yourself, and still lie about it then what is the point of life?

Your ego should not be making decisions for you. You should be better than your ego. You are what your ego wishes it was. Keep it busy at the back of your mind, and don’t let it rule you.

Envy is ignorance. Because it is only ignorance of the full scope of the life of another person that would make you wish you had said life, without knowing the full story and sacrifice.

If you have to choose between nobody and people who pull you away from your true self…choose nobody.?

There are no justified resentments. No matter what anybody says to you. No matter what kind of anger comes directed towards you. No matter how much hate you may encounter showing up in your life. There are no justified resentments. If you carry around resentment inside of you about anything or anyone…imagine the worst thing that you feel you have the right to be resentful about. I’m suggesting to you that those resentments will always end up harming you. It’s the venom after the snake bite, not the snake bite itself, that kills. You must send the blame out of your life. You have to be able to say to yourself “I am here because of the choices that I have made right now” even though we know it’s not really completely your fault.

Silence, itself, is a language.

Whatever collection of habits you’ve had has carried you almost inevitably to the outcomes that you have right now. It’s not that goals don’t matter, they’re helpful for setting a sense of direction, getting you started, and having clarity on what you’re going to focus on. But goals are good for people who care about winning once. Systems are best for people who care about winning repeatedly. If you really want to make long-term progress then you’re going to need some collection of habits, some system to get you there…and to keep you there.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

You never know when you are doing something for the last time. Treat everything important in your life as important and appreciate that.?

My life is up to me. I have to do it right.?

People are whoever they want to be, and it is not in my place to even label that as good or bad. I have no right to take anything personally. It is their world, just like it is mine. I just have to understand that and go where I align.?

Sometimes you will need to be sick of everything to learn how to cherish everything you were sick of.

Be careful of the thoughts you have of others, because you are setting the stage for the platform on which you will watch and judge yourself.?

Sometimes we are a part of a bigger chorus that we think we are a lone voice within.?You are never alone.

Every choice you make comes with some type of loss. But it doesn’t mean that you didn’t make the right choice.

No one can trigger you if you don't have the button to press already. If that button does not exist on you no one can press that button. If someone can push that button it means that that button exists. If there is no on and off button, nothing can be pressed.?

Even if no one sees it, I see it. I am spectacular.

You need to project your values and reveal who you truly are to the people you want in your life. Because making others feel warm, welcomed and at ease, it takes a lot out of you. It really does. So you can’t just do it to anybody and everybody. You only do it to the people who do the same thing back to you.

You don’t have to punish yourself to learn a lesson.

Know when to speak and to keep quiet. Know when to keep quiet even when you have something to say.

The greatest mistake you will make is to turn and start discussing your pain. What you give attention to grows. Turn your back away from the mountain. And focus on where you are headed.

Don’t go with the flow if the flow goes somewhere shitty…

You will save yourself loads of brain space if you learn to take the emotional maturity of others into account. Estimating the probable maturity level of the person you’re dealing with is one of the best ways to take care of yourself in any interaction. Once you peg a person’s maturity level, his or her responses will make more sense and be more predictable.

Accept each moment as if you chose it. As if you wrote exactly where you are because you know how the story is going to unfold

At the end of the day, the day is going to end. All will be well, and the cycle and circle of life will continue. Flow with it.?

Your goodness as a person isn’t based on how much you give in relationships, and it isn’t selfish to set limits on people who keep on taking. Your job is to take care of yourself, regardless of what others think you should be doing for them.

Any connection you build by dimming your own light is not a space you are meant to exist in.

Look within, search inside yourself. You have all the light and power inside of you. Everything you need is right there

Be intentional in everything you do, romanticize life, chase the feeling, not the desire, meditate, move slowly: pause, reflect, think, then act, learn to sit with your feelings not react to them, and be completely detached from the outcome of life. That is the recipe for a happy life.

When you commit to changing your life, be patient with the results. You’re dealing with complex systems and many people. You’ll get there. It takes time.
