Don’t ask a question if you don’t want to hear the answer. Lots of times we think we want to know, but we really only want one answer.
Is your ex seeing someone else? Do you really want to know? If you don’t want to know, don’t ask.
If you’re asking a close friend, then you can tell them up front that you’d like them to lie, and then you ask the question. But otherwise, if you don’t want to know the answer, don’t ask the question.
You can win at poker, or in baseball or playing scrabble. You can’t win at life. When we compare ourselves to other people in life, we’re trying to win life.
There’s always someone who is better looking, has more money, has a nicer house, etc, etc. Why waste your time and energy trying to win something that cannot be won.
Life is just a series of moments. So enjoy the moments of your life. Be the best self that you can be. And don’t worry about the winning.
Be careful what you put into the world, because it’s coming back. The universe is just energy. Our bodies are also just energy. So it makes sense that the energy that you put out into the universe has an effect.
Bad things happen to everyone. But have you ever noticed that the people who are always complaining, and cynical, tend to have a lot of bad things happen to them?
Think about the energy you put out into the world. Is it what you want coming back to you?
Life is made up of routines. And routines are great. But too much of anything is a bad thing.
Mix up your routine sometimes. Do something different. Go to a park you haven’t been to. Go to an event at the library. Go watch a sporting event. Go for a walk.
Do something different. Don’t let your routines become your life.
Sometimes life has a lot going on. Transitions can be hard to deal with. Sometimes when there’s a lot happening, you feel overwhelmed by it all.
It’s okay to feel the stress. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Give yourself permission to have your feelings. Embrace them. Process them. Then take a good look at the situation in front of you and make a plan for getting through it.
Chances are the plan you make won’t look like how it works out eventually, but that doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you make the plan, so you know that there is a way for it to work out in the end.
Don’t stress out about being stressed out. It’s okay now. And it’s all going to be okay.
We all feel different. We all feel unique. Sometimes we feel like other people don’t understand us because we are different.
But here’s the thing; we’re all different. Each of us is unique. The fact that you’re different doesn’t make you different, it’s the one thing that everyone has in common.
So the next time you’re feeling like an outsider, or like no one understands who you are, just remember that everyone around you feels the same way. Because we’re all different, and unique.
Why dream about doing things? If you want to do something, then make it happen.
People create bucket lists and dream about all of the things that they think they want to do someday. But there’s no such thing as someday. Every day is your life right now, and you’re either working towards the things you want, or you’re not.
So if you want to skydive, or scuba dive, or cliff dive, then go do it. Or if you can’t afford your dream right now, then open a bank account, and put aside whatever you can afford, and save up for it. I guarantee you can save more money than you think you can.
Maybe it’s something big, like travelling to New Zealand. Maybe it will take you 10 years to save up for it. That’s fine. Forget the bucket list, start saving, and you can say, “I’m going to New Zealand in 2029.”
Don’t wait to live your life. Kick the bucket list and live the life you want.
Whether you’re in high school, college, or you’re working, one of the best ways to meet new people and broaden your experiences is to join a club.
Maybe it’s something that already your hobby, or maybe it’s something new you want to try, but either way, put yourself out there.
It’s easy to settle into a routine and keep doing the things that you’re comfortable with. But you won’t grow that way; you won’t meet new people; you won’t expand your life.
So join a club, meet new people, and live the fullest life you can.
What could you achieve if you didn’t have anything in your way? What if the biggest thing in your way is actually you?
There are real things that get in our way in life, but most of the time we hold ourselves back. It’s scary to try new things, meet new people, put yourself out there in a way you’ve never done before.
But your life won’t get better if you don’t think bigger and do those scary things.
What do you really want? Think bigger, and go get it!
There’s a saying that you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. This can be a good thing, or a bad thing.
The people we spend the most time with have a huge impact on our attitude, our outlook on life, and our view of the future.
Think about the five people that you spend the most time with. Do they make your life better, or worse? Would your quality of life be better if you surrounded yourself with better people?
