@rumilyrics You only need one win to show yourself it's possible...
One sale, one client, one vision.
That's all.
Once you do this, your mind opens up to new possibilities and thus change happens.
Keep going.
Forces that build the inner self:
- Patience
- Reverence
- Gentleness
- Truthfulness
- Devotion to the work
Forces that tear it down:
- Vanity
- Impatience
- Harshness
- Constant criticism
- Craving for results
Pour all your attention, energy and time into the next step.
That’s all you have to do.
In doing so, you dissolve the weight of what was and the anxiety of what might be. You start living in reality. And in that narrow space of the present moment, you’ll find peace that doesn’t depend on anything outside of you.
It's unfortunate how many people get this wrong.
The KEY to getting in good shape is falling in love with the boredom of repetition.
Here's why:
Your days are going to be filled doing the same thing, day after day, to get the outcome you want.
Same meals.
Same schedule.
Same fitness regime.
If you can find excitement in the mundane, then getting into shape is simply a matter of time.
Keep going.
You have no strength because you won't conquer one bad habit.
You have no skill because you won't give your work your full mind.
You have no peace because you keep blaming everyone else.
You feel restless, weak, and behind because your character wants to be built and you keep laying rotten bricks.
Eight habits worth guarding:
- What you attempt
- The ideas you let in
- The actions you take
- The words you speak
- The choices you make
- How you run your whole life
- What you learn from each day
- The time you sit alone with yourself
A peaceful life, in practice:
- Drop the feuds
- Stop tearing down reputations
- Watch for the good in everything
- Get over old griefs and grievances
- Don't take sides on what you don't understand
A peaceful life is the only life worth living.
@DearS_o_n Consistency is about being adaptable.
If you don't have much time, scale it down.
If you don't have much motivation, just start small.
If you don't have much energy, do the easy version.
Adapt your approach to fit your reality.
80% of success is showing up.
Tell no one...
Because there are people out there driven by so much jealousy, anger and envy, they will go out of their way just to see you fail
And you never truly know what someone is thinking.
In front of you, they could be praising you for setting such high goals...
But behind your back, hoping you fail.
You don't want that negative energy around you.
Keep it to yourself. Privacy is power.

@DearS_o_n Embrace the highs and the lows.
You're going to need to learn all those lessons so when you get to where you’re going, you don’t fumble the opportunity
@mindsetmachine And remember:
When you're installing new habits into your routine, don't go more than two days without doing the habit.
A habit missed once is an accident.
A habit missed twice is the start of a new habit.
Most people live sad lives because they give so much power to a certain set of individuals in their lives, which makes them avoid certain risks, behaviours, and actions.
They start living defensively instead of deliberately, constantly filtering choices through imagined consequences.
Over time, that fear calcifies into habit, and habit turns into a resentment toward life itself.
You're in control.
Act like it.
@DearS_o_n Not only that, most of your “mental” problems also disappear when you develop the courage to chase a meaningful goal.
An anxious mind thrives in an idle life.
@Nithya_Shrii Your circle starts with you.
The people you attract are the result of the habits you embody, the frame of mind you see life through and the standards you live by.
So, if you want to change who you surround yourself with...
Change yourself first.
Like attracts like.
@DearS_o_n Think back to all the times you thought you couldn't overcome the struggles.
Yet here you are. You did.
That's evidence that you can figure out the hardships you're currently going through.
Keep pushing.
