People don't reveal themselves through their words. People reveal themselves through their patterns. So many of us listen to what people say, but we don't watch what they do. So many of us look at how people look. But not how they show up, so many of us get carried away by how people treat others. But don't look it closely at how they treat us. Observe patterns and you will know the person.
life becomes so much more enjoyable when you start treating it like a game you’re actually allowed to play. think about that. you have free will, and far more choices than you probably realize. you can move somewhere new, learn something completely different, build something from nothing, change your environment, reinvent yourself, and become someone your current self wouldn’t even recognize.
a lot of the rules you think you have to follow were inherited from people who were also afraid to step outside them. you don’t have to spend your entire life playing by rules you never consciously chose.
dream bigger. want more for yourself. take the possibility of an extraordinary life seriously, even when it feels unrealistic.
because the life you keep imagining might not be as far away as you think. you may just have to stop asking for permission to go after it.
Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It's very important that you see that journey through.
