I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
Someone once told me, 'Everyone comes into a relationship with baggage. You will either trip over each other's bags or you will unpack them together,' and that hit me. The right person will sit down and help you unpack, no matter how long it takes.
Major cheat code for life: Stop dragging yesterday into today. The argument. The mistake. The missed chance. It’s already gone. Stop reliving it. Learn fast. Forgive yourself faster. Move forward. Life happens in the direction you face.
POWERFUL: #Eagles star QB Jalen Hurts says his favorite bible verse is that you don’t know what God‘s plan is for you.
“I went through a lot of stuff in college & it kind of stuck with me– John 13:7. 'You may not know now, but later you will understand’”
At some point, you will have to disappoint others to live a life that is honest to you. People-pleasing will drain you, not save you. You have every right to set boundaries and choose your peace. You can disappoint people and still be a good person.
The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast.
Bad conversation? Move on.
Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow.
Missed workout? Hit it the next day.
Poor decision? Learn and adjust.
You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.
As a man, the most GANGSTA thing you can do is get mad at yourself for wasting your potential and then rebuild your entire life from that anger. Don't ever settle. You're made for more.
