Imagine a hero’s journey where the hero has it easy, never has to go through challenges, doesn’t have to fight for their lives.
Would you still be interested ?
You can not change traits you refuse to admit you have.
You can not find the motivation to change by judging and guilting yourself.
You can not be strong and confident if you deny your own full experience.
Honesty, authenticity, compassion.
I realised lately how major changes seem to happen only when we hit rock bottom and get very little help.
Too much help and we get complaisant about our current situation.
None and we have no choice but to figure it out.
Sometimes it isn’t about WANTING to change but about being READY to change.
Until you hit rock bottom and can not continue on your current path, you might not be able to take the right steps towards growth.
Sometimes you have to let yourself and others hit rock bottom for changed to happen.
As unfortunate as it is, help can enable patterns of behaviour to continue and resentment to set in.

We speak about losing our minds as if it is a bad thing, but purposefully losing it will help you find yourself beyond your thoughts, beliefs and limitations.
So lose your shits in a controlled environment and see who you truely are.
There is a massive difference between two major narcissists:
The outward narcissist and their grandiose public image, who will tell you they’re better than you.
The covert narcissist and their victim mindset: they need help and they need YOU to change their lives.

I’m not a pure, perfect person.
I f*ck up daily, I hurt others, I’m complicated and confusing.
But I learn how to be better daily, to be a contribution to everyone and everything around me, and I’m self aware.
That’s all I’m looking for you as well.
You NEED an outlet.
Whatever it is: heavy metal, boxing, screaming in the middle of the woods, debating heatedly with a mate.
Let that anger out or it’ll eat you up.
You don’t learn from getting what you want straight away.
You don’t learn from having it easy.
You learn from being rejected, over and over again, from pain and heartaches.
So why don’t you seek more of that ?
You can’t teach yourself and others via violence, resentment and judgment.
No one is going to listen to you if you attack them.
The only way to truely have an impact is through curiosity, empathy, honesty and respect.
For yourself, for others, at all time.
If you’re losing self worth because of external factors (people, failures) you have an external locus of control.
This will make you very vulnerable and unstable.
Internal locus of control will give you self worth, peace, and self awareness.
You will focus on you, solely.
You can prioritise yourself and not be a selfish dick.
You can start saying no without being aggressive.
You can talk about your mental health without using it as a constant excuse for poor behaviour.
You can start being proud without being narcissistic.
Accountability, bitches.
We only have problems in life when we FEEL we have problems.
Switch your perspective: it’s a challenge, an opportunity, a lesson, a reminder.
Not a problem.
You CAN be happy around Christmas but you don’t HAVE to be.
You CAN feel like you’ve achieved a lot on December 31st but you don’t HAVE to.
You’re ALLOWED to suffer through mental health conditions in the end of year festivities.
Your mental health can be an unfair advantage if you look at it this way.
My anxiety makes me a great entrepreneur: I’m always few steps ahead and I know what can go wrong.
My ADHD makes me incredibly productive, naturally.
My depression made me genuinely empathetic.
The most valuable asset you can bring to any relationship (with yourself, friends, family, partners or children) is your undivided attention.
You can make more money, make more promises,
But once you’ve spent your time, it doesn’t come back.
