i don't know who needs to hear this but in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you’re innocent in the story you created

Take out a piece of paper and write exactly how you want life to be, in pencil. Keep that list by your bedside and look at it before you fall asleep. Ask your subconscious to change reality to fit that list. Update the list as your vision evolves. Just focus on this list and how that would make you feel on every level. Don’t measure by outward circumstances. Ask your subconscious to change your reality to fit that list, then sleep. Keep this practice up and never rest. The list always should evolve with your understanding.

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LIFE. FIND A JOB YOU ACTUALLY LOVE. I PROMISE IT IS POSSIBLE. EVEN FOR YOU. HAVE A HOBBY. TAKE A CLASS. GO TO THE GYM. TALK TO SOMEONE!! GIVE A COMPLIMENT. MAKE A PLAN. LEARN SOMETHING. SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER. BE SO CONSUMED WITH LIVING THAT YOU REMEMBER YOU ARE ALIVE.
You are alive. You are alive.
Now go build a life.
