Live the F🔥ck Out of Life -LX

Writing isn’t me showing off what I am.
It’s me documenting what I’m trying to become.

[Naval @naval]

The smartest people are all self-taught, even if they went to school.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

The world doesn’t need more passion-chasers.
It needs people who love hard things.

The ones who don’t quit when it’s boring.
The ones who still give a damn when it hurts.
The ones who know that love is not enough, unless it’s the kind that stays when it sucks.

“Good design is common sense.”
If it were, the world wouldn’t be full of shitty interfaces.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

It’s easy to want the benefits of something.
ㅤ
But if you don’t also want the costs, then you never really wanted it at all.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

Life will always be random.
Life will always be hard.
Life will always involve suffering.

But you can still choose your reaction.
You can still take responsibility.
And you can still choose which struggle to serve.

That’s where hope lives.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

We’re always trying to win at things we never even decided we wanted to win at.

We just assume that if we can be better, we should be.

And it’s exhausting.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

You’re gonna die.
I’m gonna die.
We’re all gonna fucking die.

What a circus.
And instead of actually loving each other and focusing on what matters, most of us are flattened by trivial shit.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

The comfort of not starting is stronger than the discomfort of starting.

You should start anyway.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

You should never be ashamed of who you once were.
ㅤ
You should never be ashamed of who you aspire to be.

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

TECHTOBER

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

You always want comfort, validation, success.
That’s human. Stop shaming yourself. Feel it, notice it, accept it.

Accepting it is itself a good experience.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

Anything worth doing in life sits on the other side of shame, discomfort, and failure.
It feels unnecessarily cruel, but there’s no way around it.
You have to go through all that shit to reach the good part

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

Kill the labels.
Kill the false beliefs.
Kill the identity you think you need to defend.

You’re allowed to change your mind.
You’re allowed to outgrow your own opinions.
You’re allowed to be new every damn day.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

What better way to avoid work than going to a workshop.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

Money and grades are the rent you pay to live in the world.
Fun and learning are the reason you want to live in it.
Don’t confuse one for the other.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

The second someone slaps a number, deadline, or paycheck on your curiosity, it mutates from play into performance.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

We live in a time where attention is currency.
The right figured this out a long time ago.

Every laugh, every retweet, every ironic “lol” gives that filth reach it doesn’t deserve.
Suddenly, the “funny” thing is policy, and you’re wondering how the hell we got here.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

The thing that scares you, bores you, or feels awkward is probably exactly what you need to do.

[Francisco Leiras @leirasx]

Life ain’t easy.
It’s unpredictable and uncomfortable.

And our fear of facing that pain becomes its own addiction.
