there is a theory that depression is the soul’s way of rejecting the life you’re forcing yourself to live. your spirit shuts down when you’re too far from your purpose, people or path.
cut the habits that waste your time, delete the distractions, let go of the memories that keep pulling you backward, stop forcing conversations with people who no longer align with you, say no without guilt, protect your attention & make room for what actually moves you forward.
Self-discovery is such a cool thing about adulthood. Finding out what you like and what you don’t, who you are, what you desire, what your style is and also accepting that all that can change as well.
My therapist told me that
"There's a theory that depression is sometimes the soul's way of rejecting the life you're forcing yourself to live. It's not failure it's misalignment. Your spirit shuts down when you're too far from your purpose, people, or path." And then it all made sense.
Major cheat code for life: Make peace with being unimpressive to the outside world. Drive the normal car. Wear the simple clothes. Live below your means. Stay in the committed relationship. The ability to look ordinary while building an extraordinary life is wildly underrated.
Stop treating housekeeping like a punishment. Put on music, light the candles, burn the incense, and romanticize it. You’re not cleaning the house… you’re restoring order to your little kingdom.
Man, there is nothing...absolutely nothing..that will fuel you more than anger at something.
You want to succeed? Don't be afraid to be angry.
Be angry at your poverty, your terrible life, at injustice you felt, at whatever it is...and channel that into a monster of success.
People don’t understand the impact of a good environment. It can change you in the most profound ways mentally and emotionally. The spaces and people you’re around shape your mindset more than you realize. When your environment is healthy, you respond better to everything.
You need to have hobbies/routines that stimulate your mind, increase your consciousness + aura, make you prettier, & cleanse you spiritually. Learn a new language, watch documentaries, read, write poetry, express yourself creatively, massage & dry brush your body, pray every day
The world has too many celebrities. It needs more servants.
Too many influencers. It needs more builders.
Too many critics. It needs more creators.
Leadership is not standing above people.
Leadership is standing first when others are afraid to move.
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.”
If you’re an anxious person, just do everything for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. ANXIETY FEEDS ON IMPORTANCE. Do not make everything a matter of life and deaťh.
