Human approval is unstable. Someone may praise you today and criticize you tomorrow, so it's wiser to anchor your life in deeper principles than in other people's opinions.
Highly recommend letting people know you're capable of madness from time to time. Especially if you're a quiet, soft spoken person. Disrespect sometimes needs to be met with disrespect.. let mfers know you can go from 0-100 real quick.
A gazelle wakes up knowing he must outrun the fastest lion or perish.
At the same time, a lion stirs and stretches, knowing he must outrun the fastest gazelle or starve.
whether you consider yourself to be a gazelle or a lion,you simply have to run faster than others to survive.
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.”
The funny thing about taking a chance on yourself is that if it doesn’t work out, you usually end up in the same place you started, except smarter.
When you look at it that way, it makes sense to take more chances in life, not fewer.
