You wanted a storybook life. You got a messy, beautiful, honest one instead. That’s called winning — but hey, cry about it if it makes you feel special.
Some real life truths this Saturday morning … my friends …. YOU …. Are …. Capable ❤️❣️…
Pls save this post for a rainy ☔️ day …hit the little book mark on the bottom right on this post and save it when you need it!!! Also, hit that arrow/paper plane right under this post and send this to “that person in your life” who needs this badly 🔨🔨🔨
You can only watch training, listen to podcasts, and read books for so long.
At some point, you need to step in the ring and get punched in the face.
And once you do, you’ll learn the most important lesson: it’ll hurt, you’ll get better - and most importantly - you’ll survive.
Artists bragging about how lucrative booth sales are never fail to amuse me. Define lucrative. Selling $20 prints all day? Cute. High-ticket sales happen in high-ticket locations. Know the game.
Artists love to think good work goes viral overnight. Spoiler: it doesn’t. Hell, it won’t even get you a pay bump right away. Keep grinding in the dark—because the world’s not paying attention until it is.
“If a person gave away your body to some passerby you’d be furious. Yet you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled. Have you no shame in that.” — Epictetus

192k adults, 30 countries: People with poor reasoning skills are more likely to see human nature as selfish and untrustworthy.
A sign of wisdom is refusing to expect the worst in others.
The monetization of everything has made so much of life homogenized and boring. It feels like more people have a content strategy than a genuine personality.
Queen 👸 Victoria once controlled 35.5 Million square kilometers of land during her peak reign, and you probably haven’t thought about her once. Odds are you won’t achieve that much either. Maybe stop worrying what others think.
Comeback stories are only written by people who started late, wondered if they were too old, or thought they missed out.
You can’t have a comeback without first being back.
Maybe what looks like a disadvantage becomes part of the story you always wanted to someday tell.
You can't take a shit without scrolling. You can't drive without music. You can't even walk without headphones. The reason why you feel like you're losing your fucking mind is because you don't have any focused quiet time.
Yes, social media is a popularity contest. But if your content sucks, it’s not a conspiracy—it’s the free market. The Academy doesn’t hand out Oscars to guys filming their breakfast in bad lighting. #rulesofthegame#virality
