The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.

[Rajjath @Rajjath24]

turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.

i confuse people. i have a happy personality and a sad soul. i’m bold but shy. i love deeply but sometimes i feel heartless. i’m healing and hurting at the same time. i’m dedicated to growth, but i self sabotage.

This is the most dangerous personality type 💯‼️

[Skill of Life @skill_of_life]

Normalize silence after being disrespected. Your strength is measured not by reaction but by restraint.

Silence interrupts the cycle of conflict, denies reinforcement to the offender, and protects your mental space. It is a conscious boundary that signals self-control, emotional regulation, and refusal to be manipulated.

Choosing not to respond is an act of agency, it shifts power back to you, showing that your dignity is not dependent on external validation.

The curse breaker in the family will always be the outcast. The stubborn one for not wanting to do things how they've always been done. For not wanting to be around certain family members because they're violent. To keep the delusion afloat. To keep the structure in tact. If you're the chosen one in your family you'll never feel welcome or that you belong. Because you don't. You're here to pave a new path. One of truth and peace.

Conor Neill on the 3 best ways to start a speech (most people get this wrong):

"I guarantee if you go to conferences, 19 out of 20 speakers will start in one of these ways: 'My name is Conor Neill. I'm from Tango, and this talk is about the latest trend in monitoring strategies.' But all of you are sitting with a piece of paper that already says who I am and what I'm going to talk about. By repeating what you already know, I'm giving a signal that it's time to get your BlackBerry out."

Conor explains the three best ways to start instead:

Third best: A question that matters to the audience.

"How do you phrase a problem that the audience faces in a question?"

Second best: A factoid that shocks.

"There are more people alive today than have ever died. Every two minutes, the energy reaching the earth from the sun is equivalent to the whole annual energy usage of humanity. Does that change how you think about energy?"

The best way: Start like you'd start a story to a child.

"How do we start a story to a child? 'Once upon a time.' And what happens when you say once upon a time? My daughter leans forward, gets ready to hear, engages. We were all trained as kids to know when a story's coming. We also know when a teacher is about to deliver a 40-minute boring lecture."

He explains the grown-up version:

"In business, you don't hear Jack Welch saying 'once upon a time.' Steve Jobs doesn't start his speeches with 'once upon a time.' So there's a grown-up way of saying it: 'In October, the last time I was in this room, there were 120 people here. I was having a conversation with one of the world's experts on public speaking and he said something to me that changed what I think about what's important in speaking.' Now I can pause for 30 seconds, and you want to know what he said."

Conor concludes:

"Stories are about people. They're not about objects. They're not about things. If you want to tell a good story about your company, don't talk about the software talk about the people who built the software. What they do. How they are. What's important to them. What they sacrifice."

[King Roy @RoyIsThaTruth]

Anybody constantly trying to get a reaction outta you ain’t strong… they battling something inside they can’t control. All them slick comments, little jabs, weird energy… that ain’t confidence, that’s insecurity loud as hell. They want you to crash out so bad, cause for a second it make them feel like they got power over you. That’s the only win they got. But peep it… people who live in peace don’t go around disturbing others. If somebody keep poking at you, all they doing is showing you how messy their own life is. Real ones don’t try to trigger you. Only the ones bothered by your growth keep testing you. Stay solid and let them expose themselves. 📌💯

@shubhvanii What you're describing is the cost of entry for each circle

Dumb circles: entry fee is aggression
Smart circles: entry fee is competence

People respect whoever pays the price

The price just changes

[kriger @Boulahyaaa]

@shubhvanii In the trenches, peace is often mistaken for weakness. If you don't show teeth, you become prey. But as you climb into the boardrooms and elite circles, aggression becomes a liability it signals a lack of emotional control.

That uncle who kept his distance from the rest of the family will start making more sense to you as you get older.

[rose @wynrosei]

The less you take yourself seriously, the "luckier" you will get in life. Get rid of your pride and fear of embarrassment. Put yourself in situations where you will grow regardless of whether you feel like it or not. No one is watching, no one cares. You're gonna live your life, die, and be vaguely remembered for one or two generations if you had a loving family, that's about it.

[Nunnie The G @NunnieTheG]

You know you're being talked about when you start being perceived wrong. People who truly know you don't suddenly misunderstand your character.
Narratives get created when conversations about you happen without you. That's how you learn who listens to you & who listens about you!

[☺︎ @shelleddiva]

that’s why conflict often reveals the true quality of a connection. conflict is inevitable & what ppl choose to prioritize in conflict reveals their investment/intentions with the other. someone who cares about you would be fair to you, not take the first opportunity to betray.
