Uncommon advice:
If you don't know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.
Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.

The quickest way to “get your spark back” is to literally light yourself on fire. You’ve got to burn baby. You’re depressed bc you’re not being insane enough. Double. Down. The world does not reward half ass. All in or out. You’re thinking too small. You’ve accepted your current reality as the only reality. Bullshit. You need to write a list of the most insane asks you could ever dream of. “I am a NYT best selling author. I am the founder of a Fortune 500 company. I paint for a living and I make a damn good living.” Ask and you shall receive. Embody and you become. Flip the fucking script. Your current ceiling is now the floor. Level up.
You need to burn.
there's a beautiful sunnah of making things easy for people. whether it's forgiving a mistake, explaining something patiently, or helping someone without making them feel embarrassed, kindness has always been part of the prophetic way.
I remember very well when i was around 12, how i used to be so expressive with my opinions and feelings, until someone snapped at me, hard. And that has lived with me until now.
Becuse of that, i believe i started being overly self-conscious almost everything.
