One thing poverty stole from a lot of people is the ability to make mistakes.

Every decision has to work.

Unlearn shame. All kinds of shame: abuse, unemployment, sickness, vulnerability, longing, desire, mistakes, failures. You need not be ashamed of what you're feeling or living. Freedom and shame cannot coexist.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Secret weapon for life: Be the type of person who's easy to be around. Speak when it adds value. Be quiet when you have something to learn. Stay calm when things go sideways. Laugh more than you complain. Most of all, be steady. Steady wins trust. Trust wins everything.

When you can’t be controlled, you’ll be hated.

Be prepared

Lukewarm take: we need to stop using mental health/therapy buzzwords in day to day life. Not everyone you dislike is a narcissist. Being sad doesn’t mean you’re depressed. There’s a resounding difference between being nervous and having anxiety. You’re not ADHD because you don’t like to sit still. You’re not autistic because you’re quirky. OCD doesn’t mean you’re organized. And for the love of all that is holy, not every situation that made you uncomfortable is “trauma”.

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

As a man you must learn the art of quick resets, a bad day shouldn’t lead to a bad week & a bad week doesn’t mean you have a bad life.
