1. Read. You could be the most powerful person on the planet if you could read peoples thoughts. When you read a book, you are in fact, reading peoples thoughts. Read widely. Read for knowledge and depth. Take notes in the margins of your books.

Give yourself permission to not finish books right away or at all. Most people fail reading books because they think if they start to read one they have to keep reading until they’re finished in a short amount of time feel free to scan or jump chapters. It’s not a contest, you’re reading for yourself and what you can get out of it.

Create your own library and not one just for show.

2. Journal. They say that reading helps you understand the world and writing helps you understand yourself. If you want to be better one day to the next, take time to reflect on things you need to change about yourself or your circumstances.

3. Be humble enough to respect the authority of the truth. Don’t get caught up in this whole, my truth, your truth nonsense.

There’s a lot of people who’ve made serious errors in life, but stuck with it because it was “their truth” -it doesn’t matter if you’re sincere if you’re not right, in fact, it could even be more harmful in the end. Many people and sometimes large groups of people are very sincere and still make very bad decisions. Many men throughout the ages have been very sincere, but died fighting for what turned out in the end to be nothing short of their own or someone else’s lie.

4. Learn to be comfortable being alone. You will be alone in life more often than you realize if you’re trying to accomplish anything worthy. Overtime you’ll come to realize that many people in life view your relationship as transactional meaning that they’re your friend when they need you to be your friend but when you need them, they do not show up.

If you can’t be comfortable being alone, overtime, you will discover that you have compromised on things you’ve sincerely believed and and may have even traded your integrity in order to keep people around you. It’s not worth it.

You may be alone from time to time, but it will never be permanent and overtime it will be less often as people come to understand that you’re somebody Who plays a premium on your own personal sense of integrity and honor.

“If it is worth saying or doing, it is worth being criticized for saying or doing.”
Marcus Aurelius.

5. Be kind. You’ll discover that many people don’t have what it takes to be alone I don’t have the spinal fortitude to stand against the crowd. Secretly people will respect you for being somebody that they cannot be but outwardly, they will try to attack you and bring you down into the mud with them. Be kind to them. Not so much for their sake, but for yours.

__
6. Be quick to forgive. You have a limited amount of emotion in your life - spend it wisely and where it matters and on people it matters too. Forgive people and repair relationships or forgive people so you can forget them and move on.

I’ll stop here for now.

One thing about me, I know how to be cordial with EVERYBODY. I can know you don’t like me, in competition w/me, talk about me, envy me, judge me, and hate on me. I’m STILL gonna smile,speak, and maybe even hold a conversation with you, because at the end of the day that’s a PERS-

Lots of times what people call “insecure” is actually just having boundaries & not being ok with disrespect

@dreamofgabyy It’s so good but you have to get a good one, brewery bhavana has the best in Raleigh

Lately, I've noticed everybody looks OK until you eventually have a deep conversation with them. And then, you'll realize that, this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures.
