a tree doesn't compete with the trees around it it just grows some things have to end in order for better things to begin you will not find yourself in the opinions of others what is coming is better than what has gone the biggest liee you've told yourself is that you're not ready yet the people with the worst past can create the best future forgive yourself for accepting less than you deserved but don't do it again sometimes we break ourselves to leave behind the pieces that were never ours to carry we are products of our past
but we don't have to be prisoners of it someday when things are okay you'll look back and feel proud that you didn't give up some paths can't be discovered without getting lost first stop choosing what's not choosing you sometimes we don't want to heal because the pain is the last link to what we've lost the change that hold you back are never put there by someone else you don't notice your progress in life because you are always raising the bar you can only lose what you cling to work on your boundaries you can't be everything
to everyone and nothing to yourself perhaps you are overvaluing what you don't have and undervaluing what you do don't compare yourself to others there is no comparison between the Moon and the Sun they shine when it is their time things work out when you least expect them life has a funny way of surprising us when we're not looking for it overthinking the artart of creating problems that weren't even there everything will be okay in the end and if it's not okay it's not the end be patient with your actions but be patient with your results
when the road gets bumpy you don't leave the car you put the seat Bel on your value is not determined by someone else's inability to see your worth the fish that keeps its mouth shut never gets caught you have to believe in yourself before anyone else does just because it's taking time doesn't mean it's not working everything you thought was drowning you actually taught you how to swim life is like a piano white keys represent happiness and black shows sadness but as you go through through life's journey remember that The Black Keys also create music
if life can remove something you never expected to lose it can also replace it with something you never dreamt of having you're not everything you could be and you know it you either solve the problems or leave the problem never live with the problem we Master our future with experiences from our past you're not afraid of failure you're afraid of success and everything it demands from you just because something is hard to obtain doesn't mean that it's valuable no matter how many goals you have achieved you must set your sights on a Higher One strength
doesn't come from what you can do it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't you'll never be criticized by someone one who is doing more than you you'll always be criticized by someone doing less stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion the past shows what you've done the future will show what you learned like the moon we have to go through phases of emptiness to feel full stop for a moment and celebrate how far you've come the truth is that you owe nothing to your younger self but you owe everything
to your present self you will only learn improve and figure it out by doing to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you just like nature we all need to go through different phases of change in order to bloom you wouldn't have learned to ride a bike if someone you you trusted didn't let you go you are not behind you are just on your own path if you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure you will fail above everyone else's success success usually comes to those who are
too busy to be looking for it the pain you've been feeling can't compare to the joy that is coming accepting a negative experience is a positive experience everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves you won't know know what is right for you until you experience enough wrong what you do today is a reflection of who you will become tomorrow for your peace of mind do not try to understand everything you cannot judge what should bring others Joy the others cannot not judge what should bring you Joy healing doesn't
mean that damage never existed it means that damage no longer controls your life confidence is a habit that can be developed by acting as if you already have the confidence you desire to have if you fulfill your obligations every day you don't need to worry about the future the success Among Us delays gratification and bargain with the future your competition isn't other people your competition is your procrastination your negative thoughts and your comfort zone the only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them be the person you needed when you were
younger if we all did the things we are capable of doing we would literally asound ourselves you will only know no true Freedom when you no longer wish to impress anyone normality is a paved Road it's comfortable to walk on but no flowers grow on it self-care is realizing that you are your greatest obstacle you don't deserve someone who comes back you deserve someone who never leaves many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up just because you slipped on a step doesn't mean you
should throw yourself down the staircase good decisions come from experience experience comes from making bad decisions the most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any fear is not there to stop you it's there to show you that you're interested and you care never be limited by other people's limited imaginations the pain you're avoiding is the lesson you need to grow Our Lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter true mental strength is your ability to focus and refocus on what you can control and
ignore every everything else outside of it that's the only way you'll maintain the enthusiasm to push onward love is worth fighting for but it's not worth it if you're the only one fighting when we avoid difficult conversations we trade short-term discomfort for a long-term problem some people were not put on your path to evolve they were put there to remind you what it looks like if you don't we avoid the things that we're afraid of because we think there will be dire consequences if we confront them but the truly dire consequences in our lives come
from avoiding things that we need to learn about or discover you already know what you need to do you just pretend you don't but once you start everything will fall into place faster than you think not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry people only saw the decisions you made not the choices you had you can't build a reputation for what you're going to do do the best you can until you know better then when you know better do better trees don't hang around found with the grass even though they are started from
the same place when you are not sure flip a coin because when the coin is in the air you realize which option you are actually hoping for if you want to go fast go alone if you want to go far go together you can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it the bigger the ambition the slower you need to go when opportunities knock on your door don't wait too long to decide because when you take too much time the decision will be made for you
typically this will not be to your [Music] benefit the person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it there is more power in your choices than in your circumstances it's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right it won't happen overnight but if you quit it won't happen at all there is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience most obstacles melt away when you decide to walk boldly through them the mountain you're
climbing wasn't put there to punish you but to show you what you're capable of the way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you [Music] believe you can and you're halfway there just because you hate this chapter doesn't mean you'll hate the book people will always project their fears and limiting beliefs onto you what you must do is build a shield against this noise so you can protect yourself from it when it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached don't adjust the goals adjust
the action steps you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream change is never painful only resistance to change is [Music] painful ability is what you're capable of doing motivation determines what you do and attitude determines how well you do it it's not who you are that holds you back it's who you think you're not the better ambition have to do with the development of character and ability rather than status and power status you can lose you carry character with you wherever you go and it allows you to Prevail
against adversity when you trade doubt and fear for Hope and courage the world unfolds in ways you never imagined wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are enjoy the little things for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things the people who say you can't and you won't are usually the ones scared that you will never miss an opportunity to make others happy even if you have to leave them alone to do it it's not hard it's just new you can sacrifice pieces of your flesh
but still be considered selfish for keeping your bones you're a student of Life For Life your sole objective then is to keep learning evolving and expanding your mind sometimes the right place is a [Music] person the only impossible journey is the one you never begin focus on yourself and your goals and don't get distracted by dishonesty and disloyalty from people who only waste your time and energy people don't think about you as much as you imagine they do you can do an awful lot by writing down what happened to you and thinking it through people
with ambition don't give a damn what other people think of them yesterday is not ours to recover but tomorrow is ours to win or lose things turn out the best for people who make the best of the way things turn out every everyone is jealous of what you have no one is jealous of how you got it every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end ships don't sink because of the water around them ships sink because of the water that gets in them don't let what's happening around you get inside you and wait you
down you can't cross the ocean until you lose sight of the shore incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't the light that you discover in your life is proportionate to the amount of Darkness you are willing to forthrightly confront notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated maybe you don't exist in the future you're so worried about knowledge is learning something every day wisdom is letting go of something every day when you reach doubt that's
when you start to make real progress low self-confidence isn't a life sentence self-confidence can be learned practiced and mastered just like any other skill once you master it everything in your life will change for the better obstacles can't stop you problems can't stop you most of all other people can't stop you only you can stop you the version of you that you are scared to become is the one who's going to save you you define your own life don't let other people write your script caring about the happiness of others we find our own with
time the more wins with fear you can accumulate the more Fearless you will become pre occupied with a single leaf you won't see the tree always be yourself and have faith in yourself do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it when it comes to your dreams every risk is worth it failure is luck whose meaning you have yet to understand gain control of your time and you will gain control of your life if it can be fixed why are you complaining if it can't be fixed why are you
[Music] complaining why is happiness so elusive because you look for it in the future instead of in the present it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves your worth doesn't need convincing let those who can't see it walk away in our lives change is unavoidable loss is unavoidable in the adaptability and ease with which we experience change lies our happiness and freedom confidence comes from not always being right but not fearing to be wrong you've got to know when it's time to turn the page forget yesterday it has already forgotten you don't sweat tomorrow
you haven't even met instead open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift today problems are not stop signs they are guidelines in order to love who you are you can not hate the experiences that shaped you the acquisition of knowledge doesn't mean you're growing growing happens when what you know changes how you live you get in life what you have the courage to ask for the way you make people resilient is by voluntarily exposing them to things that they are afraid of and that makes them uncomfortable the cold water doesn't get warmer
if you jump late in action breeds doubt and fear action breeds confidence and courage if you want to conquer fear Do not sit at home and think about it go out and get busy greatest success comes Just One Step Beyond the point at which defeat overtakes you the walls you've built to protect yourself are the same walls keeping you from growing a man always has two reasons for doing anything a good reason and the real reason no one can make you feel inferior without your consent you can't control the wind but you can adjust your
sales learn to sit back and observe not everything needs a reaction be thankful for what you have you'll end up having more if you concentrate on what you don't have you will never ever have enough you can't give your life more time so give your time more life your time is limited so don't waste it living some someone else's life don't be trapped by Dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking it is never too late to be what you might have been as soon as you trust yourself you will know how
to live if you went back in time and fixed your past mistakes you would erase yourself what would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail
