Many we know.
But, here is a reminder.
Quoted:-
Observe before reacting, wisdom hides in patience.
Learn to leave the room when respect leaves first.
Treat your emotions like guests - welcome them, but don't let them stay forever.
Stop begging people to see your worth.
Detach from things you cannot control - that's freedom.
Learn to be alone without being lonely.
Invest in self-education more than entertainment.
Know your emotional triggers - they control you if you don't.
Learn how to think, not what to think.
Master delayed gratification, it the key to maturity.
Be kind, but keep boundaries sharp.
Don't fear starting over - fear staying stuck.
Celebrate- quiet progress - not everyone deserves to know.
Build your peace like a fortress, protect it like your life depends on it.
Read something that challenges what you believe.
Stop arguing with people who are committed to misunderstanding you.
Wake up early even when you don't have to - discipline builds identity.
Master silence - it's louder than explanations.
Don't take things personally - projection is real.
Don't overshare - mystery is a form of power.
###########
......when you know yourself, your weaknesses become your strengths and you play them like an ace up your sleeve, to the detriment of the many who live in pleasure of bringing you down.
Life is not a bed of roses. BUT navigating through life does take the courage and strength to being human, full of fault and shortcomings and unashamedly working on them .
LEARNING.

I read this. Not sure who the author is thus cannot credit it to the rightful person...
Simply .
I like it.
"...fall in love with your life.
Wake up early, buy your favorite coffee, go for walks, eat good food, wear what makes you feel confident and listen to your favorite music.
Purposefully create these small moments that make you fall in love with your life."
LIFE.

To err is not unnatural. To learn from ones mistakes is the key to growth.
It takes quite a bit of courage to face one's own demons and take ownership of the mistakes one makes and turn them into insights for the future.
To embrace the very darkest deepest of self and come out feeling drained but, less burdened and, closer to that self acceptance.
"...Life is like a game of chess.
To win you have to make a move.
Knowing which move to make comes with IN-SIGHT
and knowledge, and by learning the lessons that are
acculated along the way.
We become each and every piece within the game called life!..."
- Allan Rufus.
SELF ACCEPTANCE.

Here are a few truths to ponder:-
Quoted.
The cow drinks water and it turns to milk. The snake drinks water and it turns to poison.
If you forgive the fox for stealing your chickens, it will take your sheep.
If your dog starts barking at you, it means that someone else is feeding it.
When the mouse laughs at the cat, there is a hole nearby.
You cannot convince a monkey that honey is sweeter than a banana.
They found nothing wrong with the rose so they complained it had thorns.
Eveybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole ice believing that it is stupid.
Only a fool tests the waters with both feet.
If things are getting easier, maybe you heading downhill.
When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.
Success is simple. Not easy, but simple
- right habits
- right mindset
- right strategy.
Want to build yours?
Talent alone doesn't do it.
Motivation alone doesn't do it.
Discipline does.
DISCIPLINED.

A little heavy handed, but the gist of the message is clear.
Know thyself well.
If you don't stand for who you are, nobody else shall.
An image of a lion in nature...still imprinted in my mind.
Quoted:-
"...Real power is when your name alone shakes the room.
Hurt me once. I'll break you twice.
Call it revenge. I call it returning the favour.
This era of my life is called keep it real or keep it distant.
Some days even the devil sits back and admires my work. Even if there is a 1% chance , fight.
The silence before the comeback is the loudest roar.
ROAR."
Know who YOU are.

When looking in on someone else's achievements or growth, no matter how big or small.
Remember this quote:-
" ...don't call me lucky. I have failed more times than you have tried."
- Stephen McCranie

It is easy To point a finger outward and blame the world for much that happens to us.
But, how many times are we our own worst enemy?
"...I decry the injustice of my wounds, only to look down and see that I am holding a smoking gun in one hand and a fistful of ammunition in the other."

It is all about the self.
To optimise ones self worth is not easy and does take bravery and brutal honesty.
Quoted:
Becoming the best version of yourself comes with a lot of goodbyes.
Yiu are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
Sometimes your value isn't seen until your absence is felt.
It is fine to fight for someone who loves you. It's a waste of.time to fight for someone you love.
Never make the mistake of assuming the person of peace is unskilled in war.
1 minute of anger , lust and greed can ruin a decade of your hard work.
You're getting close. That's why it's getting tougher.
Any lesson you refuse to learn will repeat itself until you do.
Sometimes you must got to war with yourself to fix yourself.
The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get back home.
Ships that wait for the perfect winds never sail.
Fear doesn't stop death. It stops life.
You can't heal in the same environment where you got sick.
Nothing is scarier than avoiding your full potential.
Keep every stone they throw at you. You have castles to build.
Nobody works harder than a person who hates asking people for anything.
Don't be scared to start over, you might like your new story better.
It's a luxury to have zero health problems.
BRUTAL HONESTY

I am fortunate to engage in discussions so real, so revealing, that gut feel and confidence and trust...which takes a lot from one... that there is NO fear of comeback, judgment or reprimand.
A space safe . A space where all are equal and eventually allow their voice to find the freedom to speak too.
As I said in a WhatsApp yesterday...and i thank YOU for YOUR share with me.
"....Exactly that.
To know you are NOT bonkers and there are many of us in the same boat..."
And thus
Quoted:
Do not carry a sick person who does not want to be cured, because they will make you sick.
Make it a habit to ask yourself : is this worth stressing about?
Noone watches you as closely as those who dislike you. Give them a good show.
Keep this in mind
. When you are alone take care of your feelings
. When you are with friends, watch what they say.
. When you have a problem take care of yiur emotions.
. When the Universe begins to bless you, take care of your ego
You become unbeatable when you work on things that people cannot take away from you
- Your mindset
- Your discipline
- Your character
- Your faith
The law of the 7's
* Dont tolerate bad jokes
* Dont accept invitations to just please others
* Dont justify yourself unless you have committed a crime
* Dont get distracted
* Dont sell your peace of mind
* Don't put your happiness in the hands of others
* Dont try to change people
LIFE.
