Let your emotions be your guide, but not your identity

Someone — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 12:00:11 +0000

When people experience strong negative emotions like anger, jealousy or pain, they usually do one of two things — bury their emotions deep in their subconscious, or get so caught up in their emotions that they are consumed by them and adopt them as part of their ongoing identity.

Anger isn’t worth it.

Someone — Sat, 16 Jun 2018 12:00:54 +0000

The feel-good release of anger lasts a few minutes. The repercussions last far longer. Regret, stress, and unhappiness are the byproducts of angry outbursts. Learn healthier ways to communicate your feelings, and when anger arises, step away until it dissipates.

Failure is good

Someone — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 12:00:35 +0000

We try so hard to avoid failure, but failure is the real evidence that we’ve had the courage to try. If you avoid failure, you avoid taking action. Expect and accept that failure is part of the experience. Learn from it, grow from it, and move on.

Your kids aren’t you

Someone — Sun, 10 Jun 2018 12:00:49 +0000

You are the vessel to bring your children into the world and their caretakers until they can care for themselves. You can teach them, love them, and support them, but you can’t change them. They are unique individuals who must live their own lives and learn from their own mistakes. Let them.

“The trouble is, you think you have time” — Jack Kornfield You only have this one crazy and precious life. That’s why you owe it to yourself to see who you can become, and how far you can go. However, to do that, you need to ditch meaningless time wasters and stop allowing them to[...]

Give Up The Fixed Mindset

Someone — Wed, 23 May 2018 12:14:35 +0000

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” ― Robert Greene, Mastery People with a fixed mindset think their intelligence or talents are pre-determined traits that cannot be changed.

The meaning of life is the meaning you decide to give it

Someone — Sat, 12 May 2018 00:31:45 +0000

The meaning of life is the meaning you decide to give it. Some people are searchers. They wander through life looking for answers…but rarely find them. Others accept without question what an outside authority tells them is true. The meaning of life comes from within, from the things that you learn to prioritize and value.[...]

Be your own advocate

Someone — Wed, 09 May 2018 00:36:26 +0000

Be your own advocate. Don’t be afraid to ask what you want and what you need — especially if it’s help. Too often, we struggle in silence when we could make our lives better simply by asking a question or two. Better to look ignorant for a moment than to remain ignorant for a lifetime.[...]

You don’t need permission

Someone — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

You don’t need permission. When we’re young, we wait for our parents and teachers to say it’s okay to do the things we want to do. As an adult, you don’t need permission from anybody else. Do you want to quit your job and travel the world? Do it. Do you want to learn how[...]

You can’t prevent every possible thing from going wrong

Someone — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

You can’t prevent every possible thing from going wrong. Don’t even try. Instead, learn to deal effectively with minor problems. You’ll build self-confidence, which will lead to an increased willingness to take calculated risks. (Similarly, you can’t make everyone like you. It’s foolish to try.)

Be skeptical — but keep an open mind

Someone — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

Be skeptical — but keep an open mind. Don’t believe everything you hear — from others and from your own internal self-talk. Practice healthy skepticism. But keep an open mind. Don’t automatically assume that everything is fake or false. Do your best to analyze the things you see and hear to determine whether they actually[...]
