don't make someone a priority in your life when they don't do the same for you nothing is permanent don't stress yourself too much because no matter how bad the situation is it will change your value is not determined by someone else's inability to see your worth your enemies will often tell you the truth because it hurts and your friends will often lie because it doesn't live life the way you want to live it because even people who care for you can't be with you every step of the way danger is very real but fear is
a choice beneath the pain is a lesson beneath the sorrow is Hope beneath the struggle is courage when it seems All Is Lost you find what you really need most people are only nice when things don't matter not everyone is meant to be in your future some people are just passing through to teach you lessons in life [Music] you must be big enough to admit your mistakes smart enough to learn from them and strong enough to correct them letting go is very hard but it's the best thing to do contentment is not the Fulfillment of
what you want but the realization of how much you already have life is about balance be kind but don't let people abuse you trust but don't be deceived be content but never stop improving yourself you may be the only person left who believes in you but it's enough life just gets so much better when you stop taking things personally no matter how nice or respectful you are some people will still talk bad about you behind your back whatever is causing you worry or pain right now won't cause you worry or pain forever things change with
time and it will pass never take someone's feelings for granted you never know how much courage they took to share them if you aren't confident fake it it will come no one can make you feel inferior without your consent expect ation always hurts so expect less or no expectation from others the people who say you can't and you won't are usually the ones scared that you will don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm if you expect the world to be fair with you be because you are fair you're fooling yourself that's like expecting
the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him worrying only means you suffer twice don't be afraid of a shadow it just means there's a light nearby just because you hate this chapter doesn't mean you'll hate the book if it can be fixed why are you complaining if it can't be fixed why are you [Music] complaining the trouble is you think you have time life can only be understood backward but it must be lived forwards you don't notice your progress in life because you are always raising the bar let go or be dragged
you'll ruin your life trying to make everyone happy if you have more than three priorities you have none knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad people don't get what they deserve you aren't always responsible for the first thought you have but you are responsible for the second one never be so kind you forgot to be clever and and never be so clever you forgot to be kind your mind gives up a lot faster than your body a calm sea will not make you a skilled
sailor waiting for change while not doing anything for it is like waiting for the train at a bus stop if you find yourself repeatedly questioning whether or not something is right for you the answer is usually no at some point you will realize no one else has a say in your life unless you let them when you work for someone else you have the right only to labor not to the fruits of your labor we have two lives and the second begins when we realize we only have one the cave you fear to enter holds
the treasure you seek Nothing in life that is worth having comes easy everything can be taken from a man but one thing the last of the human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances to choose one's own way it's possible to commit no mistakes and still lose that is not a weakness that is [Music] life you're going to make a lot of people mad doing what's right for you you can't cross the ocean until you lose sight of the shore it's easy to fool someone it's hard to convince them that they've
been fooled any thought you have about the future is a delusion resent m is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die there's a lot of things worth caring about you can either be a negative or positive person in life but only one will get you somewhere before you speak let your words pass through three gates is it true is it kind is it necessary be afraid but do it anyway it takes a long time to realize how truly miserable you are and even longer to realize it doesn't have to be that
way you will never remember the days and nights you stay home and do nothing courage doesn't always Roar sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow that mountain you've been carrying you were only supposed to climb people often can confus stress with responsibility don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it someone once told me the meaning of hell on your last day on the earth the person you became will meet the person you could have become it is not
a of time it is a lack of priority what would you do if you weren't afraid there are two paths you can go by but in the long run there's still time to change the road you're on hard work beats Talent when talent doesn't work hard the reason you want to be better than someone else is the reason why you aren't Embrace stress as the opposite of apathy life moves pretty fast if you don't stop and look around you could miss it everything outside of this moment is just imagine [Music] ation if you stopped seeing
the world in terms of what you like and what you dislike and saw things for what they truly are in themselves you would find a great deal more peace in your life we are all the bad guy in someone's Story the only person who's ever going to remember your hard work is you not this company not your boss only you it's not worth killing yourself over a company that'll replace you in two days if you're gone the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind keep breaking your heart until it opens
remember when you wanted what you currently have be the person you needed when you were younger when you do things right people won't be sure you've done anything at all if you are unhappy you are doing something wrong be not afraid of moving slowly be only afraid of standing still sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing the only time you should look into someone else's bowl is to make sure they have enough given the choice between being right and being kind choose kind someone's opinion of you doesn't have
to become your reality the things you own end up owning you speak your mind even if your voice shakes experience don't expect experience life do not carry expectations on how it should be one day or day one you decide you miss 100% of the shots you don't take youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old the past is just a story We Tell ourselves every person alive hits a Crossroads in life when you have to let go of the past and Forge
ah head into something new the only sad thing would be clinging to the Past once it's Out Of [Music] Reach luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity honesty without kindness is brutality kindness without honesty is manipulation they've promised that dreams can come true but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams too there are two ways to live your life one is as though nothing is a miracle the other is as though everything is a miracle if you change the way you look at things the things you look at change you train people how to
treat you unconscious ly or not I've had a lot of worries in my life most of which never happened to realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually the world is a tragedy to those who feel but a comedy to those who think you are either part of the problem or part of the [Music] solution never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity fairy tales are more than true not because they tell us that dragons exist but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten
never go to the Past not for happiness not for justification not for excuses the world is what it is you are what you are things are only impossible until they are [Music] not just because you got away with a bad decision doesn't make it a good decision it is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of Deeds could have done them better the credit belongs to the man who was actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood
it's not your fault things are the way they are there are more things likely to frighten us than to crush us we suffer more often in imagination than in reality anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured fake love is mighty convincing in a world where real love is mighty rare whoever fights can lose whoever doesn't fight has already lost we live longer when we are too busy living the point of the argument is not to defeat each other
but to understand each other life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it pain is weakness leaving your body choose your pain the pain of discipline or the pain of regret work like there is someone working 24 hours a day to take it away from you the past is in your head the future is in your hands a sword can only be formed once it goes into the fire many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up if it doesn't
challenge you it doesn't change you your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life the trouble is you think you have time you've survived 100% of your bad days a man must suffer if he is to remake himself for he is both the marble and the sculptor never forget why you started if you can't beat fear just do it scared doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will when you find yourself in a difficult situation and everything is going against you never give up because this is the place and time when Everything
Will Change it could always be worse the moment when you feel like giving up is the moment you need to push harder stop complaining about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't put in one day you'll thank yourself for never giving up what if I told you that 10 years from now your life would be exactly the same I doubt you'd be happy once we accept our limits we go beyond them a failure is not always a mistake it may simply be the best one can do Under the circumstance the real mistake
is to stop trying when a defining moment comes along you can do one of two things Define the moment or let the moment Define you never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it the time will pass anyway it's supposed to be hard if it wasn't hard everybody would be doing it the hard is what makes it great if you believe it will work out you'll see opportunities if you believe it won't you will see obstacles the happiest people don't have the best of everything they just make
the best of everything they have you'll die once in your life make sure it's worth it you can't really control someone's loyalty towards you you can do so much for someone and still not be treated well if you have to keep asking yourself if something is worth it then maybe it's not don't take criticism from anyone you would not take advice from leave when a promise turns into a sorry be alone sometimes it is important important for your mind and well-being education in knowing things means nothing if you're not willing to put in effort and
use what you know believe half of what you see and don't believe anything you hear strive to be the man you want your daughter to marry if you blame it on someone else don't expect it to get better when you drink you're borrowing happiness from tomorrow don't make decisions when you're angry don't make promises when you're happy we are the average of the people we spend time with surround yourself with good people to be a good person if your problem can be solved with money it's not a real problem letting go is very hard but
it's the best thing to do you don't really know the person you're with until you move in together never marry anyone without living with them first learn to be content and happy by yourself if you need a company to be happy then it will make you weak if you can't take care of yourself you can't take care of anyone else trust is built over the life of a relationship but can be lost in an instant if you're not careful no job is beneath one's dignity if you say you'll do something do it your word is
one of the most valuable things you can cultivate and if your word ever loses that value it will be hard to get it back the world owes you nothing it's too big and has too much going on to care about you don't let emotions affect your life no matter if those emotions are your own or someone else's if you like what you do it will never feel like work being kind to yourself is the best medicine don't change yourself just to make someone happy unless that someone is you some will call you stubborn others will
call you strong but regardless of what they say if you know deep down that what you're doing is the right and just thing their opinions shouldn't matter you can make all the mistakes you want just don't make the same one twice potential means you haven't done anything yet people have to do a lot of stupid to figure out what they really want don't try to fit in where you're not wanted friends can still screw you over without doing so intentionally sometimes when something tragic or heartbreaking happens you never truly get over it or move on
you just learn to live with it your progress does not need to be seen or validated by others to be real there's no quick and easy way to achieve or attain something valuable and hard-earned anyone else who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something the only thing constant in this world is [Music] change letting go is much easier than you think holding on is much tougher than you think making others look bad doesn't make you look better do what is right not what is easy no excuses because excuses don't solve your problems real
growth is when you start checking and correcting yourself instead of blaming others you take your power back by being responsible for your life do not chase people who are walking out of your life you can't control what thoughts enter your mind but you can control what thoughts you entertain don't give energy to thoughts that don't make you feel good kindness will not win you respect except your own but that's the one that counts you can't change others if you love something let it free if it comes back then it's yours and meant to be and
if not then move on you can't go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending one of your worst enemies will be your own ego it will tell you that you're never wrong that you are invincible that you have no weaknesses regularly tell your ego to shut up you never realize when the most cherished moments of your life are happening try to enjoy every day your life won't go as planned and trust me it's a good thing prepare for each moment to be a learning moment when nothing
can go wrong it will you will be pulled down out of jealousy don't get surprised it's normal a bad phase of your life can start at any time most of the time you have to swallow the pain and learn to grow up by [Music] yourself don't make one person the center of all your happiness don't make them the reason why you are happy because once that person walks away from your life you're left with nothing trust wisely and not blindly never expect someone to catch you when you fall even if you have caught many from
falling it's easier to get into a thing than out of it mostly people will treat you according to their needs and greed if someone says something and then says I am joking he or she is always serious about that said thing people only want to hear the good not the bad so if you have issues it'll be hard to find people to confide in once you hurt someone they're not likely to forget they will always remember how much you've hurt them one negligible action can have devastating consequences people want you to succeed but not more
than themselves no is one of the most powerful words in existence don't be a people pleaser you'll be alone in the most difficult times of of your life these times will make you wise mature and fearless when you're working for someone else's dream you sacrifice your own no matter what good you do to people they will only remember your mistakes to reach somewhere you need to leave something behind it's best to leave things at the right time otherwise you are left with too many regrets and complaints you may not realize this but the people you
love are your biggest weaknesses what other people think of you is none of your business bad times are actually a boon because they wake you up to the good things you never paid attention to if you are impatient life will always be harder patience can do wonders trust is easy to build but can be shattered in seconds worry doesn't take away tomorrow's troubles it takes away today's peace don't be afraid to make a hard Choice the hard choices are the best you end up making the more you spend clinging to the past the less likely
your future will be any brighter action is 10 times more valuable than reading and planning experience is the best teacher respect yourself because people can see if you don't anyone you love can die any time cherish them nothing is ever as easy as it seems good things do come to those who wait and suffer it might take time and be a long and rough road but it's completely and totally worth it whether it's a machine a house or a relationship maintenance is always cheaper than repairing we cry over people but what about time time is
also never going to come back time is everything and one day it will Define you things that will count you your health and your achievements you make the best decisions when in pain because fear of experiencing the same pain again is the strongest motivator the harder your past was the more beautiful your future will be most of the stuff you worry about never happens you attract what you are you want to attract better be become better just because you miss someone doesn't mean you need them back in your life missing is a part of getting
over before you are old attend as many funerals as you can bear and listen nobody talks about the departed's achievements the only thing people will remember is what kind of person you you were while you were achieving have at least one person in your life who gives you honest opinions it is good to be generous benign and magnanimous but there's a limit or you'll be taken for granted holding on to things will always make you more strong stressed things won't happen in a certain way just because you want them to happen that way learn from
what people do not from what they tell you don't react in Anger immediately wait for it to subside what's said or done in Anger is irreversible don't overshare privacy is power don't regret the past cuz at that moment you did your best see people for who they are not who you need them to be never jump to conclusions be Discerning and let people show you their True Colors never Overlook contempt when someone views you with contempt and talks to you like you're beneath them they will likely do you harm whether relationally socially or physically remove
that person from your life never lend money because you might lend it to friends for a few days but retrieve it from Fools for years never share your problems with friends before finding a solution no matter how challenging it is don't show your weaknesses people will enjoy the show don't be weak in front of them listen to the people who tell you what you don't want to hear self-pity is dangerous stay away from it just because you are going through hell right now doesn't mean you will never smile again pain is purely temporary you spend
all all your health initially for wealth and then you spend all your wealth for one day of good health holding grudges will never harm people you hate Only You time defines you you will not be defined well by anything other than time time is the most powerful force how hard you fight it will do what it wants [Music] to
