The things you love about others are the things you love about yourself. The things you hate about others are the things you cannot see in yourself.
Not everyone will like you. Not everyone will be kind to you. Not everyone will agree with you. That does not mean you have to be unkind in return
Don't ever get so hung up on plans and dreams and goals that you forget to leave room for the magical unknown. Don't forget that there are things out there so good, you wouldn't think to ask for them.
Decide you’re deserving of real friendship, true commitment and complete love with people who are healthy and thriving, and watch how quickly everything begins to change.
The right partner makes your life take off, not settle down. The right partner doesn't change you - you change yourself when you feel free enough to be loved for who you really are.
True self-care is not bath salts and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don't need to regularly escape from.
To everyone who is pursuing the life of their dreams: keep going. there is no path that comes without some friction. There is nothing you can do that will not challenge you and change you.
There is just as much value in the negative space. Not every second of your life has to be filled. A packed agenda is not a success. Living at work as opposed to working to live is not a quality of life. Things are not split into 'times in which you're doing something that other people can quantify' and 'times you're doing nothing.' It's all important. Your deepest revelations happen in silent moments with yourself. Being crowded with people and appointments and ideas and creative outpourings wouldn't be so profound and stunning if there weren't also moments of aloneness and nothingness and mental drought. The context of things matters just as much as the things do. The focal point of a piece of art wouldn't exist without the negative space to frame it.
Happy people are not people who 'feel good' all the time; they are the people who are able to be guided by their negative emotions rather than paralyzed by them.
If you want to be happy, you need to stop chasing happiness. Happiness is a byproduct of doing things that are challenging, meaningful, beautiful, and worthwhile. It is wiser to spend a life chasing knowledge, or the ability to think clearly and with more dimension, than it is to just chase what "feels good." It is wiser to chase the kind of discomfort that only comes with doing something so profound and life-altering that you are knocked off your orbit. It is wiser to tip the scales over rather balance things you don't like only because you believe balance will make you "happy." It is wiser to do things that are hard and make you feel vulnerable and raw than it is to avoid them because comfort makes you feel temporarily, fleetingly good.
People's opinions, especially negative ones, largely stem from what they know they don't have and can't do. You eventually have to stop basing your self-worth on the insecurities of others.
Let go of the expectation that if you work on yourself enough, you won't struggle anymore. If you work on yourself enough, you'll understand what the struggle is for.
A lack of routine is just a breeding ground for perpetual procrastination.
What if you've received everything you've ever wanted, but you've been so focused ahead that you haven't even noticed?
The best boyfriend aren't the "cool guys," they aren't the bros who are too detached to care about love. They're the ones who want to try. the ones who would do for you everything that you'd do for them.
If you can’t manage $1000, you can’t manage $10,000. If you’re not happy on your own, you won’t be happy in a relationship. If you don’t feel good now, you won’t feel good when you have everything you’re working toward. Money doesn’t make you good with money. Love doesn’t make you love yourself. Success doesn’t make you happier, unless you are already happy. You are your own foundation. If you’re not solid, nothing else can stand on it.
The things you love about others are the things you love about yourself. The things you hate about others are the things you cannot see in yourself.
