Nobody knows what the fuck they’re doing. Everyone is just figuring it out as they go along.

We’re all just a bunch of kids running around in adult bodies.

Figure out a way to make multiple streams of passive income for yourself so that you can make money in your sleep without having to do anything and be able to rely on other sources of money in case something happens to your main one.

Money is just a tool/neutral resource. Nothing more. Good people do good stuff with it.

We’re all fucked up in some way, shape or form because we’re all human. Best to start fixing your shit sooner than later because otherwise it WILL manifest in all different parts of your life, especially relationships, until the wounds are healed.

Everyone can benefit from therapy even if you think you might not need it.

Time is your most valuable asset. There’s no shame in hiring people for services like cleaning your house, walking your dog, doing your laundry, whatever. That just means you’re buying your own time and can use it however you please instead of doing shit that someone else can do.

Thinking you have to, or trying to, do everything yourself is detrimental to your mental health and output of whatever it is you’re working at. Each of us has a different set of skills, gifts and talents for a reason: to share them and help one another.

You’ll learn more being a practitioner of something vs. sitting in a classroom learning about it. Of course, professions like doctors are excluded ;

Deep down, everyone just wants to be loved and accepted for who they are. It’s our motivation behind literally everything we do. We fight, we go to war, we hold grudges…but ultimately, we all want the same exact thing.

Nearly any reality you want to create is possible for you. You just need to want it badly enough and be willing to show up for it daily at your best.

People who harm others are the ones who are hurting the most on the inside.

Everyone has an opinion. Know whose to take seriously and whose to bounce off of you.

If you want to have a blueprint of a particular path to follow in life, find someone who’s done it already and reverse engineer the framework of the steps they took to get there.

Something as small as complimenting a friend or simply saying hi out of the blue can make their day.

The smallest of day to day habits pile up quickly, and before you know it, they are what make up your life. Be intentional with all that you do.

The grass is green precisely where you decide to water it. Don’t worry about what other people are doing. Just focus on making your own tiny corner of the universe a fabulous one.

There’s no shame or greed in always wanting to do, be and have better. Life is meant to be enjoyed to its fullest.

There is no one other human being on this planet who has existed, or ever will exist, who is exactly like you. You are a thumbprint. You are something special.
