Embrace pain, and you allow yourself to learn. Embrace suffering, and you are free to choose your life. Embrace happiness, and you appreciate the vibrancy of life. Embrace sadness, and you appreciate the depth of life. Embrace life, and you will live without regrets.

If I have to spend my whole life trying, then so be it. My goal is to be satisfied with that.

You have choice. Don't believe me? "I have to work, I have no choice." No. You chose to work, so that you could survive. You chose to chase your dreams, so that you could thrive. At times, there will be pain, there will be pleasure, there will be satisfaction, there will be despair. Respect your choice and respect yourself for you have chosen to live, instead of to die.

Uncertainty does not mean death. It is where life takes place.

the smaller something is, the faster the feedback loop is. If you have struggle starting, doing something in front of the public eye can be a fuel source to tap into. Nobody will really care to comment until you've hit the mark. Either in a good or a bad way. It's all feedback.

Telling yourself that you will do something in 5 minutes is just like chasing happiness. It will continue to evade you, until you decide to act and be in the present.

Reminder: As long as you aren't doing a job for the mafia or something: Trying something and failing, does not mean death.

about 6 months ago I was finally forced to face the 9 to 5 reality. I had been privileged to not have to work (which I regret to some extent.) until I finished the Swedish equivalent of high school. Before then, and for the past 6 years or so-- Escapism had been my best pal.

Walk your path. Nobody can walk it for you. Don't forget to stop every once in a while. Take some time to breathe. Sometimes, it's more efficient than pushing through. How you breathe changes you. Hyper-vigilance or calm. Two different kinds of focus. Focus on the trees, or focus on the forest. Both have their uses. Know when to make use of which.

If only I started 5 years ago. Instead. Imagine where you'll be in 5 years if you start now.

Boredom isn't the enemy. It's the fuel of progress. Just as failure isn't death. It's a guide to your goals. It's all about reframing.

If you had a choice between starting at step 1 or step 10, which would you choose? I want to start at step 10 to get rid of the doubts. But that would only do so momentarily, since step 11 would be waiting for me. I know that starting at step 1 is the optimal choice. Because it provides you the vital wisdom to see the next step. And since I don't have a choice, and am starting at step 1 regardless, I might as well make the best of it and enjoy the process. I have to learn to be okay with doubt.

Your wildest dreams. Have you given up on them? That childlike wonder that seems to get lost along the way. Taking risks. Baseless confidence. Belief. Daring to play with reality. As we go about living life, we amass a lot of junk. Junk that clouds our clarity and invites doubt. A crucial step to life satisfaction is learning what to rid yourself of.

Mirroring how your ideal self acts in your dreams to your current present is how you get there. You can't mirror the external circumstances, but you can mirror the internal. That's what you can actually control. The rest (external) usually follows.

If you feel like you have no ideas, even though you constantly consume content. You don't need more input. You need quiet time to process things. You'll be surprised at how many ideas you have if you just let yourself sit and be for a while.

I wonder what is more draining. The battle you have to fight, or the battle you fight about having to fight a battle. I'm willing to wager it's the latter.

Embrace pain, and you allow yourself to learn. Embrace suffering, and you are free to choose your life. Embrace happiness, and you appreciate the vibrancy of life. Embrace sadness, and you appreciate the depth of life. Embrace life, and you will live without regrets.

You don't need to feel bad about repeating yourself. As long as you do it from different angles. It will click with different people. Repackaging things to find the gap in the armor of Ego, is a worthy pursuit.

If you doubt decisions you have made, if there is any possibility to re-evaluate them, do that. Did you still come to the same conclusion? Let go of possibility, it's all illusion.

Would anybody be curious as to my thoughts on communication and relationships?

Sometimes we find ourselves not wanting to do things. - Working on something you're not passionate about. - Chores that have to get done, week after week. - Spending your time doing things that you don't want to. But sometimes we have to. I find myself very prone to half-a$$ing those things. Rushing to get them over with. But rushing doesn't make things better. In fact I'm willing to bet that it makes things worse. This is a reminder to myself to try and enjoy the present. Even if it is far from what I wish it would be.

You have choice. Don't believe me? "I have to work, I have no choice." No. You chose to work, so that you could survive. You chose to chase your dreams, so that you could thrive. At times, there will be pain, there will be pleasure, there will be satisfaction, there will be despair. Respect your choice and respect yourself for you have chosen to live, instead of to die.
