The problem with everyone "looking" for a happy life, or great success - is that they miss the key element.

You do not look for a great life - You create one.

That is the only way.

Just Keep Showing Up

Consistency isn’t about perfection—it’s about managing your imperfection to achieve the things you want.

It’s not glamorous. It’s not easy. But it’s what separates those who talk about their dreams from those who actually go out and live them.

So show up.

Show up when it’s hard. Show up when it’s messy. Show up when no one’s watching. Show up when you don't feel like it. Show up when the rewards are uncertain.

Just show up.

You can never bet against the person who just keeps showing up.

Grief isn’t love having nowhere to go. Grief simply is love.

You cry when you lose someone because you love them. You smile when you think of them because you love them.

Your love never left

Being willing to play the long game, cuts 80% of competition...

Taking bold action on that, over years, cuts the rest.

You think that because you have made the decision to get better, you think everything will just magically change, you think that it will be easy, haha, no, it won’t.

You shouldn’t be surprised by the challenges; they are there because of the life that you’ve chosen to live.

You can't complain about your plate being full when you're the one who wants to eat well.

It's very easy to show up with energy when something is working. When it's clicking. When the result feels predictable. It's very hard to show up with energy when the rewards are uncertain.

Those who can tolerate the most uncertainty are the ones who will eventually win.

Remember that.

“There is no requirement that enlightenment be painful, unless you are trying to avoid pain. Then the universe has no choice but to teach you through pain. One of the universe’s strategies is to put directly before you the things you are trying to avoid. It is possible to grow and learn in a way that is loving to yourself and others. All you do is make a commitment that you want it that way. We have had many of our clients phrase it this way: ‘I’m willing to see and handle anything I need to be free, and I would like my lessons in a friendly, loving way for me and others around me.’”

A lot of people practice avoidance and call it peace.

They lie.

"Those who do not think about their own sins make up for it by thinking incessantly about the sins of others." - C.S. Lewis

@Audiobooks_collection

Some people measure their virtue by what they believe rather than how they behave, so they feel righteous even while acting like beasts.

Author Jodi Piccoult on why we love:

“You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.”

@Audiobooks_collection

There’s that line,

“Somewhere out there, someone is working harder than you, and when you meet them, they will win.”

Also: somewhere out there, someone is 100% committed, and if you aren’t, when you meet them, they will win.
