118. And, in the end
The love you take
is equal to the love you make.

"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness."

119. Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be younger. But they will never be you.

120. Make your master a gift of your talents and you will rise above other courtiers.

Let him take the credit if necessary, it will only be temporary:

Use him as a stepping stone, a way of displaying your talent and eventually buying your freedom from enslavement.

121. If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule; Never lie to yourself.

Using one word... " what do you really need right now ❔"

Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. It’s a sign that you have a big heart & aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.

We don't have to have all the answers, say the right things, or solve other people's problems. All we need to do is be there, with compassion, and hold space.

We often look back on our day and judge it based on how much we accomplished. What if we focused on how we showed up in the world—whether we were mindful, kind, loving, supportive, appreciative, and open-minded?

“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority.”

How to take your life back from people who ask for too much:
1. Make peace with them
2. Identify the threat
3. Set up an early warning system
4. Secure your perimeter
5. Think strategically
6. Find your allies
7. Stand your ground
8. Outmaneuver them

We cause ourselves a lot of unnecessary pain by judging, worrying, rehashing & getting caught up in our incessant negative thoughts. We can't stop thoughts from popping into our head but we can choose not to give in to them.

122. Whether you have the resources or not, always find a way to invest in yourself. Your personal growth is worth it.

123. Embrace an Abundance Mindset
I can think of numerous definitions about ABUNDANCE, but here’s one of my favorites: Investing in yourself when you’re unsure of the outcome. Whenever I hear someone ask, “But how do I know this will work for me?” I already know he or she is doomed. Those are the words of a loser.

A winner says, “I’ve done my homework, and this looks good. I’m worth it and I’m smart enough to figure out how to apply this to my life.”

The most successful people invest in learning because they know the process of learning is valuable

77% of adults between the ages of 21 and 35 overthink.

1. Self-awareness

The next time you overthink, evaluate how you’re responding to thoughts, and how they affect your mood.

What’s the primary emotion behind your thoughts?

2. Find a distraction

Look for something that can distract you from overthinking.

This can be through exercise, starting a new hobby, playing a game, or anything else.

@deepthoughts2
@deepthoughts2

Do you feel jealous, nervous, or angry?

3. Take a deep breath

Close your eyes and breathe deeply multiple times.

Find breathing exercises that you can practice regularly.

4. Meditate

Meditation can help you clear your mind and reduce overthinking.

Find a meditation routine that works best for you.

5. Look at the bigger picture

How will all the issues floating around in your mind affect you 5 or 10 years from now?

Don’t let minor issues turn into long-term problems.

6. Help someone else

Think of how you can help someone who’s going through a difficult time.

This can give you something productive to focus on, instead of your negative thoughts.

7. Recognize when your thoughts take place

Here are some ways to identify, and work through your automatic negative thoughts:

Use a notebook to track the situation that triggers your anxiety, your mood, and the thoughts that come to you automatically.As you explore the details, evaluate why the situation is causing these frequent negative thoughts.

Break down the emotions you’re experiencing, and try to identify what you’re telling yourself about the situation. Find an alternative to your original thought.

8. Acknowledge your wins
Open your note taking app on your phone, and write down 5 things that have gone right for you recently.
These can be small accomplishments and they will add up to something.

Refer back to this list when your thoughts are distracting you.

9. Stay present

Shut off your electronic devices for a specific amount of time each day.

Take a walk outside for a couple minutes and observe your surroundings.

Find something that encourages you to live in the moment.

10. Be open minded

Try to break away from your patterns of thinking and consider other viewpoints.

Take advice from people or research for strategies that challenge your thinking.

There’s a good chance that you may pick up on something which can be beneficial.

11. Take action

You might go over the same thoughts constantly because you aren’t taking any actions about a certain situation.

Can’t stop thinking about regrets or failures from the past?

Use those feelings to help you make better choices that you will feel proud of.

12. Ask for help

If you’ve tried all of these strategies and you’re still having trouble, you should seek help from a qualified therapist.

124. To be enterprising, you'll need a healthy dose of courage and creativity. Learn to feel good about yourself, and seek opportunities that will make a difference in your future.

125. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.

You need two things to be enterprising:

👉 Creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach—to be different.

👉 Courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

Enterprising People

● An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
● To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. To be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities when they present themselves. A person with an enterprising attitude says, “Find out what you can do before taking action.” Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what’s to come.
● Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren’t lazy. They don’t wait for opportunities to come to them—they go after the opportunities.

Be kind to yourself and others when you speak. Your words, small as they might seem, have the power to pull your mind in the direction of your thoughts.

4 Powerful Little Words That Make Life Worthwhile.

Jim Rohn often said, “You can have more because you can become more and unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.”

1. Life is worthwhile if you learn.
You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. What you don’t know will hurt you. So you have to learn from your own experiencesbnegative or positive. 
2. Life is worthwhile if you try.
You can’t just learn. Now you have to try something to see if you can do it. Try to make a difference. Try to make some progress.
