We all will have expectations about how life is supposed to be and how people are supposed to be. But we can’t control the way that others act or whether they meet your expectations. So when we hold on to those expectations and they’re not met we create pain.
What we can control is how we respond. We can choose to let go of expectation and open ourselves to something new.
Nothing in life has any meaning except the meaning we give it.
Two men lived the same nightmare. One came out believing the world couldn’t be trusted. The other came out determined to love more deeply because he saw how fragile life can be.
Same experience. Two completely different lives.
Meaning equals emotion and emotion equals life. Choose consciously and wisely.
The power of compounding doesn't just apply to money.
It applies to your mindset. Your relationships. Your health. Your standards. Your identity.
Because it's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently.
Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in a decade.
