You Are a Badass Every Day: How to Keep Your Motivation Strong, Your Vibe High, and Your Quest for Transformation Unstoppable

by Jen Sincero

We get extremely defensive about our excuses, because excuses free us from taking responsibility for our lives:

we sometimes plan our lives without making a priority of letting ourselves be, do, and have the things that bring us joy.

Enjoy the present moment instead of wasting it by trying to predict future unsavory events that may or may not happen.

All worrying will do is make you live through the misery twice.

You have nothing to gain by freaking out.

What comes out of your mouth comes into your life, so choose your words wisely.

Giving people the benefit of the doubt is excellent practice for not taking stuff personally,

Waiting until you know exactly what you’re doing or until all of the circumstances are just right or until you have a large pile of extra cash lying around is the best way to wake up at ninety-seven years old, fishing your teeth out of a cup by the bed, wondering what the hell happened to the life you were so excited to live.

The more often you use your downtime to meditate and go inward and connect as opposed to distract yourself and go outward and get sucked into the virtual world, the more peaceful and happy you’ll be.
