Kindle Notes & Highlights
you disappoint yourself when you give something and wait for the same thing back.
we hear the most from the things people don't say.
how different would your life be if you did all the things you told yourself you would?
how many losses did you take without even trying only to find out later that someone else has gotten to where you want by doing the exact same things you had in mind?
you won't know if it's right, until you have the answer. and you can't get an answer, if you don't try.
you gotta start living for yourself. do the things you want to do. come up with new ideas. make changes. just. try. stuff. fuck it up a few times. whatever. you will still be alive anyway.
everything is okay. but I want so much more than okay.
make a change. and you can always go back to what you've left behind. chances are, you probably wouldn't want to go back once you make a leap forward. but yet, you spend the vast majority of your energy debating if you should take a leap.
if you're debating to yourself if you should make a change, the answer is yes. you can always go back to what you've left behind.
there is a kind of tiredness that sleep doesn't make go away it comes from the aching of your soul longing to be someone else tired of pretending to care about all the things you don't care about. there is a kind of tiredness you cannot make go away it lays there deep in your soul growing more and more weary as you continue to do things that does not feed your soul.
how many times do you need to go back and forth to make up that decision you've known all along?
anywhere is the right direction if you don't care where you are going.
what are you more afraid of is it really change or things staying the same?
at the end of it all the biggest obstacle still remains to be yourself.
you break your own heart by telling yourself to give it another shot when you already know it is time to let go.
it only has to make sense to you. not anybody else. if it makes you happy, it is a good enough reason to do it. if you think that it is what you need, it is a good enough reason to do it. it doesn't matter if others don't agree, they are not you. make your own mistakes.
isn’t it interesting how we always regret the things we didn’t do and rarely the ones we did?
don't make the mistake of making mistakes based on somebody else's terms.
you're not a failure for being lost.
do the things you have in mind. especially if you have been thinking about it for a long time. we spend too much time “waiting”. but what are we really waiting for? waiting till you have a backup plan? waiting for someone to do it with? just simply waiting to see how it goes? or have you been waiting for so long that you forgot what you are waiting for? you don’t have to do it all at once. take baby steps out. but don’t forget to do the things you have in mind. don’t end up waiting in vain.
homesick for a home you are not sure exists.
time takes time
there is hope in the things that have not happened yet.
how much do you actually want it? it makes all the difference.
if you don't pick yourself up, who will?
most people will not want the same things you want as badly as you and that is your superpower.
stop telling yourself no. when your heart says yes. stop talking yourself out of things you want the most. you deserve good things. you deserve to have things you actually want.
you don't need more to get started, you need to start.
maybe who you are is all you will ever need to become.
