The most expensive mistake you can make is trying to save time by cutting corners on your character. If you compromise your integrity for a shortcut, the debt will eventually come due with interest. The world remembers the results, but your conscience remembers the process. You cannot build a skyscraper on a foundation of sand and expect it to reach the clouds.

It's my 6 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Make sure you’re with someone who actually makes it safe for you to speak your mind. Someone you can vent to, be honest with, and say what’s bothering you without feeling like you’re about to be judged, dismissed, or turned into the problem. A healthy relationship isn’t one where you have to walk on eggshells. It’s one where both people can communicate openly, say how they feel, and know they’ll be heard. The right person will listen, respect your boundaries, and take your feelings seriously instead of brushing them off. You deserve someone who can hold space for your emotions, not someone who makes you feel like you have to shrink them.

Never apologize for being obsessed. Read all day, work all night, run for hours, forget time exists. Be everywhere, but be a ghost. Turn off the world and create your own, let craft become compulsion. Positive obsession is a gift, disguised as a curse.

To determine what you are capable of, recognize your higher self and develop it, awaken its abilities, open up new possibilities, fill your life with something more meaningful to your inner being. Strive to know yourself, that is to find out what's inside you, to discover and realize your gift.

People never appreciate what they have until it's goneWhenever a relationship or opportunity comes to an end, there is always difficult times of mourning and sad feelings associated with it. Respect that. Remember that every end entails a beginning of something new. Everything that should eventually end – ends, and you must be happy with it. Moreover, every time it happens you probably realize this fact at heart. ☝🏻But what can actually change your life is your ability to take time to invest in your future instead of dwelling on the past.

The less energy we waste regretting the past or worrying about the future, the more energy we will have for what’s in front of us.

Focus on effort, not outcomes. It’s insane to tie your wellbeing to things outside of your control, Marcus Aurelius said. If you did your best, if you gave it your all, if you acted with your best judgment—that's a win…regardless of whether it’s a good or bad outcome.

"People who try to be controlling are ones who have lost control of themselves. They see you are on a successful path and don't like you to reach higher levels of success, than they try to convince you are doing the wrong thing. Don't listen to this Mind manipulators, expand your mind and expand your life.. You are worth every goal you want to achieve, go for what makes you happy and let no one tell you different..
