I may not be the one who got me into this situation, but it’s solely my responsibility to get out of it. That’s the mindset you need to overcome any challenge.

The Internet has forced everyone to think globally, but maybe you don’t have to. It’s possible you could stay local and still earn enough to be independent.

Lack of self-trust can also lead to a fear of being alone.

People often underestimate how much more they could earn by simply being more reliable.

The less impact a decision has on my life, the lesser the time it should take in deciding. Eg: A $10 thing I should buy or not. A dinner. Whether I should get two of these things for my grocery or one. Such decisions have no longer term meaning.

Everyone is living in their versions of reality.

The older I get, the less need I feel to have a partner. All the long, unfulfilled gaps I once desperately wanted someone to fill, I have started filling myself after each disappointment. How good of a partnership will it be if there are no gaps left to fill? Concerning.

Respect is something that has to be earned—continuously. It can’t be granted or passed down to others.

So much of our life is dictated by the stories we tell ourselves.

Direction matters more than the speed of progress.

Whatever storm you’re going through, it will pass. What will remain is your health and the scars you inflict on yourself. Never, ever compromise on your health. Your health is your real currency. Ensure you stay in good mental and physical shape so that you can sprint forward when the sun shines again.

A secure person always empowers others to be self-reliant, while an insecure person makes every attempt to keep power by making others dependant on them.

All we do is dance between our survival instincts and our true self. All we desire is to be later forever.

You don’t receive love by asking for it. You receive love by giving it.

Have you ever felt stuck? Stuck in that emotion? You want to move on, but you can’t. Do you know why that happens? Welcome to day 6 of understanding your mind. The reason you stay stuck in that emotion is because you keep revisiting that same moment. But what makes you go back to it over and over again? The core to that is FEAR. Fear o...

Have strong opinions, but hold them loosely.

People will only take you as seriously as you take yourself. This applies to every event, thought, suggestion, point of view, and opinion, in all aspects of life.

Rejecting unhelpful thoughts and moving forward are highly essential techniques for staying present, making progress, and maintaining optimism about the future.

Be happy first and then chase everything else.

After the Industrial Revolution, where we began to rely on machines instead of our muscles to get physical jobs done, our physical strength is likely less than that of a person 200 years ago. Could the same happen to our minds, as we increasingly rely on machines to handle intellectual tasks?

Compulsive behavior increases drastically with social isolation. The mind’s natural tendency is to repeat patterns, and without enough external stimulation, it can spiral into harmful loops. Imagine if you never opened the windows or doors in your house and stayed inside for years—the air would become stale and suffocating. The same ha...

As a parent, there are two things you must do (if nothing else) for your kids to ensure the best for them: 1. Make sure you don’t cause your child any trauma, knowingly or unknowingly. You may not realize it, but this shapes who they become as adults. 2. Keep them free from the burden of having to deal with your shit.

I heard this beautiful quote somewhere: "To become a better leader, become employee of your employees."

I’m a fighter and world is my boxing ring. “I’ll get back up”- is the promise I have made to myself.

Your environment is everything. It can either inspire and bring best out of you. Or it can bring the worst out of you. It’s just the matter of who you surround yourself with.

Success happens with a lot of noise, but failure happens silently. That’s why you see more success around you than failure, even though the reality is quite the opposite.

Have self-awareness, not self-doubts

Less you care in a moment, more peaceful you become. Pick only one or two things you truly care about, and be carefree with all the others to not go crazy.

All that I was trying to do, was to undo what was done without realizing there’s no undo button in your brain, hence all the anxiety. Only button the brain has is to Override.
