10 Reminders To Help You Crush Your Next Life Chapter
“Fail more. Fail all the time. Set yourself up for failure. Because what you will learn is that failure is not some horrible catastrophe, it’s actually a part of a process of getting better at something or getting what you want. And going ahead into failure is often how you find yourself unexpectedly succeeding faster than you expected. And the more you fail, the more you immunize yourself against the fear of it so you can get more of it. Failure is something you actually need in your life to really get the things you want.” — zazzlekdazzle
“Don’t fall into the trap of thinking everyone else your age has something that you don’t and you feel hopelessly behind and like a failure. Once you’re out of school, there are no timelines anymore. You are not supposed to do anything by any particular point in your life. Everyone is different. You are not supposed to have had X number of sexual partners, had X number of relationships, be married, have a kid, own a house, have a dream job, or figure out your calling in life at any particular point – if at all. Life is very long and you will have many chances to do things. Make your own path.” — zazzlekdazzle
“Once you’re out of school, don’t keep the friends who bring you down. You really don’t need that and the benefits no longer outweigh the drawbacks. You know what I mean, the friends who only call when they need something, the ones who make you feel bad when you fail and worse when you succeed. The friends who encourage you to do things you actually don’t want to do and discourage you from growing as a person. Focus your time and effort on your high-quality friends. It’s not about quantity anymore.” — zazzlekdazzle
“Goals are good but don’t get it twisted, the journey is all there really is, no actualized goal is going to make you feel like you’ve succeeded. And succeeding or failing, you’re going to die like everyone else. And whether you do a lot or live a very simple existence, you have as much right to be, and as much value, as everyone else.” — CellPublic
“Love life, it is short. Be grateful for everything. The biggest burden you’ll carry are your own thoughts. Learn to live in the present, the past is just a memory and the future is just your imagination. You don’t have to accept the negative self dialogue, be the watcher of those thoughts and learn to let them go. You are braver than you believe, smarter than you think, stronger than you seem and loved more than you know.” — unabtaniuam
“Your dreams are not static. It’s ok to decide the dream you had at 15 is no longer for you.” — DonnaJScot
“If you have issues with your self-confidence and depend on the validation of others, address that shit by whatever means are available to you. Nobody is going to do it for you and being insecure gets old fast.” — StrangeArcticles
“You know that dream that seems nuts to pursue? Do it now. When you’re old, with a house and a mortgage and a dog, shit like ‘I want to make a movie’ get much more complicated.” — FreshlyWritten69
“Don’t waste time being the person other people think you should be, and instead be the person you want to be.” — GrimeyScorpioDuffman
“It’s okay and healthy to sit in silence. Put down your phone, leave your earphones in your pocket, and just be. It’s important to not constantly be stimulated.” — yourpaljax
