Why Accomplishments Do Not Define Your Importance
Constant self-reflection will be needed in order to realize that you are not only constantly improving, but that you deserve all the love in the world.
You will continue to grow, you will love yourself even more, and you will be encouraged to be better (which will make you feel more important anyway).
The Missing Element For Your Happy Life
I sat there and explained to him that I was making progress in every area of my life. But the stress of it was still getting to me, and I could see it slowly affecting my relationship.
I explained how I had everything fine-tuned. My routine was optimized, my habits were healthy, but the stress was still there.
It didn’t take him very long to point out that I had to have an element of play in my life.
The 8 Laws of Inner-Peace
It’s easy to constantly feel as if you don’t have enough. This is what happens when you fall into the comparison trap.
You see others with nicer cars, bigger houses, and travelling more.
This can be found all over social media, on your TV, and in any store you walk into.
Inner Work That Actually Works
Attachment is the root of your suffering. There is a 99% chance that the reason you need to do inner work in the first place is that there is something you are attached to.
Often, this will look like a specific belief.
“I will not be happy until…”
It is the success you crave, a promotion, a girlfriend, approval, or more money.
At The End Of The Day, You Can Only Be Yourself
I struggle to believe that anyone is inherently bad. Perhaps it is because of my experience, but I have rarely met anyone who has bad intentions.
If you are one of those people who mean well, being yourself will mean being a good person.
Who you are is really the only thing you can control in your life
At the end of the day, you have nothing else.
This is Why You Matter
We are surrounded by rapid advancements, various problems, people who are our age achieving more than we can dream of, and war.
Staying on top of it is not easy. Finding your place is even harder.
Looking at the bigger picture, our tiny existence is but a blink of the eye in the grand timeline of the universe.
When you zoom out that far, you feel meaningless.
