to live a bolder life, do what feels embarrassing, terrifying, intimidating. do what you're avoiding. do what you think you might one day be ready for. do what you want to do but think you aren't good enough to do. do the hard thing over and over and watch your life expand.

My favourite quote of all time was a statement Van Gogh made to his brother in a letter, that ' If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now.

Being a good person isn’t enough. You can be kind, loyal, and full of love and still get overlooked. Life doesn’t reward goodness. It rewards those who move smart,act at the right time,and stand firm knowing their worth. Be good, but don’t be stupid!

You can do everything right, work hard, be kind, stay loyal and still not get what you deserve. Life doesn’t owe you fairness, and effort doesn’t always equal reward. Sometimes, you just have to keep going anyway.

you can cut off everyone, wake up early, hit the gym, read books and even stop masturbation, yet still make zero progress in life.
