Don't wait for permission ! Don't need encouragement ! Don't wait for validation ! Everyone is busy doing their own thing ! Don't take it personally... it's not you, it's them... Everyone is fighting their own battle... every day is a struggle. I try to always be nice to everyone as you don't know what they are going through... Whether is work, home life, love, financial, friends, family, neighbors... Everyone has issues... My mom always told me, if you just worry about yourself, you'll have a full time job ! Just do your best, and realize that your best will change from day to day. Be impeccable with your word, say what you mean, and mean what you say ! Don't take anything personally, and don't make assumptions. These are the Four Agreements, as laid out by Don Miguel Ruiz. A great book. You might check into it ! Jump for joy ! You are alive, and that's an amazing thing, you aren't getting any younger ! Don't procastinate, you never know what tomorrow brings ! Follow your bliss ! You deserve success and happiness ! Life IS fair, by being unfair to everyone ! You're not special, life shits on everyone ! Just keep running up that hill ! Much love ! Hit me up if you need a kind word, DM me if you need / want. Seriously. I'm not just being polite. I also struggle and have had a long time to practice ! But if you practice an attitude of gratitude, you'll not be left wanting. Success comes in many forms my friend ! Be kind to others !
