“Life is forgiving. Every experience, failed or successful, is never wasted. All the time spent does work towards a final goal, some known and some newly-discovered on the journey. You have to have faith in yourself, confidence in who you are and want to be, and be brave enough to take the steps towards achieving your dream.”

“It would be a sin not to remember the things that make you happy.’ He”

“There are opportunities that come and go, like the trains on this very track. You can climb on any train and it will take you down a new path. But you need to decide which platform to stand on and which train is the one that is the most important for you.”

“Every experience, failed or successful, is never wasted. All the time spent does work towards a final goal, some known and some newly-discovered on the journey. You have to have faith in yourself, confidence in who you are and want to be, and be brave enough to take the steps towards achieving your dream.”

“It would be a sin not to remember the things that make you happy.”

“Is life a game of yes or no? I wonder about the absolutes that we try to create for ourselves, our relationship, our life choices. We try to make things black and white when sometimes it is much more grey.”

“But then again, the weight of regret and asking yourself what if, down the road, is far more haunting to one’s soul. What if I took that chance? Well, if the worst that happens is that you have to come back home and pick up where you left off, at least you can stop wasting time on dreaming and wondering if it’s still a possibility.”

“I have forgotten this intimate and softer side of love. The excitement to hear someone speak the language of your soul in such a loving tone was something I enjoyed most.”

“When you find love, all that matters anymore is making the other person happy.”

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

"When you are loved, you can do anything in creation."

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now”

"If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return."

"One’s Personal Legend is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible."

"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."

"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand."

"Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time."

"A simple and great fairytale that brings forth the greatest questions in life."

“There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.”

“I’m like everyone else — I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.”

James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, learned the importance of habit building after a traumatic injury in his youth.

The Importance Of Habits 

He learned that if you focus on improving yourself by developing good habits, you'll be able to achieve your goals.Key IdeaYOU CAN DEVELOP POSITIVE HABITS THROUGH SMALL INCREMENTAL CHANGES

Focus On Improving Yourself 

Small changes, though they may seem unimportant now, can add up. Eventually, they can lead to drastic results.

Small Changes Makes The Difference 

These small changes are what Clear calls atomic habits. An atomic habit “refers to a tiny change, a marginal gain, a 1% improvement.”

Atomic Habits 

If you improve by 1 percent each day for a year, you’ll be thirty-seven times better by the end of the year.The reverse is also true — if you get 1 percent worse each day for a year, you’ll end up basically at zero.

Why do atomic habits lead to drastic changes?

The way we build habits can be divided into four steps: cue, craving, response, and reward. Together, these steps are known as the habit loop.<ol><li>Make it obvious. Attach new habits to old habits you already have.</li><li>Second Law: Make it Attractive.The more that you like doing something, the more likely you'll be to do it.</li><li>Third Law: Make it Easy. Addictive habits show that the easier something is, the more likely we are to do it.</li><li>Fourth Law: Make it Satisfying. This step is the reward portion of the habit forming loop and increases the odds you’ll repeat an action.</li></ol>

Four Laws of Behavior Change we can use to create positive habit

Atomic Habits

You only live once? False. You live everyday. You only die once.

You need to play to win. But you also need to win to play.

Before I do anything, I ask myself ‘would an idiot do that?’ and if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.

‘You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.’ – Wayne Gretsky

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days, before you’ve actually left them.”

There are always a million reasons not to do something.

These quotes, especially the last one, really resonate with me. The Office is a comedy, but it has a lot of serious moments and many touching lines.

From The Office for Life

Stop waiting for change, actions put change into motion. And discipline is what keeps you going, creating success in the longrun.

Don't be afraid of change. Give yourself new knowledge and apply that to your life.

Internal justification happens before changing. Find your justification.

Stop waiting around to change, take responsibility for your actions and change.

Whether It's creating a new habit or a lifestyle change. Even chasing a dream and creating that killer mindset. Change should be seen as, growth, new opportunities, new experiences, lessons and bravery. Change is not something that should be feared.

For example, losing weight not only comes with exercising. But also with a balanced diet, good sleep, new habits that create real lifestyle changes. Because if you don't change the way you live, the weight you lost will be back in no time. So whatever it is, it could be the simplest stupid thing, but if it's important to you it's not stupid so just do it ;) And I'm not saying all change is good for you. I'm not saying you should be changing everything in your life. I'm just saying you should also adapt to bad changes. Find a way to cope with the bad too. ⬇️

Further Explanation From The Story Above

In your life not only the good changes. Don't be afraid of change because the good change can have so much positive impact. You don't even realize it until you've done it. 💜💜💜

Add On

Change is often scary because we don't know the outcome. Humans fear uncertainty, therefore creating anxiety for change. That's why people tend to stay the same. Actively growing as a person means constantly changing. And for some people that can be terrifying. Facing the reality and truth is hard for humans to accept (not talking about everyone), especially truth is hard. So if there is something in your life right now that NEEDS to change. Just face it and go for it, set the goals you need to achieve the change. 

Fear of change • Quotes📜

What you think about consistently will eventually become your reality. This is the reason why it is so important to be aware of our thoughts.

Your Thoughts Become Things.

So many of us don’t actually believe that we deserve the blessings that life has to offer us. Somehow we believe that those blessings are reserved for other people. But that simply isn’t true. You are as deserving of life’s gifts as anybody else.

There Is A Truth Deep Down Inside Of You....

Your power is in your thoughts, so stay awake. In other words, remember to remember.

Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything.

It All Starts In Your mind.

Ask once, believe you have received, and all you have to do to receive is feel good.

Believe that you deserve the gifts that are on their way. Be excited, joyful and grateful.

"Believe" & "Feel Good"

Visualise yourself in possession of that which you desire and it is done.

See The Things That You Want As Already Yours.

You are the one who calls the law of attraction into action, and you do it through your thoughts.

If you can think about what you want in your mind, and make that your dominant thought, you will bring it into your life.

Never Stop Believing.

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want.

You Must Focus Your Energy

There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of love.

It Really all Comes Down To Love.

Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go, and you will create your life intentionally.

Your feelings are your greatest tools to help you create your life.

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want than what they do want.

Do not become impatient with your manifestation. You must focus your energy, receive it as if it already is, and trust that is coming.

The Secret

There are 7 key areas where we all need to pay attention to become highly effective. Having read this deepstash article , you will learn to:• Choose to be proactive rather than reactive•Visualize the end of an endeavor before undertaking it•Schedule your priorities instead of prioritizing your schedule•Seek what is beneficial for everyone involved•Try to understand others first so that they can understand you•Work with others to achieve exponential results•Keep an effective system runningQUOTECharacter change is more sustainable than behavioral change.

The easiest way to improve your personal and professional life 

QUOTE1. A Paradigm is a pattern we apply to explaining certain phenomena.Our set of paradigms determines our character. Our paradigms can spell the difference between success and failure in business and relationships. A paradigm shift occurs when we begin to question our set behaviors and attitudes and start changing them gradually. QUOTE 2. Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others. ~ Stephen R. Covey

 Journey toward lasting change begins with a change in Paradigms

QUOTE Being proactive means that you take responsibility for your actions rather than blame your entire life on external circumstances.Proactive people believe their mood or behavior is a function of their internal engineering. Rather than blame others for failure, they seek the way forward. They view life in terms of 2 concentric circles:•CIRCLE OF CONCERN•CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE The circle of concern is filled with the things we worry about: the bills we need to pay, the loans we need to refund,etc. This circle is quite big.Inside this circle is a smaller circle called the circle of influence.

Exercise Your capacity for proactivity rather than reaction 

We do things twice. First, we conceive an idea in our minds and then execute it in the real world.To win, you must visualize what winning means and then implement it. QUOTE Proper planning is the key to the impeccable execution of any worthwhile goal. Create time for visualization. Write down your end goals and itemize the steps that you would take to reach them. Before you begin, look at the end.

Create precise mental pictures and flawless mission statement

Once you have that sense of mission, you have the essence of your own proactivity. You have the vision and the values which direct your life.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Socrates is considered the creator of classical Greek philosophy. He is famous for engaging in debates with the 2 types of wise people of the day:<ul><li>material philosophers who tried to explain what the world is made of</li><li>sophists, interested only in rhetoric and not in truth.</li></ul>He believed wisdom has to have relevance for the individual. While the materialists focused on truth and less on relevance, the sophists were only concerned with relevance while ignoring truth.Socrates believed the person needs a philosophy that is both relevant & truthful.

Socrates and the association of truth & relevance

Socrates was named the "wisest man alive" by the Delphi oracle. Which not only confused Athenians, because the guy was acting like a homeless person, but Socrates himself. He knew that his wisdom is limited, but he also believed the gods could not lie. So his solution was to say "I know that I know nothing"Socrates meant that only knowing the limitations of knowledge, you can transcend. You need to understand the limits of your cognition so you can evolve.

Knowing what you don't know

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates is a mythical figure that sparked a revolution in thought.
