We can all acknowledge and appreciate other people’s diverse accomplishments and talents while still being happy about our own.

We are merely numbing our desires, and giving ourselves a little taste of temporary relief.

When we have a goal, dream, or plan, there is no measure of intent. It is only whether you did it or did not.

Individuals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a smaller hippocampus (the center of emotion and memory), increased amygdala function (the center of rumination and creativity), and decreased medial prefrontal/anterior cingulate function (the center that governs complex behaviors like planning and self-development).

But if you don’t get started, you’ll never arrive.

Don’t worry about doing it well; just do it.

To truly heal, you are going to have to change the way you think. You are going to have to become very conscious of negative and false beliefs and start shifting to a mindset that actually serves you.

for many people, their fears and attachments are very often just symptoms of deeper issues for which they do not have any better way to cope.

Instead of shocking yourself into big changes, allow yourself to slowly adjust and adapt. By taking it slow, you are allowing yourself to gradually reinstate a new comfort zone around what you want your life to be. Over time, you gradually shift your baseline to a new standard.
