Nothing is more extraordinary, than an ordinary man, with an ordinary wife, who have an ordinary child.

Damn…
„A man who lives fully is prepared to die at anytime“ -Mark Twain
The fear of death, or confrontation, judgment, hate or adversity, are all things that keep us away from fully living our life. We hide, make ourselves small and try to move through life untouched. Unscathed. Hoping will make it to the end…what end though? The end of old age?
If we would just be courageous enough to let go, it would change us forever.
That’s why I believe every man must learn how to fight. Learn to defend himself. Become strong! So when fear comes knocking we are ready.
As long as we fear others, fear ourselves or fear life, will never witness our true potential.
Scared like a little rat we hide.
Start with the end in mind
“If you want to change the future, start living as if you’re already there.” -Lynn Conway
This also goes for how and who you want to be. Don’t always think you need some time, or money, or change in life experience. If you imagine yourself doing or being something then start today.
Post that video. Paint that painting. Have that opinion. Wear that outfit. Move to that place. Build that shed. Speak the truth.
Do it now!!!!!!!
Time won’t change shit
Quote
Emotions are energy in motion
Don’t let the energy overtake you. Feel it! Absorb it! Manage it! Use it!
Focus is key
“Focus is how you knit the hours of the day together. With focus, the day becomes a beautiful tapestry. Without focus, you end up holding a bundle of loose string”
-James Clear
Quote
The Buddha went on his way, modestly and deep in his thoughts, his calm face was neither happy nor sad, it seemed to smile quietly and inwardly.
-Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
Stay on guard
Believe nothing you hear, and only half of that you see. -Edgar Allan Poe
Our perception fails us, so does our memory. We tend to never see the whole picture. The world is too complex, our mind breaks it down into smaller, understandable, information. At the cost of leaving out too many details.
Now, if you can’t trust your own perception and memory, how can you trust anyone else’s. Plus, remember, people lie, deceive, manipulate and share the false as it if we’re truth.
Stay Focused.
Keep moving
Everything becomes more and more clear the more you move towards it.
Art
Art is putting everything in its right place, not in your craft, but in your everyday life.
The way you wash dishes, cut a carrot, fold the laundry, make your bed, help your father.
Cato
Only speak when you’re certain what you’ll say isn’t better left unsaid
Life is a jigsaw
Life is a jigsaw of a million pieces. We finally put five pieces together, make a conclusion, and believe we have figured out life.
Today I put two pieces together, made a conclusion and let it rule my emotions and actions. Once I got the third piece, I realized, I was a fool…
Clarify your path
If your path isn’t clear, you will rely on the most uncertain guide — the common opinion
-Socrates
Seneca
Greatness of soul will be lost, which can’t stand out unless it disdains as petty what the mob regards as most desirable
Socrates
Do not deem yourself happy until you can live your life in front of the eyes of others.
Let walls protect you, not hide you away to sin more secretly.
A good conscience welcomes the crowd, a bad seeks solitude.
If you’re honorable let people see. How wretched are you if you despise a witness?
Beautiful Quote
Sow a thought, reap an act
Sow an act, reap a habit
Sow a habit, reap a character
Sow a character, reap a destiny.
It starts in the mind, becomes an action and turns to habit through consistency. Your habits form your character which then shapes your future.
Osho
If you are happy, you want others to be happy. If we were raised to selfishly be happy, the whole world would be happy.
Why do you do it?
The deepest urge we have is the urge to be important. -John Dewey
People want to feel appreciated
Freud says our motives come from sex or our desire to be great
If you want to motivate someone make them feel appreciated!
Nietzsche
If you cannot obey yourself you will be commanded
What are you? Man or Boy?
Character is sticking to your truth -Krishnamurti
Stand for something, die for it -Nipsey Hustle
How is it possible to have the answer and still not stick to it? We know what to do and we still sin. The mind always wins, always convinces, always influences, always in charge of itself. What makes the man take the right decision and not the boy?
I guess that’s what separates man from boy
Epictetus
Let silence be your general rule, or only say what is necessary and only in few words
Voltaire
“Doctors put drugs of which they know little into bodies of which they know less for diseases of which they know nothing at all.”
Trust your instinct if something isn’t right for you. Find your own truth!
Building Character
To be able to withstand the false and hold onto our truths. -Krishnamurti
Find your own truths. Stick to them. Don’t be influenced by books, media, news or gurus. What is true to you? Find it and die by it
I believe this also leads to happiness and true confidence
Awake your intelligence
Observing your stupidity is the awakening of intelligence -Krishnamurti
Fame
We only want to be famous if we are doing something we don’t love. Because if we loved what we did we wouldn’t have the need to be famous. -Krishnamurti
Fame is the last desire the wise man drops. -Schopenhauer
Happiness by Aristotle
Be self-sufficient. Independent. Don’t need any one for anything.
Just like my eastern philosophers say: don’t place your happiness in anything external. You cannot control the external, so don’t let it control your happiness
Independence is real confidence
The more a man has in himself, the less he needs from others — or sees in them.

An ignorant man thinks he’s wise, a wise man knows he’s ignorant.
Sufi
You are a saint until you know you are one
Know thyself
An eagle that grows up with chickens is not a chicken.
Tolstoy
Believing in God and living life are the same thing. Because God is Life.
DEEP
Everyone who can read this is a believer. If you weren’t a believer, you wouldn’t be living.
Why do you say that? Because you need to have faith, to have a reason, to continue wanting to live in a world full of suffering
Hypocrite
Remove the beam in your eye before you mention the splinters in others
Happiness
Happiness is wanting what you already have
How to make friends
Study culture. Through culture you will find friends and through those friends you will become a better person. By culture I mean the history of your family or your country. By culture I mean whatever interests you; Fashion, Music, Art, whatever you’re into. It’ll lead you to people who relate to you. Isn’t that what you want?
-Something I got from Confucius
Shout out to whoever I stole this from
Meaning of life?
Meaning is the path of life when you are guided by love and speaking the truth. Jordan Peterson put that in my head and it changed my way of thinking forever. Do what you love, with who you love while speaking your truth and accepting the consequences.
Careful what you believe
Everything we hear is just an opinion. Marcus Aurelius said that and I have to say it couldn’t be more true. There has been countless of times when I’ve listened to strangers, taken their advice and believed it as fact. We are all wrong most of the time, especially when we talk about personal preferences. Trust but verify. Do your own research.
