We pretend to love ourselves, but then worry about what others think of us.

We act with selfish actions, but also let the actions of others hurt us.

 

Discussing philosophy is only powerful after you have already tried to live what you want to discuss. Until you act, do not talk.

Those who win are the ones who don’t give up. They care the most. They care the most about not quitting. They care the most about finding a way out. They care the most about overcoming obstacles. When you care, you do what it takes.

If you want to be valuable to others, find out what they consider valuable, and do it for them.

Simple to say.

Easy to start.

Hard to do well.

Even harder to do consistently.

Do it anyway.

Life isn’t perfect. People are not perfect.

We act with malice and envy. We act with anger and resentment. We show fear and give in to temptation.

Life is beautiful. People are beautiful.

We create and inspire. We serve and support. We love and laugh.

While life may not be perfect, we can feel perfect love.

You are unique. There isn’t anyone else out there that can deliver what you do. Find the people that value you and stay near them. Don’t waste time focusing on the people that don’t see your worth. Spend your time with the ones who need and want what you give.

The opposite of faith and confidence is not only fear, but it is also selfishness. (Fear is usually selfish. )

There are signs:

Being needy is a sign.

Being a victim is a sign.

Lack of trust is a sign.

Lack of empathy is a sign.

Focusing on your feelings first is a sign.

Focusing on what you deserve is a sign.

Whatever you worship will define you. What we worship becomes better than us. We all worship.

If we worship money, we will never have enough.

If we worship looks, we will never be enough.

If we worship God though, we will always be and have enough.

God is the only “thing” we can worship that will make us better tomorrow than we are today.

Actions have consequences. Ideas create actions. Ideas have consequences.

When you surrender to what could be, your future will always be better than your past.
