Life

Your life is as it is, there’s no point in making it sound larger, more exciting, eventful, and a total success.

Own it, instead, and give it the direction you want it to have.

You’ll never get there in a straight line, but you’ll be more at ease with the surroundings, wherever you’ll find yourself.

The muscle

In the end, there are probably more things in life you are uncomfortable with than things you can easily accept and embrace.

This should be a reason to train your acceptance muscle, not the excuse to give in to control.

It’s a counterintuitive reaction and a pointless use of resources.

Good and bad

The good news it that you are in charge. You choose what to do, how to spend the day, what to eat, how frequently to exercise, how to spin the story, what people you go out with, how to get back up after a bad fall.

The bad news is that there is no excuse.

Hold on

A thought is just a thought if you don’t hold on to it.

A feeling is just a feeling if you don’t hold on to it.

A failure is just a failure if you don’t hold on to it.

I guess the point is that we should spend more time unlearning to hold on.
