You know your behind the scenes

One reason we struggle with insecurity: we’re comparing our behind the scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel.

Steven Furtic

Often people claim that they have so boring lives compared to “others”.

They say they don’t get shit done, procrastinate the whole time and others are sooo productive and kick ass.

Think about it: You see them while they present themselves, while they are at their best performance. You see yourself 24/7, you know everything you do.

Therefore don’t worry: Everyone procrastinates, everyone struggles with getting up early, everyone hase basically the same fucking problems. It is your decision how big your let them appear for yourself.

It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.

Albus Dumbledore

Well wherever this quote comes from, Dumbledore said it in the final Harry Potter movie and I found it quite appeling.

People who rant about things like “Uhh, I had such a bad childhood, I was born into a poor family” etc. just should shut the hell up and start living their lives!

I’m a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

Thomas Jefferson

As lons as one does nothing, one can’t be lucky.

Why? Because if you don’t to anything, you don’t risk anything and therefore can’t be lucky.

So don’t be stupid, do a lot of things, no matter what!

Be happy!

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Carlos Castaneda

Honestly, you might end up going through tough shit in your life, but guess what? No matter how you look at it, you will make it through!

So why dwell in negative feelings and emotions when on the other hand you can take it lightly and just enjoy your life? It is your choice and only yours!

Why money is not that important after all

Time is more important than money. You can always get more money, you can’t get more time!

Jim Rohn

Use your time! Have fun, fuck shit up, hang out with friends, make good use of your time!

Of course it is good to work, but never overestimate money and never think “I can have fun later, as soon as I have some money.” BULLSHIT! Start living now, money comes either way.
