What do you grow in your field?

Life is like an empty field. With intention, it becomes a garden, without it weeds and debris will take over. Something will grow either way, but it’s your choice what takes root. Intention creates reality.

Start slow if you have to

Just start. Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to. Just start

The whole of life is about another chance

At this point in my life, I know now, that finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.

There is no substitute for courage

Your degrees can't take action for you. Your books can't make the decision for you. Your family can't live your life for you. There is no substitute for courage. At some point, you have to make the choice.

Genuine curiosity

Anyone can listen. All you have to do is stop talking. But to be a good listener, you have to stop talking and be interested. Genuine curiosity is the precursor to understanding, and a good listener helps the other person feel understood.

You don't have one purpose for your life

They come in stages, from shallow to deep. Like how your purpose as a teen might be to get back at your ex by becoming obsessed with the gym. But, you eventually transcend that purpose and adopt one around health, longevity, and enjoyment. There are no wrong actions. Follow your desires, self-reflect, raise your consciousness and make better decisions next time.

A year from now

The biggest generator of long-term results is learning to do things when you don't feel like doing them. If you let excuses or emotion drive behavior, you're cheating your future self. Put aside the excuses and start doing what you need to do. A year from now, you will wish you had started today.
