You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.”

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

10 Inspirational Quotes That Will Change Your Life

Acknowledge your accomplishments and be grateful for how far you've come. Don't get caught up in comparing yourself to others. Instead, be your own cheerleader and find validation within yourself.

Gratitude for Yourself

Social media can amplify feelings of inadequacy. Take time away from the internet and social media to reconnect with yourself and reduce the influence of others' opinions.

Unplug and Step Away

Remember that everyone is human and makes mistakes. Avoid putting others on a pedestal and recognize that even your heroes have flaws.

Nobody is Perfect

Stay true to your own desires and passions. Don't let others dictate what you should want or how you should live your life.

Focus on Your Wants

Understand your reactions to others' opinions. Explore your emotions and anxieties to gain self-awareness and address the root of your concerns.

Self-Reflection

Accept that it's impossible to make everyone happy. Focus on your own feelings and actions rather than constantly seeking external validation.

You Can't Please Everyone

This video offers practical advice on how to stop caring about what others think. It explores the negative impacts of seeking external validation and provides 7 actionable strategies to cultivate self-acceptance and prioritize your own needs and desires.

Comparing yourself to others and focusing on what other people think about you is bad for your mental health. The happiest people don’t even think about others, they focus on themselves and being better than they were previously.

Show yourself gratitude, focus on yourself, and know that you can't make everyone happy. Stop caring about what people think of you and be confident in yourself.

7 Ways to Stop Caring About What Others Think

The therapist is a human being, not a machine.

The book starts with Lori Gottlieb, a therapist, going to therapy herself after a breakup. She shows that even therapists have their own struggles and can benefit from getting help.

#1 – Therapists Need Help Too

Pain is part of the human experience.

John, a successful TV writer, uses sarcasm to hide his feelings. Through therapy, he learns to face his sadness and vulnerabilities, showing how therapy helps people be more real with themselves.

#2 – John’s Story: Facing Pain

We don’t get to choose how we die, but we can choose how we live.

Julie is a young woman with terminal cancer. Her therapy sessions help her deal with her diagnosis, relationships, and fears about dying. This part highlights how therapy can help with the hardest parts of life.

#3 – Julie’s Journey: Coping with Illness

It's never too late to find meaning in your life.

Rita, an older woman, feels overwhelmed by regrets and even thinks about ending her life. Through therapy, she starts to find new hope and purpose, proving that therapy can help anyone, no matter their age.

#4 – Rita’s Struggle: Finding Meaning

We are all just walking each other home.

Lori shares her experiences as both a therapist and a client. This shows that both therapists and clients are on similar paths of healing and self-discovery, emphasizing our shared humanity.

#5 – The Shared Journey of Therapist and Client

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change.

A major theme is the importance of being vulnerable in therapy. Whether it's Lori sharing her feelings or her clients opening up, real growth happens when people are honest about their emotions.

#6 – Being Open and Honest

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.

The book discusses how therapy helps people recognize their patterns and behaviors. Lori shows how understanding the reasons behind our actions leads to better choices in life.

#7 – Understanding Yourself Better

Empathy is about being aware of the emotions of others.

Lori's experience as a patient makes her a more compassionate therapist. This part highlights that empathy is crucial for healing, both for clients and therapists.

#8 – Empathy in Healing

We are all connected; to each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe, atomically.

The book touches on universal themes like love, loss, and hope. These themes connect all people, showing that we all face similar emotional struggles.

#9 – Common Human Experiences

Therapy is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength.

One key message is that therapy isn’t just for those in crisis. It can help anyone seeking personal growth or wanting to understand themselves better, at any point in life.

#10 – Therapy for Everyone

Learn why everyone can benefit from therapy.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Now being developed as a television series with Eva Longoria and ABC! "Rarely have I read a book that challenged me to see myself in an entirely new light, and was at the same time laugh-out-loud funny and utterly absorbing."--Katie Couric "This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book."--Arianna Huffington, Founder, Huffington Post and Founder & CEO, Thrive Global "Wise, warm, smart, and funny. You must read this book."--Susan Cain, New York Times best-selling author of Quiet From a New York Times best-selling author, psychotherapist, and national advice columnist, a hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world--where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose of-fice she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives -- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys -- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is rev-olutionary in its candor, offering a deeply per-sonal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly reveal-ing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman carried out a decade long study about how some people are lucky and soem aren't.

A dedicated study

In the study, both luck and unlucky people were given a newspaper, both given the task to count the number of photographs within it. The lucky people finished quickly by finding a headline that says the total of photographs (which is added by the professor) while the unlucky people were busy finding photographs.

The Study

Through putting up a "Luck School" Professor Wiseman's foundings have proved that luck is not by chance and mostly through our mindset. Lucky people are proven to be more creative and better at finding opportunities. Adequate positive expectations and gratefulness could lead you to a better mindset. Thus, giving you a lucky life

It's all in our mindset.

What is luck? Want to know how to get good luck? Or, how to get rid of bad luck? 

Watch this video to find out about the science behind why some people live charmed lives, whilst others seem to grind along with lives full of ill fortune.

The Science of Luck: How to get lucky

Can't Hurt Me is a manifesto on mental resilience. It challenges the notion that we are limited by our circumstances or physical abilities. By cultivating an unbreakable mindset, you can push through unimaginable hardships and redefine your limits.

The Relentless Pursuit of Mental Toughness

“The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.”

This book emphasizes radical accountability. Goggins believes that no one is responsible for your success or failure but you. Through personal ownership and the will to endure pain, you gain control over your life’s path.

Taking Control of Your Destiny

“We all need small sparks, small accomplishments in our lives to fuel the big ones.”

The key to overcoming challenges is mastering your mind. Goggins argues that the body is capable of enduring much more than we think, but the mind gives up long before our limits are reached. By pushing past mental barriers, you unlock new potential.

1. Mastering the Mind

When your mind tells you that you’re done, you’ve only reached 40% of your actual potential. Pushing through the discomfort leads to growth and endurance far beyond what you thought possible.

2. The 40% Rule

Just like hands get calloused through physical work, the mind can be toughened through hardship and repeated effort. Each time you endure pain or discomfort, your mind becomes more resilient and better equipped to handle adversity.

3. Callousing the Mind

“The only way we can change is to be real with ourselves. If you’re not real and raw, the change will not happen.”

Goggins uses the “Accountability Mirror” as a tool for self-reflection. By writing down your shortcomings and facing them honestly, you can take action to improve yourself. It’s about owning your flaws and pushing yourself to overcome them.

4. Accountability Mirror

In moments of doubt or exhaustion, Goggins recommends reaching into your "cookie jar," which is a mental reserve of all your past accomplishments and struggles you’ve overcome. This helps you draw strength when you need it most.

5. The Cookie Jar Method

“In the cookie jar, I had my failures, successes, my sorrows, and my accomplishments—all the things that make me who I am.”

Fear is often the biggest obstacle standing between you and your goals. Goggins emphasizes pushing through fear by confronting it head-on, rather than avoiding it. Confidence grows with each battle fought against fear.

6. Overcoming Fear and Doubt

Mental toughness comes from discipline, routine, and consistent self-challenge. Goggins shares his journey of turning pain and suffering into strength by adopting a mindset that embraces difficulty rather than running from it.

7. Building an Unbeatable Mindset

Goggins believes that true growth comes from embracing suffering. Pain is inevitable in life, but how you react to it defines you. Rather than avoiding discomfort, lean into it to build greater mental and physical strength.

8. Embracing Pain and Suffering

“Suffering is the true test of life.”

Goggins emphasizes radical accountability. Stop blaming circumstances, other people, or external forces. Accept complete responsibility for your successes and failures, and take control of your destiny.

9. Taking Ownership of Your Life

Life will always throw challenges your way, and the ability to adapt is what separates those who succeed from those who give up. Embracing change, staying flexible, and always pushing forward are the keys to long-term growth.

10. The Power of Adaptability

New York Times Bestseller Over 2.5 million copies sold For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In this curse-word-free edition of Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

Can't Hurt Me

Peace begins with a smile.

Identify which thoughts disturb your peace. These could be anger, jealousy, procrastination, etc. Recognizing them is the first step to managing them.

What steals my peace?

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

This helps bring your mind to the present moment. Often, we focus on the past or future, so this question grounds you in the now.

What am I thinking right now?

Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Analyze whether the current thought (e.g., anger or stress) benefits you. You'll likely find it's unhelpful, which makes it easier to let go.

Is this thought helpful?

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Ask yourself what action you should take to move away from the negative state (e.g., forgive someone, let go of anger, or overcome laziness).

What’s the best thing to do now?

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

Consider how adopting positive thoughts (like forgiveness or working hard) will improve your life. Focusing on the benefits encourages you to stay positive.

What are the benefits of positive thinking?

The key message is that managing your mind isn't easy, but with practice and persistence, it becomes second nature. Keep working on it even if you fail at first.

How To Control Your Mind | Buddhism In English

Don't just focus on the end goal like a perfect physique. It may feel good mentally but won't prepare you for the hard work. Instead, enjoy the process itself which helps sustain motivation. 
 Remember:
<ul>
<li> Visualizing outcomes can be motivating, but only if you follow through with hard work </li> 
<li> Don't get caught up in fantasizing about the end result </li>
<li> Embrace the process and find joy in the journey </li>
</ul>
 🏋️‍♀️ Keep working hard and enjoy the process! 🎉

Focus on Process over Outcome

Operating from an abundance mindset can make a big difference! Instead of feeling like you're missing out or lacking something, think of yourself as someone who enjoys and values the activity (like going to the gym or reading). This can help reduce mental resistance and make it easier to get started.
Here are some tips:
<ul>
<li>Change your perspective and see things in a positive light</li>
<li>Focus on what you already have, rather than what you lack</li>
<li>Be grateful for what you have and what you can do</li>
<li>Embrace challenges and see them as opportunities for growth</li>
</ul>

Shift Mindset from Scarcity to Abundance

Become More Productive With This Simple Trick:
 <ul>
 <li>Pair an enjoyable habit (like drinking coffee ☕️ or listening to music 🎧) with a desired habit (like reading 📚 or going to the gym 🏋🏽).</li>
 <li>By bugging habits together, you can create positive associations and make it easier to develop new habits.</li>
 </ul>

Utilize Habit Bunching

Motivation from idealized goals is temporary and not enough for consistency in the long run. It is better to build good habits and change your mindset to stay committed and achieve success. 🔑

🚨 Don't rely too much on motivation, it won't last! 👀 Shift your focus to habits and mindset shifts for sustainable progress. 🚀

Avoid Overreliance on Motivation

In order to stay motivated and happy, it's important to recognize and celebrate small achievements as well as the progress we make by consistently putting in effort. This builds our internal drive and enjoyment in the process.

How I tricked my brain to like doing hard things

"The other is always an idealized figure at an extreme, celestial or profane, but never the possible sum of both."

I believe that the abyssal sayings about the human end cannot be conceived in a more erroneous way. I insist: I have seen cherubim descend into the vast fire, and their feathers have bent toward the rocky edges of hell. Blessed are their wings, loose and sublime, surrendered to the ultimate flame of desire.

The abyssal sayings about the human end

I have also observed, with efficiency and magnitude, the reddish beings, slaves of the clouds, binding their hands and feet to the paradise of the heavens. Cursed they were, their bodies embroidered by chains, while the angels reveled in the fervor; another harp emitted the sound of the scourge for an entire demonic legion.

Cursed they were

The structures had crumbled, and I repeated in my consciousness: is this not the true will of things? Will the angel not learn through the consequence of savoring the cursed speech that bifurcates in the corners of heat? Will he not understand, by his own hand, the true weight of his redeemer’s nails and the resonance of unheard worldly screams?

Is this not the true will of things?

But will he encounter a biblical scene, or will he then discover that hell is nothing more than a stage constructed by terror? But not just any terror, rather the horror of guilt and the gratification of delving into a place where bones burn as the most common and grandiose human condition simply comes to light: the error, as important to commit as it is to transmute.

Human condition

Yet, what will the demon know of other colors and textures beyond his misty corner, perceived in its entirety by our lens as something utterly opaque? But to the eyes of the true inhabitant, hell is a place like any other, a place of learning, a stage far from absolute, simply variable depending on who beholds it.

Hell is a place like any other

The devil, being wise, will learn that every heaven, with its mechanisms of calm and shelter, is also a multifaceted and indefinable place. He cannot speak of peace and the finitude of paradise if he has never sat at the right hand of God, if his mind is occupied by one aphorism: that of thinking he will be harshly persecuted. And what will he know of the universal creator if he does not rest closely at his table, if he does not intertwine with the optics of his ideas, if at dawn he dares not ask about that eternal punishment?

The devil, being wise, will learn...

Nothing seems to me so absolute as to call it good or evil, transcendent or insufficient. The other is always an idealized figure at an extreme, celestial or profane, but never the possible sum of both.

Celestial or profane, but never the possible sum of both.

But today, now, every space and concept inevitably depends on the consciousness of the reader, and on what we choose to believe to calm it. However, if one is to act according to their vision, do not forget that performing mundane tasks for external good does not guarantee the absence of an internal hell. Nothing makes one an absolute and definitive ally of the opposing side.

Nothing makes one an absolute and definitive ally of the opposing side.

Thoughts deeply rooted in my mind and heart.
