Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them.
Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others.
And they still love deeply.
And they still care.
Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt.
If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.

Stop running away from negative emotions.
Stop running away from feelings.
Stop pretending like you have it all together.
Start accepting that you feel messed up.
Let yourself breakdown to get ready for a breakthrough.
Sometimes when you are always focusing on being positive, you are avoiding the pain that makes you stronger.
DON’T BE POSITIVE, BE AUTHENTIC.

You don’t have to be brave,
you just have to keep trying.
You don’t have to be strong,
you just have to keep going.
Maybe your superpower is refusing to give up,
even on your weakest days when you feel you’re not enough.

As for honoring emotions, I’ve always said “you need to allow yourself to feel what you feel”.
Don’t push feelings away or tell yourself you’re not allowed to feel sad, happy etc.
You are allowed to feel.
Your emotions are valid.
But you also need to learn how to deal with them.
Try to figure out why you are feeling the way you are and then move forward from there.
When you’re happy, truly let yourself be happy.
When you’re sad, let yourself be sad as well.
But then know when it’s time to heal and move forward.
And I know this can be hard and it’s something I’m still working on.
Value yourself.
Express yourself.
Honour your feelings.
Work on becoming a legit version of who you are.
Be a shameless authentic version of yourself.

If you don’t learn how to CONTROL your own emotions, they will learn how to take CONTROL OVER YOU.
You have to train your mind to be STRONGER than your feelings or else you’ll lose every single TIME.
How to make yourself do what you don’t want to do:
1. Rather than listening to the voice in your head that is screaming “I hate this & I don’t want to do this”, think about why it is a GOOD thing to do.
2. Instead of trying to pretend that you don’t feel this way, accept that you are feeling very blah and negative.
3. Don’t think about results and how well you think you’ll do, as this could raise your feelings of anxiety and fear, just think about “right now” and the first thing you can do.
4. Accept that life is tough, and is full of things that suck, but recognise that doing hard stuff is better in the end.
You’ll likely have more choices and freedom, if you do.
5. Just do a little bit for now, then give yourself a proper break, then go back and do some more, and soon you’ll find you’re in the flow.
6. Don’t allow your mind to wander and think of other things.
Stay focused for that short time and then stop, and have fun.

7 IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS TO REMIND OURSELVES EVERY DAY:
1. Personality is not set in stone.
You are able to take control or change it the way you like.
2. Never leave your parents.
They are the reason you are here.
3. Never get confused to select between love and friendship.
Both have their respective parts to play.
4. When in anger, isolate yourself.
Give yourself some time.
Finally think about the situation again with a calm mind.
5. People say “Follow your heart”.
Not in every situation.
Instead “Listen to your heart. Act With Your Brain”.
6. Time heals almost everything.
Give some time and experience the change.
7. Thoughts control your Feelings.
Feelings control your Actions.
Actions control your Results.
POSITIVE THOUGHTS = POSITIVE RESULTS.

Anger is such a powerful emotion, so much so that when we really experience it, it has the tendency to cloud our judgment and our ability to reason.
We have to accept our feelings but also know that when we don’t regulate our anger it has the ability to destroy our common sense.
Don’t let your anger get the best of you.
Think rationally and be careful of how your emotions affect others.
When anger rises, your conscience falls, so be aware of your self-righteousness and try to see it from all points of view.
Tap OUT..✌️
Your anger?
It’s telling you where you feel powerless.
Your anxiety?
It’s telling you that something in your life is off balance.
Your fear?
It’s telling you what you care about.
Your apathy?
It’s telling you where you’re overextended and burnt out.
Your feelings aren’t random, they are messengers.
And if you want to get anywhere, you need to be able to let them speak to you, and tell you what you really need.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Adults seeking advice from elementary school kids on how to cope up with life, literally the world is losing it’s sense of balance. Thinking of kids, this is more than cute in my eyes. I asked my friend Frank’s 20 month old nephew what he wants to eat when we were in supermarket. He replied; “EVERYTHING IN THAT” while pointing his finger to the ice cream freezer. Why can’t adults be this simple as kids!! LIFE IS FUN, LET IT BE.)

In a generation of people who want to be heartless, and empty of feelings, then call it SAVAGE, it’ll be hard to be someone who is what a HUMAN should be.
Do not become like the world.
Be loyal,
be truthful,
be consistent,
be emotional,
and be full of feelings.
Be hungry for love,
be thirsty for affection,
and anything else human beings ought to desire.
With time moving up, you will experience people who match your energy, enthusiasm & optimism.
Let others be foolish and cold.
Don’t dim your light to become as dark as they are.
(This Instagram post got nothing to do with the post above. My love for G-Shock watches goes back to A-level/high school days. Not a secret i am a huge sneakerhead, but i love watches too. YES I have some 46 watches right now, 7 are Casio G-shock watches. And when my bestie DEMI sees this at evening, she can guess what to gift me during thanksgiving dinner.)😜

HOW TO KNOW YOU’RE GROWING:
1. You commit to and practice observing yourself.
2. You notice a story you’re telling yourself.
3. You set a boundary you may not have set before.
4. You honour a commitment to yourself.
5. You take ownership and accountability when there’s something to own.
6. You can see another perspective outside of your own.
7. You see the pain of others in their reactivity without over personalizing.
8. You move away from changing others and move towards integrating the change you’d like to see for yourself.
GROWTH is often uncomfortable, messy, and full of feelings you weren’t EXPECTING. But it’s necessary.

FEELINGS, the thing about this way that you feel right now is that it’s only temporary.
I know that your mind is consumed right now, suffocating; it’s like you can’t find a way to think about anything other than the things that are causing you anxiety.
These feelings don’t last.
It may not feel like it right now, but this feeling will fade; maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you will smile again, you will feel like you again, you will feel happy and full of life again.
Nothing is permanent.
That’s the bittersweet part about life.
That’s why it’s so important to appreciate the truly amazing parts and people in your life while also understanding that the bad days won’t last forever.
Always be present, always be grateful, always know that you’ll get through this obstacle and the one after that.
You’re so much stronger than you think you are right now.
Think about it; you’ve gotten through every tough day in your life so far, and this is no different.
Take a big breath and think of all the things you have to be grateful for and breathe out all the bad.
You are in control of how you feel.
You are in control of this moment.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL. PERIOD.

Dealing with people is easy as butter. Learn by EXPERIENCE, not by MISTAKES. If mistakes don’t change, remember you have an AIRPLANE mode in your mouth & feelings too just like your smartphone. It’s time to activate both.
Tap OUT.💪
People who fuck with other’s FEELINGS are unsure about their own FEELINGS. Feel them once, & leave them there till they realize their own game. COMPASSION & COCKBLOCK are two complete different words. First shouldn’t work for next. Enjoy your life.
