Happiness doesn’t start with a relationship. Happiness doesn’t start with a vacation. Happiness doesn’t start with a job. Happiness doesn’t start with money.
It’s how you deal with stress in each little moment that determines how well you achieve happiness in the end. If you want life to be happier, you need to change your present response. Happiness starts with you.
1. Words are powerful, use them wisely. 2. People come and go, but the right ones stay. 3. You are doing enough even if it doesn’t feel like it. 4. Failure is when you don’t try. 5. Random acts of kindness make everyone feel better. 6. Live for today, not for tomorrow. 7. Never look back, there is nothing there for you. 8. Overthinking kills happiness.
Gyms don’t want you to workout. Their entire business model is contingent on you not going. The average Planet Fitness has 7,500 memberships but can only host 700 workouts per day. Half of the members never step foot inside. This is the case for most low-cost gyms, and it’s also why these gyms can afford to have such low costs.
Might be a little extra motivation to know that they are literally betting on you not going. This world is designed to keep you unhealthy & unhappy. Stand up for yourself.
Think positive. Network well. Exercise daily. Eat healthy. Work hard. Stay strong. Build faith. Read more. Be happy. Rest often. Love & live. Volunteer in your free time.
And most important; Always remain true to yourself.
If you can’t manage $1,000, you can’t manage $10,000. If you’re not happy on your own, you won’t be happy in a relationship. If you don’t feel good now, you won’t feel good when you have everything you’re working toward.
Money doesn’t make you good with money. Love doesn’t make you love yourself. Success doesn’t make you happier unless you are already happy. You are your own foundation. If your foundation is not solid, nothing else can stand on it.
Constantly analyze yourself. Figure out why certain things upset you. Question your own motives. Understand your behavior. This creates a pathway for change.
Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.

A sincere person. Someone whose intentions are neither evil nor envious. Someone who genuinely wants to see you be happy, healthy, successful, and growing.
A sincere person is able to acknowledge, accept, reflect, and lead with love. They are in touch with their truth and their honesty shows it. They can be trusted to not only support you, but also guide you when you’re slipping away. If you have ever met someone like this, hold on to them.
8 Things to remember when going through tough times:
1. Everything can and will change. 2. You’ve overcome challenges before. 3. It’s a learning experience. 4. Not getting what you want can be a blessing. 5. Allow yourself to have some fun. 6. Being kind to yourself is the best medicine. 7. Other people’s negativity isn’t worth worrying about. 8. And there is always, always, always something to be thankful for.
Learn to say; That’s on you. Your behavior is on you. The way you move is on you. The choices you make are all on you. The way you live it’s all on you.
Stop absorbing the pain of other people, recognize what belongs to you and what doesn’t.
Hardships in our lives is common among people, but victimhood is a choice. Stay away from anyone who supports or chooses victim mentality.

-Always be kind to yourself. -Always take care of yourself. -Always speak good to yourself. -Always count your blessings. -Always treat yourself well. -Always respect yourself. -Always appreciate yourself. -Always value yourself. -Always be there for yourself .-Always be happy with yourself. -Always think good thoughts. -Always better yourself. -Always be patient with yourself. -Always push yourself. -Always be yourself.
You get one life to live. Don’t stay in places that don’t inspire you. Don’t stay in places that don’t encourage you. Don’t stay in places that don’t make you happy.
Go for what you want in life. Go to the areas that call you. Go to the areas that calm you. Go to the areas that inspire you to be your highest self.
Go & be the best version of yourself unapologetically.
You create self-confidence by doing instead of procrastinating, by doing instead of over-planning, by doing instead of self-sabotaging, by doing instead of complaining, by doing instead of feeling sorry for yourself.
Be an authentic version of yourself without being afraid of who you are & what you got. Self-confidence is a beautiful thing.
If you can’t manage $1,000, you can’t manage $10,000. If you’re not happy on your own, you won’t be happy in a relationship. If you don’t feel good now, you won’t feel good when you have everything you’re working toward.
Money doesn’t make you good with money. Love doesn’t make you love yourself. Success doesn’t make you happier unless you are already happy.
You are your own foundation. If your foundation isn’t solid, nothing else can stand on it.
If you want to live your life based on your feelings, you better be ready for a horrible life ahead. Feelings are temporary & a happy life is strategic.
–Shields you from negativity. -Makes you at least 25% happier. -Rewires your brain. –Eliminates stress. –Heals. -Improves sleep. -Boosts self-esteem and performance. -Enhances the law of attraction. -Improves relationships.
If you ever get the chance, go alone. walk alone, travel alone, live alone, & dance alone.
Even if it’s just for a while. If you ever get the chance, learn who you are when the world isn’t demanding you be one way or another. Most people only know how to stand on their own if someone else will stand beside them. Don’t let that be your story.
When you get the chance, know that the opportunity to walk alone, even for a bit, is a rare gift, one that will hand you insight that can change the course of your life. Be an authentic version of yourself. BE YOU.
Do you believe that there are no accidents in life?
Everything happens for a reason. Every people we meet will have a role in our lives, be it big or small. Some will hurt, betray and make us cry, to become stronger. Some will teach us lessons, not to change us, but for us to realize our mistakes and to help us grow and make us a better person. And some would simply inspire and love us, to make us happy.
Constantly analyze yourself. Figure out why certain things upset you. Question your own motives. Understand your behavior. This creates a pathway for change.
Acknowledging why you do the things you do is the first step in shifting out of toxic patterns.
There is so much abundance, success, and happiness available to you. Work for what you want. Crave it. Consume it.
Do what it takes to create what you need. On the journey you will lose, you will be told no, but that doesn’t mean you’re not worthy. Success is a choice, choose it.
Then stop letting the smallest things ruin your whole entire day. If you’re bored with your daily routine, do something unexpected.
Stop complaining about how alone you are when you’re surrounded by people who actually care about you. Forget all the drama and let go of all the grudges you’ve been holding. Stop wasting time lingering over all that you could have, should have and would have done. Stop spending your days thinking of how much better you could do. Stop longing for something that has been and always will be out of your reach.
Just live the days as they come. Wake up every morning and smile at the wonderful day that awaits you. Take a risk for once. Let yourself be happy, because you deserve it.
Have a goal. Wake up earlier. Smile. Start to run. Make your breakfast. Travel. Cuddle your horse. Say “I adore you” to someone. Laugh. Discover something new about yourself & others. Sing. Dance. Own a business. Sleep well. Go to that specific place you desire. Be in peace with yourself. Take a picture on the top of that mountain.
No matter the kind of goal, have one. And fight for it. Wake up everyday with motivation, and fall asleep with a smile. Live your life to the fullest, every second. Do exactly what you want, and accomplish it. You are the master of your life. You decide. You create. So go. Never doubt of your capacities, and go.
You know you sometimes think yourself into unhappiness and depression.
But did you know, you could also think yourself into happiness? By positive thinking, you will be well, you will prosper, you will get in touch with what you want & what you meant to be.
Become the master of your thoughts. Stop thinking about how tough life is. Stop thinking about the future and the past. Think of positivity and love, and express these thoughts daily. You will become what you think. (Not my words.)
If you’re working on changing bad habits, unhealthy thought patterns, negative emotions, or toxic behaviors, know that you are healing a part of this world by healing yourself. Everyone around you will benefit and they will be served by your wholeness.
It’s hard sometimes and I know you want to quit, but this is the work that ultimately changes the world. SELF IMPROVEMENT also improves everything around you.
You can’t skip chapters, that’s not how life works. You have to read every line, meet every character. You won’t enjoy all of it. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don’t want to read. You will have moments when you don’t want the pages to end.
But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don’t miss out.
When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds, you know that the seed will grow in time.
Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready.
If everyone in the world were to hold on to all their past resentments and cling to their pain, there would be no hope for the future because everyone would be angry and bitter, glued to their past. The practice of forgiveness is powerful beyond words. Forgiveness is an infectiously beautiful act of humility. It means you are able to put aside your ego and decide that it’s better to be happy and at peace than to be “right”.
Invest your energy in things that make you happy and don’t worry about being right. The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. (Not my words.)
If you’ve never tasted a bad apple, you will not appreciate a good apple. You have to experience life to understand life. You have to endure disappointment in life, all kind of disappointments, you have to fall flat on your face and feel the pain. Accept that a lot of your “friends” rather see you fall and fail. Jealousy is bad disease. It’s hard to accept and it has a bitter taste, but that’s life my friend.
At the end if you don’t give up, success is inevitable. We have to fall before we find out who we really are and what we are capable of.
– Easy to spot a red car when you are always thinking of a red car. – Easy to spot opportunity when you are always thinking of opportunity. – Easy to find reasons to be mad when you are always thinking of reasons to be mad.
You become what you constantly think about. Watch yourself.
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.
YOUR JOB DOESN’T SUCK. Monday doesn’t suck. The weather doesn’t suck. Your partner doesn’t suck. Your NEGATIVE MINDSET sucks. Your lack of self-worth and self-love sucks.
The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude to life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstanstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. We can’t change our past. We can’t change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to us is 90% how I react to it. (Not my words.)
You know you sometimes think yourself into unhappiness and depression. But did you know, you could also think yourself into happiness? By positive thinking, you will be well & you will prosper. Become the master of your thoughts.

To attract better, you have to become better. You can’t do the same things and expect change. Transform your mindset. Upgrade your habits. Think positive. It all starts with you and how you feel about yourself. That’s the only way forward; CONSISTENCY. Be hopeful and consistent with your evolution.
We must understand how important it is to be consistent. Everything that has value in life is a product of consistency. Success, health, fitness, wealth, friendships, relationships, and all other aspirations are all about consistency.
You are responsible for your happiness. In fact, you create it. You attract it. You manifest it. You are the architect of your reality. You choose your thoughts, your perceptions, and your reaction to external forces.
You possess all of the tools needed to expand your awareness, to orchestrate the evolution of your consciousness, to choose happiness, to choose love. You are that powerful. Create the life you deserve. Vibrate love.
At some point you have to stop being so angry, you have to stop being so sad, you have to stop killing yourself, and start being gentle with yourself. At some point you have to just let it all go and be happy. You have to spread love instead of being afraid of it. You have to love yourself and everyone around you before its too late.
Don’t waste away being unhappy over trivial things. Don’t do it. Don’t do it to yourself and dont let other people do it to you. Life is too small to celebrate the goodness & too long to stay unhappy. BE A HAPPY HAPPENING VERSION OF YOURSELF.
Understand this: You can sound confident and have anxiety. You can look healthy but feel like shit. You can look happy and be miserable inside. You can be good looking and feel ugly. So be kind. BE KIND because every person is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
I’m not perfect and I don’t have to be. When I first realized this I felt an intense relief. This realization allowed me to actually become a better person. It gave me the strength to embrace my flaws and learn from my mistakes. The pressure melted away. I wouldn’t have been able to start examining my mistakes if I felt like I had to be perfect.
Once I found out it was okay to be imperfect, everything changed for the better. Don’t criticize yourself for making mistakes. Just be conscious not to make the same mistake twice.
1. The past can’t be changed. 2. Opinions don’t define your reality. 3. Everyone’s journey is different. 4. Judgements are not about you. 5. Overthinking will lead to sadness. 6. Happiness is found within. 7. Your thoughts affect your mood. 8. Smiles are contagious. 9. Kindness is free. 10. It’s okay to let go and move on. 11. What goes around, comes around. 12. Things always get better with time.
When you wake up each morning, take a moment to think about the kind of life you want to have. Consciously choose to have a happy life. A life that is filled with love, laughter, good health and success. Then begin your day focused on the things you can do to make this your reality.
Be silly. Be fun. Be different. Be crazy. Be you, because life is too short to be anything but happy. Choose a happy life.
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.
Some things we can let go of in the moment. We can shift our perspective or have curiosity rather than judgement. We can choose to be happy rather than needing to show we’re right. We can change how we’re breathing affecting how we’re feeling. We can walk it off. We can check in at the end of the day and let go. Notice where we missed an opportunity and choose not to carry it into tomorrow.
Some other things take time to process. Some things are buried deep where we stored them. Some things are not quite ready. Sometimes we’re comfortable in our pain because it’s what we know. And sometimes we think we’ve healed something only to revisit it later on a deeper level.
We always need to be gentle with ourselves and compassionate when it’s taken us longer than we wanted to let it go. Practice patience, trust the process.
Good health is something all the riches in the world can’t buy. Take good care of yourself and count your blessings. Be thankful you woke up today because not every day is guaranteed. I spent so long taking my god-given health for granted that I forgot how blessed I am to be alive today. Our body is our temple. Treat it like your sanctuary.
Do something good for your body today. Go for a run or a hike or a gym or take a yoga class. But most importantly, be grateful for the life you’re living today. The greatest wealth is health.
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.
Real life is so much more interesting than anything you will see on social media. So please, just put down your phone and pick up your head. Be present with the human beings you spend your time with, be present with yourself, be present with the world. Don’t forget to live because you think you’re living through your phone. Trust me when I say “real life is the feeling you get when you support your friends and see them doing the things that make their cells dance”.
Real life is 8am, wrapped within the limbs of someone who makes your stomach feel like it is buzzing with an electric kind of happiness. Real life is sitting with yourself, in all of your depth and your decay, and not distracting your mind from all that is seeking to be felt within you. Real life is gritty, it breaks you open, and it is meant to weather you in the most beautiful and meaningful ways, but you will miss all of that if you are looking down. Always choose to look up.
You are responsible for your happiness. In fact, you create it. You attract it. You manifest it. You are the architect of your reality. You choose your thoughts, your perceptions, and your reaction to external forces. You posses all of the tools needed to expand your awareness, to orchestrate the evolution of your consciousness, to choose happiness, to choose love.
You are that powerful. Create the life you deserve. Vibrate love.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Way back my bestfriend Demi suggested it. Shared it because it still sounds fun anyday. Listen to it.)
You know you sometimes think yourself into unhappiness and depression. But did you know, you could also think yourself into happiness? By positive thinking, you will be well, you will prosper, and your prayers will be answered. Become the master of your thoughts.
Stop thinking about how tough life is. Stop thinking about the future and the past. Think of your good deeds and love. And express these thoughts daily. You will become what you think.
The WORLD is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more?
• How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. • How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about tax & immigration. • How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. • How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. • How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. • How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind.
To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.
Everything will make sense someday. So for now, laugh at your mistakes, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that “everything really does happen for a reason”.
Stay away from people who usually talk about their “RIGHTS” instead of prioritising own duties & responsibilities. That’s a garbage mindset, you will never get anything positive from such people.
MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY. Nothing comes above DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES towards your family & your motherland.
– OLD CLOTHES: BECAUSE YOUR CLOTHES DON’T DEFINE YOUR TALENT.
– POOR FRIENDS: BECAUSE THERE IS NO STATUS IN FRIENDSHIP.
– OLD PARENTS: BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THEM.
– SIMPLE LIVING: BECAUSE SUCCESS CAN’T BE JUDGED BY APPEARANCE.
(This video got nothing to do with the post above. I shared it because I liked it. Mayan calendar definitely deserves a look back, watch it for some fun. Big fan of SNL either ways.)
If your friends aren’t discussing health/fitness/diet, skills, success, stocks, investment, business & giving you positive encouragement, then you’re in the wrong circle.
– Wake up early. – Work out regularly. – Eat good, real food. – Live below your means. – Hangout with true friends who share similar goals & vision. – Focus on building more than one source of income. – Do what you love for work. – Don’t get into meaningless relationships. – Never hit the snooze button. – Create a routine. – Write down your plans & journal your life’s journey with it’s success.
HAPPINESS is not fulfilling every pleasure or getting every outcome you desire. Happiness is being able to enjoy life with a peaceful mind that is not constantly craving more. It is the inner peace that comes with embracing change.
