We like to make things harder than they are. That way if we do actually try and aren't great right away, we have the built in excuse. Instead, just be curious and enjoy the process of learning.

Basic needs to stay alive are food, water and shelter. You can cut out all the other entertainment stuff and still be fine. But then you would "feel" like you're behind. You see your feelings get in the way more than they help...

And the truth shall set you free! Am uncomfortable reality is way easier to handle than a nice lie in the end. The thing still exists and the longer you delay, the harder it gets to deal with.

Make yourself unshakable by being strong physically, mentally, and spiritually. That sets you apart and makes your enemies think twice about coming after you. When they can't rattle you, they move on.

The facts don't need to match your feelings. And if they don't match, update your feelings, not the facts.

No matter what, life goes on. Might as well find a way to enjoy the moments you can rather than focus on the ones you don't enjoy. Accept them for what they are, then let it move through.

If you're not willing to make changes, then people trying to help you grow or heal are actually wasting time. In order to do those things, something has to change.

Even the ancient thinkers knew acting through your emotions was a recipe for disaster.

Running from your problems never solves the problem. At some point you need to address the underlying issue. Maybe a part of the solution is to move on, but that needs to be explored and understood to be part of the solution, not just a bandaid.

Just because they are really happening doesn't make them accurate or mean they are your instruction manual.
