Life is about developing a legacy that will last beyond your living years, not trying to stretch the living years to an unnatural extension.
Trying to fit a role may mean doing things you would not normally do. Make sure that a part of your motivation is based on your wanting to do the things.
You will often find your extra effort for others wasted and not valued or appreciated. Don’t expect a magic moment of clarity to spur you one, but don’t just stop doing the extra either
You have the right to give up on bad books, boring TV shows, dumb ideas, and people who do nothing positive for you.
There are some activities you are not meant to improve upon because there are some activities you are not meant to do because they get in the way of the activities you are supposed to work on to improve.
Regular people think their regular lives do not translate to great stories to tell others. This is never true. The problem is never the story itself. The problem is not taking enough time in the editing process.
Chances are, if you had a chance to see the burdens that others you know have to carry in complete pain and detail, you might not feel so bad about your own problems and find the extra motivation to eliminate with as many as possible, once and for all.
There are plenty of people in the world at large looking to leach off your personality and you personally. Even some of the people with good intentions can end up being bad for you mentally. Combat this by getting mentally tougher and making sure to keep your mind right.
You don’t need special training just to be there for a person. You just need some patience and the ability to really listen.
It’s good to build resilience, but sometimes it isn’t your fault if something really gets to you.
