Time doesnt make things better.
But we can get stronger.

You are a completely new person!
I smiled at her goodbye.
I used to be the cynical, depressive, anorexic kid no one wanted as a friend.
I hadnt seen her in almost 10 years.
During this time, I have worked hard on my mental health.
I worked on rewriting my story, line after line.
Life doesnt get easier.
Time doesnt make things better.
But we can get stronger.
And we get stronger as we learn more about life and how to cope with it.
The way you think shapes your reality.
Your beliefs inevitably become your life.
Some are good and some are just holding you back.
At least, thats what I have been doing.
I Have To Pick Every Battle Or Ill Never Win.
Youll have a right to be angry.
Youll have a right to fight.
Theres just too much noise in the world and you dont have the energy to handle it all.
Decide what and who deserves your attention and let go of the rest.
What you give your energy to is what you attract into life.
The only time you win at life is when you are at peace with yourself.
I Am Either My Worst Failures Or My Greatest Successes.
You are not your promotion or the career you have chosen.
You are not the opportunity you just missed or the exam you just failed.
These are just things that happen to you.
While you may have a great deal of control over them, they dont define you.
You are defined by how you treat others and what you believe in.
Your values, the way you make people feel when they are around you, thats what defines you.
The people who care about you arent thinking about your greatest mistakes or achievements when they are around you.
The fact that you got rejected once does not mean you are not worthy of a yes.
It just means that you have to work harder.
The fact that you build a massive social following does not imply that you are a good person.
It just means that you are good at social media marketing.
The sooner you understand that, the quicker you could turn your life around.
My Material Success Reflects My Personal Growth.
I Am What People Think I Am.
Often, what people think about you has more to do with themselves than with you.
Know this: Somebodys opinion of you does not define you.
It doesnt matter if they think you might or if they think you cant.
What matters is what you believe.
You dont get in life what other people think of you.
You get what you are and what you believe.
If Im Not Better Than Them, Im Not Good Enough.
You dont have to be in the top 1% of your industry to be good enough.
You dont have to sell more than your competitors to be successful.
What you really need to do is to decide whats good enough for you.
You get to decide your standards and your self-worthno one else.
Someone elses light is not your darkness.
Somebodys success, happiness, attractiveness, or recognition does not mean the absence of yours.
You dont have to be the best or better than them.
Theres no point in comparing someones last chapter to your first one.
The Outside World Decides My Future.
But it doesnt have to be like this.
Its not about what the world gives us.
Its about what we do with it.
