1/ Seven things most people take a lifetime to learn (a thread):

1. The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. Full stop.

2. The slow accumulation of small, simple experiences ends up being far more valuable than most big, life-changing experiences.
2/ cont.

3. You don't have to prove anything to anybody, including yourself.

4. Things almost never turn out the way you want or expect them to. And that's all right.

5. You can't take care of others if you're unable to take care of yourself.
3/ cont.

6. Without health, you have nothing.

7. It's never too late to start. It's never too late to change.

1/ Five words we misuse/overuse (a thread)...
2/ Happiness

Most people mistake pleasure for happiness. They think moments of heightened satisfaction mean they're happy, when really, all it means is they're satisfied. True happiness is fulfillment - finding things you care about so much you're willing to sacrifice for them.
3/ Love

People mistake affection and validation for love. They assume love is occurring when something is making them feel so good they can't imagine doing something else. True love is determined by what you feel good about, even when you feel bad

1/ Five Tempting Things You Should Avoid (a thread)
2/ It's tempting to be a people-pleaser...

To go with the flow, to give up a little here and there, just to make everyone else happy.

Conflict makes us all uncomfortable. But conflict is necessary to stand up for what we need.

Sometimes it's loving to tell someone "no."
3/ It's tempting to blame others for your situation...

We all get screwed in life, one way or another. We all suffer unfairly or experience some injustice.

And while we should never excuse that, we also have to realize that we're the only ones in charge of our own lives.
