How we frame something affects not just our thinking but our emotional state. It may seem a small deal, but the words we select - the ones we filter out and the ones we eventually choose to put forward - are a mirror to our thinking. Clarity of language is clarity of thought - and the expression of a certain sentiment, no matter how innocuous it seems, can change your learning, your thinking, your mindset, your mood, your whole outlook.

“There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.”

“Learning requires an admission that we don’t know things and need to improve. Some feel too insecure to admit this, so their ideas become set and their skills stagnate. They cover this up with an air of certainty and strong opinions, or moral superiority, but the underlying insecurity cannot be shaken.”

Robert Greene

Do not chase another human being. Instead, chase your curiosity. Chase your development and your goals. Chase your passion. Strive to work for something bigger than yourself, and instead of trying to convince someone that you fit within their world--build your own.

Strength comes from struggle. When you learn to see your struggles as opportunities to become stronger, better, wiser, then your thinking shifts from "I can't do this" to "I must do this."

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can't feel real joy unless you've felt heartache. You can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can't know what it's like to feel holy until you know what it's like to feel really fucking evil. And you can't be birthed again until you've died.

Sometimes we have to fall before we soar. It just takes some of us more tries to get our wings than others.

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
