Some people walk into your life as pit stops to remind you of who you are.
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.
- Maria Konnikova, The Biggest Bluff
“I was born and reborn continuously, different people draw different me.”
- Anand Thakur
“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
“We have a responsibility to set out to discover what we are made for, to discover our life’s work, to discover what we are called to do. And after we discover that, we should set out to do it with all the strength and all of the power that we can muster.”
Robert Greene
Let people be hungry for you. Be unavailable from time to time, you're focusing on your shit.

As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy, and focus.

Flowers teach us that nothing is permanent: not their beauty, not even the fact that they will inevitably wilt, because they will still give new seeds.
Remember this when you feel joy, pain, or sadness.
Everything passes, grows old, dies, and is reborn.
Paulo Coelho, The Spy
