Never give up.
Nothing to it but to do it (Ronnie Coleman)
The journey is the reward (I think this is Steve Jobs)
What can I do to move myself towards my goals right now?
These are things I usually say to myself throughout the day.
A decision is either easy, or it doesn't matter
I'm surprised by this one. What about things like marriage or a career change?
Face the world with an open heart and good things will happen / life will pay you back.
Asking someone to play cards on the train or simply gifting someone a smile can give you a positive feeling for the day. People usually mirror how you approach them, I believe being kind will make your life so much easier because others will respond with kindness (at least in the moment).
This one encouraged me to speak to strangers as I'm rather introverted and I've been carrying the idea in my heart for quite some time now.
Or as the movie Collateral framed it:
> Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, shit happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.
Waiting for motivation to take an action often means you’ll wait forever.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If that quote resonates with you, then you've never felt true fear.
Could you explain what you mean? English is not my native language, so there's a possibility for me to learn how to rephrase it; maybe resonates with me is not the right word :) I'd appreciate it!
It's possible to face it, it's possible to address the issues...But fear/panic will always be there, you can learn to live with it, but it's not a "monster you can kill".
So when it's said "Only I will remain": well...the thing is fear/panic is part of you, again you can control it sometimes/most of the time, but it will probably never "go away" or "be destroyed".
That's the whole point: fear comes to you whether you want it or not.
But I am saying that because I am "in the middle of it"...maybe people end up being able to remove completely their fears at some point...
