negative self-talk can develop so quickly if you aren't conscious of your thoughts

As I type this, just got a call that someone important to me just passed.

But this person had always made me realize that you may have family and friends, but how many do you have that really check on you just to see how you’re doing?

I met this person almost 10 years ago and we’ve been consistently keeping in touch ever since.

What do you do to counteract this?

Life really is what you make it.

meditation and yoga

B****es ain’t s***

ikr😂😂😂

Love to see that, man

I've started going bald at a young age, I've a shaved head at 23. I'm not a gym rat (I'm getting started though), so I'm on the skinny but athletic side of things).
I'm also not that tall, 5'7.
Confidence is key.
Everything else just adds to your confidence, but it doesn't have to.

Never decide if a girl is out of your league, let her do that, because she might not think so.

Everything can seem like sunshine and rainbows but behind the scenes you can be crying in your car.
That might be the case for you, it could be the case for those around you - be nice.

Don't confuse specialised knowledge for intelligence - we're all stupid.

Nothing makes sense, it doesn't have to.

Being able to fluently talk s*** is some of the most valuable life skills.
It's gotten me dates, friends and it's gotten me jobs.
A lot of people confuse ability to talk s*** with actual intelligence.

Focus on the little things, leave the big picture for keeping yourself up at night, but wake up do to the small things right - work out, eat right, positive self-talk, personal hygiene.

Measure yourself against your past self, that's the only true constant, you haven't got the faintest clue about anyone else in your life or on your phone.

Smile more often.

great thread

Literally

Basing an action off assumptions will most likely lead to failure

In this society,
yes.

comparison is the thief of joy

focusing on things that you've accomplished rather than focusing on things you haven't yet accomplished is healthier and will give you more courage and confidence to reach those goals

No matter how good you are to someone they’ll let you go

A large amount of game in here

Become Michael B. Jordan

crazy how I came to this realization 2 days ago. As someone who has been introverted most of my life and avoids socializing, ive realized that this is why my life has been ass, I now try to say yes every time my homies hmu to go out and I try to meet new people

and being social af can bring more opportunities that can benefit your life.

This is all so obvious but I never really realized or didn't want to

Bump for all my sagacious posters

Words of advice and general vague statements to live by are contradictory and ultimately you have to live your life how you see it and understand that something that may be applicable to you at one point can very easily change. I just live by simple rules these days. I try to be positive, be a good person, be understanding, and continue to grow. Life is too short to really get caught up in living in some sort of societal norms that we’ve all just accepted for some reason
