"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death’s final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it."

"People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy".

"You are living as if destined to live for ever; your own frailty never occurs to you; you don’t notice how much time has already passed, but squander it as though you had a full and overflowing supply — though all the while that very day which you are devoting to somebody or something may be your last. You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire… How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end! How stupid to forget our mortality, and put off sensible plans to our fiftieth and sixtieth years, aiming to begin life from a point at which few have arrived"

"Everyone hustles his life along, and is troubled by a longing for the future and weariness of the present. But the man who … organizes every day as though it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the next day… Nothing can be taken from this life, and you can only add to it as if giving to a man who is already full and satisfied food which he does not want but can hold. So you must not think a man has lived long because he has white hair and wrinkles: he has not lived long, just existed long. For suppose you should think that a man had had a long voyage who had been caught in a raging storm as he left harbor, and carried hither and thither and driven round and round in a circle by the rage of opposing winds? He did not have a long voyage, just a long tossing about".

Embrace elements/products that facilitate your journey, allowing you to navigate life smoothly while maintaining focus on your life's purpose

 

 

"Faith is the willingness to give ourselves over, at times, to things we do not fully understand".

"reflections on self-forgiveness, the relationship between vulnerability and freedom, and the art of growing older".

"I think there is more going on than we can see or understand, and we need to find a way to lean into the mystery of things — the impossibility of things — and recognise the evident value in doing that, and summon the courage it requires to not always shrink back into the known mind."

"It seems to me that my best ideas are accidents within a controlled context. You could call them informed accidents. It’s about having a deep understanding of what you’re doing but, at the same time, being free enough to let the chips fall where they may. It’s about preparation, but it’s also about letting things happen… It seems that just by being open, you become a conduit for something else, something magical, something energising"

Just be open to yourself, know yourself, and let yourself fly high. Learn to accept yourself, give yourself what you want, try to understand and align with your heart and brain. Open yourself to this world, be you, and you will find your beauty.

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think".

"I’ve seen the film hundreds of times and yet the following still seemed as if I was hearing it for the first time: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
As I thought about the scene over and over again, it made me think of the following, “People only hear what they want to hear.”
This case was not any different.
Christopher’s message to Pooh stood out to me because that’s what I wanted or needed to hear.
I needed to hear this message in order to remind myself of the importance to continue creating spaces for people to be understood and appreciated.
I needed to hear this message to remind myself that despite the current adversity many of us are facing around the world, there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.
My hope is that by sharing this, it’ll remind you that you have unique gifts within you and you have what it takes to get through any challenge that’s in front of you.
Just remember, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

So get up, have all you want/need, equip yourself, and start doing because believe it, you have it in you.

"Knock knock. Who’s there? Doubt. Doubt who? Doubt you’re gonna get anywhere in life because you have nothing to offer! —Why would you ever let that inside?"

"Everyone else doubts themselves too! Even the people who appear to have their lives together. So stop letting other people’s success make you think, “He’s one in a million” or “That could never happen to me.” Because that person was thinking the same thing all along—he just didn’t let it get in the way."

"If you allow it, doubt will kill your dreams before failure ever gets a chance"

"Doubt is the medium we use to draw our limitations. Without it, the future is truly a boundless canvas."

"Taking a risk may make you look foolish in the end, but yielding to doubt will make you look…well, you’ll never know, will you?"

"I suppose some of us have to surrender to doubt, to make way for those who will reach their goals. So you’re either getting pushed out of the way, or you’re pushing your own way through. In either case, pushing is happening. And in either case, you’re going to get some bruises"

 

The truth has been told above, so get up, put this letter of 'DOUBT' aside, and start omitting our boundaries.
