Everything changes, every second.

Embrace change and realize it happens for a reason. It won’t always be obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth it.

What you have today may become what you had by tomorrow.
You never know.
Things change, often spontaneously.
People and circumstances come and go.
Life doesn’t stop for anybody.
It moves rapidly and rushes from calm to chaos in a matter of seconds, and happens like this to people every day.
It’s likely happening to someone nearby right now.
Sometimes the shortest split second in time changes the direction of our lives.
A seemingly innocuous decision rattles our whole world like a meteorite striking Earth.

Entire lives have been swiveled and flipped upside down, for better or worse, on the strength of an unpredictable event.

And these events are always happening.

However good or bad a situation is now, it will change.
That’s the one thing you can count on.
So when life is good, enjoy it.
Don’t go looking for something better every second.
Happiness never comes to those who don’t appreciate what they have while they have it.

What you own is not who YOU are

Stuff really is just stuff, and it has absolutely no bearing on who we are as a person.

Most of us can make do with much less than we think we need. That’s a valuable reminder, especially in a hugely consumer-driven culture that focuses more on material things than meaningful connections and experiences.

You have to create your own culture.

Don’t watch TV, don’t read every fashion magazine, and don’t consume too much of the evening news.
Find the strength to fill your time with meaningful experiences.
The space and time you are occupying at this very moment is LIFE, and if you’re worrying about Kim Kardashian or Lebron James or some other famous face, then you are disempowered.
You’re giving your life away to marketing and tricksy gimmicks, created by big companies to ultimately motivate you to want to dress a certain way, look a certain way, and be a certain way.

Tragic, this kind of thinking.
Brainwashing.
What is real is YOU and your friends and your family, your loves, your highs, your hopes, your plans, your fears, etc.

Too often we’re told that we’re not important, we’re just peripheral to what is.

“Get a degree, get a job, get a car, get a house, and keep on getting.”

And it’s sad, because someday you’ll wake up and realize ….
And all you’ll want then is to reclaim your mind by getting it out of the hands of the brain washers who want to turn you into a drone that buys everything that isn’t needed, to impress everyone that isn’t important.

You have to create your own culture.

Thinking and doing are two very different things

Things…
Success, girls, money, etc.
They never come to look for you while you wait around thinking about them.

You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. Knowledge is basically useless without action. Good things don’t come to those who wait; they come to those who work.

To ask oneself what’s really important and then have the courage to build your life around your answer.

And remember, if you wait until you feel 100% ready to begin, you’ll likely be waiting the rest of your life.
