Here are 5 quotes that I live by every single day and how you can apply them to improve your mental strength ā¬ļø
1. āControl the controllableās and accept the uncontrollableāsā
Stop wasting energy fighting things you have no power over. You canāt control other people, the past, the weather, rejection or every outcome.
You CAN control your effort, attitude, actions and response.
Peace comes from knowing the difference.
2. āSpend your time chasing butterflies, theyāll fly away. Spend your time creating a beautiful garden and butterflies will come.ā š¦
Iāve learned this massively from previous relationships.
When you stop chasing people & validation and start working on yourself, it changes everything.
Work on your health, build confidence through facing fear, develop your skills and create a life youāre proud of.
When you become obsessed with building your own āgardenā, you stop needing to chase things to feel fulfilled. Ironically, thatās when the right people and opportunities start finding you.
3. āIād rather be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a warā
Build strength before life demands it from you.
Train your body, develop discipline and learn how to handle pressure.
You donāt prepare because you want hardship - you prepare because hardship is inevitable
Choose peace, but be capable.
4. āIn the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is kingā š
Most people massively overestimate whatās required to get ahead. They wait until they feel like experts before taking action⦠or just never take action at all.
Learn the basics, apply them, make mistakes, learn again and keep moving forward.
Whether itās training, business, relationships or personal development. Small amounts of knowledge consistently applied can seperate you from people who know plenty but never act.
5. āChange happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changeā
Change is uncomfortable. But eventually, staying where you are will become even more uncomfortable.
Donāt always wait for rock bottom before deciding itās time for change. Take the risk, face the fear and reap the rewards.
If you think itās not right for you, it probably isnāt.
