So many people look for the "secret" to making things quick and fun. But that just isn't life. It's about consistently turning up and doing the boring stuff, no matter how you feel. Discipline is the way to a great and productive life.
The older I get, the more I realize that success at most things isn't about finding the one trick or secret nobody knows about. It's consistently doing the boring, mundane things everyone knows about but is too unfocused/undisciplined to do.
Get good at boring.

This is so true. Everything has a downside, so pick the best things for your life.
Being unhealthy is painful, being healthy is painful, having no relationships is painful, having relationships is painful, being lazy is painful, working really hard is painful. It's just different flavors of pain.
So you might as well pick the flavors of pain that are gonna help you and give you a better set of life.

Surround yourself with the best people you can find, but also know how to be happy alone.

100% sure Carl Jung has better advice than any "self-help guru"

Cut the crap. Literally, cut the unnecessary distractions out of your life—delete apps, unfriend and unfollow toxic people, stop committing to activities you don't care about. Life is too short.

This is true. Geniuses aren't like everyone else, nor do they try to be.

It's a simple fact of life: if you want to do something incredible, something that makes you stand out above the rest, then you have to become comfortable being different—that means being misunderstood, criticized, even hated.

You are not stressed from doing too much. You are stressed from doing too little of what you care about.

This is so well said. Yes, trans want to confuse, silence and control everyone and punish those who disagree with anything they say. To me, as a woman, it feels like COVID lockdowns and mandates all over again. Coercive control.
Trans is a type of communism that is just a tool to confuse, silence and control the masses by those who wish to control everything

Most of your doubts are imaginary. Most of your limitations are self-imposed. Also: most of your excuses suck.

The people who seem most at peace aren't the ones who got everything they wanted. They're the ones who stopped wanting everything they couldn’t have.

I’ll never forget his red eyes bulging out of his head. He was in agony.
When I tried to move Him Rocky he would just collapse in fear. His blood results said he was as good as dead.
Today just 23 days later he is standing tall and proud with 50% eyesight back. ❤️

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese has stunningly stopped the allowance to a deceased Victoria Cross recipient, who was killed in action fighting for this country in Afghanistan, parents who attend events in his honour.
Cameron Baird, 32, was killed in act of bravery that won him the Victoria Cross but cost him his life on the battlefield of Afghanistan in 2013.
Since then, honouring their son, his legacy and his sacrifice has been a devoted duty for Doug and Kay Baird.
“It’s extremely important that we represent Cameron because he can no longer speak for himself”
Living Victoria Cross recipients are entitled to a $5,696 to cover travel costs to VC events.
The Bairds were awarded half of that allowance to attend events in their son’s honour but Anthony Albanese has now put a stop to that.
Doug Baird said he was “shocked” and in “disbelief” at the ruling.
The Albanese Government has said the decision “will not be overturned”
With the $300 million that Albo spent on the prosecution of Ben Roberts Smith and now the snubbing of Cameron Bairds family.
Albanese’s disdain for our servicemen and woman is clear.
He hates us.
