Lessons I Learned in 2019

I can’t feel a certain way because others make me. I feel a certain way because I choose to.
I can be the reason of the conflict (internal or external) which I blame others for.
By playing victim, I only go on to distance me from myself. I stop seeing the difference between the pretentious self and the authentic self.
Love needs effort and patience. It is not just a feeling. It is a skill that needs to be practiced everyday.
Whether I do well in life or I screw up, I am responsible for my own actions.
What I achieve doesn’t define me. What I become, does.
I don’t have to agree with everyone to make them appreciate me.
Empathy doesn’t mean letting people walk all over me.
Crucial conversations are important for me to fuel my existence.
To be able to grow well, I need to be a friend to myself and not a competitor.
It’s important that I find little joys today over aiming for big bouts of happiness in the future.
What I say, isn’t what I value. What I do, is what I value.
It’s never truly possible for me to achieve a complete understanding of someone. I can only try to feel, what they’re feeling.
