Imagine The Most Incredible Version Of Yourself. Close Your Eyes And Picture Her. What Does She Look

romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won’t cure your mental illness, but it’ll make it easier to exist in this world.

Today, become somebody else.

Just for one day, become whoever you want to be.

Think new thoughts. Speak different words. Act in a new way.

Just one day.

When you change your habits, you change your personality.

When you change your personality, your whole life shifts.

One day. You can do this.

“To change anything on the outside, you must become the change on the inside. How the changes will happen on the outside is not up to you. That is the job of the Universe. Your job is to radiate all good from the inside, and the outside circumstances will change to reflect the `all good´ inside you.”

- The Secret

Every year of my life, I realize how little I knew the year before, about myself, the world, others. And it both fascinates and terrifies me, how ignorant I really am. Growing up seems to be a lifetime journey toward the death of our own ignorance.

“And I say to myself: A moon will rise from my darkness.
 وأَقول لنفسِي: سَيطلعُ مِن عَتْمَتِي قَمَر.”

— Mahmoud Darwish

I can’t emphasise this lesson enough.

The ONLY way to truly grow, flourish and get what you want is to do the OPPOSITE of what your comfort zone tells you to do.

Everything you dream of in life? The incredible potential within you that is ready to be fulfilled? That’s all waiting for you on the other side of your comfort zone. When you’re faced with a decision that needs to be made, doing the scary thing will be what gives you the opportunities you need and desire; as well as turbocharging your inner evolution into someone stronger, self-respecting, smarter, savvier, happier and more confident. 

No one else cares for your success, so you have to care. You have to force yourself to get up early, you have to force yourself to turn your phone off and revise, you have to force yourself to workout, you have to care for the whole world because no one else cares until they start seeing results. And they won’t ever see your results if you don’t care enough first. It’s your life, they are your goals, your dreams, it will be your success but it has to be your effort and your work first and foremost x

I’ve decided I’m going to become a bitch, the baddest bitch actually. I’m talking waking up early, exercising because it gets my heart pumping, eating and enjoying whatever I want, working on my hobbies, channeling my mind to think about the dream girl inside me and making her become a reality. I’m putting in the work and putting all my energy and love into myself like never before. Why? Because I deserve it!

Beautiful Sintra, Portugal.
