SOME QUOTES TO LIVE BY:

These are some quotes that are hanging on my wall. I come back to visit them every day. Some resonate more than others at different time periods of my life. This has been a massive guiding force and I wanted to share them here on my blog. 

1. Girl, you study, you work hard, you dress well, you put yourself together every morning, you manage your money, you are educated and respectful, you are loyal, you have vision and plan for the future. Who doesn't value that doesn't deserve you.
2.  Rather than wasting your time thinking if you made the right decision, make the decision right.
3.  Everything is flowing according to what you can handle. God gives you only what, when and how you can handle something. Have faith.
4.  Hope asks you to walk through fire, faith asks you to jump over it.
5. Eat like you love yourself, move like you love yourself, speak like you love yourself, act like you love yourself.
6. Hard truth: If you wait until you feel 'better' to start living, you will be waiting forever. Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn't always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you.
7. No more chasing, no more double texting, no more begging, no more stressing when you're going to text me back, no overthinking over you, no more nights wondering if I was good enough. It's a wrap. It's time to heal.
8. When you're doing something, fully do it.
9. Take things one day at a time to make it easier to be accountable.
10. The beautiful thing about life is we can always hit reset. I took a shower, made some tea, forgave myself for my  mistakes, made a new plan, prayed and tomorrow I will start fresh, you can too.
11. Stop wishing it was easier. Stop wishing it would happen faster. Stop wishing the struggle away. This is the part of your story where you build resilience, discipline, self-respect. The part where you shed who you were and become who you're meant to be. Skip the hard, and you skip the growth. Skip the wait, and you skip the wisdom. You don't become stronger by making the weight lighter. You become strong by lifting it. Day after day. Week after week. Until one day, you look up at the mirror-- and meet the version of you you've been chasing all along.
12. You already know it's going to take years. You already know it's going to be hard, boring, uncomfortable, and slow. That's not the problem. The problem is that deep down, part of you is still hoping there's a shortcut. But there isn't. There's just the work, the repetition. The silence. The part where no one claps and nothing happens for a while. And the truth is, most people can't handle that part. So they quit. Or they stall. Or they start over again and again just to avoid sitting in it. The time's going to pass either way. So what were you planning to do instead? Scroll? Tweak the plan for the fifteenth time? Keep talking about your potential without actually doing anything with it? This is the trade. You either suffer now through the process or suffer later with the regret. That's it. Those are your options. One hurts. The other haunts. So no, it won't be fast. And no, it won't be easy. But it will be worth it. If you're willing to pay for it in advance. And besides, did you have other plans?
13. Within my control--- my intentions, the goals I set, how I handle challenges, my boundaries, how I speak to myself, my actions, how I spend my time, my reactions. Out of my control-- the opinion of others, the past, timing, the action of others, the future, outcomes.
14. You can recreate your life again. You can tell a new story, shift into a positive mindset, manifest what you want, live out the life of your dreams, do what you love, and genuinely be happy with yourself. Anything is possible for you, YOU create your reality.
15. No one is perfect, not me, not you, not them. If you want to live a peaceful life, accept yourself for who you are and respect others for who they are.
16. When you don't know where to start, start with your day. Feeling good one day at a time is a massive guiding force.
17. Don't wait for great things to come your way, instead, do whatever comes to you in a great way. Life doesn't judge you for what you do, but rewards you for how you do it. 
18. Post selfies for YOU. Get in shape for YOU. Work hard for YOU. Learn a new skill for YOU. When you put yourself first, everything changes.
19. Most people overestimate what they can do within a year, and underestimate what they can do in a decade.
20. Be kind. In the end, that is all that matters. 
21. Make choices that feel good to you. This isn't about what your parents, friends or society wants for you. What do you want, and what feels good to you.
22. Do whatever you can, with as much love and honesty as you can, and when you can't, REST.
23. People may quit on you, but YOU'VE got to get up and make sure you NEVER quit on yourself.
24. A part of the planet nourishes you and our bodies, in turn, one day return to nourish the very same earth that once sustained us.
25. कर्ममा विस्वास गर।  भाग्यमा नगर।  कर्म गर।  सफलता अवस्य प्राप्त गर्नेछौ।  - मामु
