You have been robbed of some of your capabilities. The mainstream has successfully brainwashed you into believing that your work capacity depends on how motivated you are. Which is certainly not the truth. Discipline > Motivation It has made you believe you should be friends with your partner first only then you can have a good long lasting relationship. This too is false. You just need a polarised relationship with good communication that's it. They keep telling you to live the life you want. But they never tell you to stick to your values and beliefs even if it is hard. Resist the brainwashing happening around you. Don't let them get in your head.

Stop listening to people who tell you your vision is too big. You are only restrained by the shackles you choose to clasp on yourself.

By grabbing your attention while they silently feed information The only escape is to become aware and act consciously. Stop lurking around mindlessly.

Rumi once said, “Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.” Change the inside and the outside will fall into place.

Learn to take care of your own mind. Nourish it, enrich it, refine it, and harvest it. Rather than trying to solve the problems of others, look after your own.

Self-control your emotions, don't force them out. Be more aware of which situation gets which reaction and why.

Anything that gives you a dopamine hit without having to do any work is an enemy.

7 ways you can improve your life with the power of silence: 1) Never defend yourself Epictetus once said: “If anyone tells you that such a person speaks ill of you, don’t make excuses about what is said of you, but answer: He does not know my other faults, else he would not have mentioned only these.” Weak people hide their flaws and show off their strengths, wise people boast about their flaws without showing off their strengths. Don’t be blinded by your own ego. 2) Never complain Marcus Aurelius once said: “Don’t be overheard complaining, not even to yourself” Complaining is the easiest and most useless thing to do. If it’s within your power to change a situation, do so. If it isn’t, change your perspective. The mind gives up and gives in before the body does. Endurance, perseverance and composure are stoic virtues. 3) Show, don’t tell Marcus Aurelius said; “Waste no time arguing how a good man should be. Be one” Success is the result of what you do, not what you say you’ll do. Convince with results, not with words. 4) Respond, don’t react Cato the elder: “The first virtue is to resist the tongue. He approaches nearest to God he who knows how to be silent. A clear indicator of wisdom is how one responds to hostility. Never give anyone the privilege of creating anger in you. Be cool, calm and collected at all times. 5) Choose careful what you speak about Pythagoras said: “Be silent, or let thy words be worth more than silence.” Waste no time indulging in celebrity gossips, backbiting or childish arguments. 6) Sit still To quote Pascal: “All of mans problem arises from his inability to sit in a quiet room alone.” Overindulging in screen activities dulls the mind. Learn to be comfortable in boredom, you don’t always have to be stimulated. 7) Seek truth Naval rightly said: “The closer you are to truth, the more silent you become.” This is because inner silence is the mother of all virtues and self-discoveries. Silence speaks loudest, you just have to learn to listen. Stay Inspired 🥷
