“The world is nothing but eight fucking billion perceptions, each one trying to prove that mine is better than yours. It is not.”
- Everyone’s view is valid, and no one’s perception is inherently superior.
- Life is about accepting different perspectives, not proving one right over another.
- Constantly trying to be “right” just breeds tension. What matters is understanding, not competition.
- Each person is living their own unique version of reality. There is no universal truth.
- When we stop competing to be “right,” real connections and growth can happen.
“Change is inevitable. Whether I do something about it or not, things are going to change outside of me and inside of me.”
- Fighting change is pointless—it’s going to happen whether we like it or not.
- Internal growth happens naturally, just like external changes, whether or not we push for it.
- Life is always in motion. The more you resist change, the harder it becomes.
- While you can’t stop change, you do get to choose how you respond to it.
- Change may feel unsettling, but it’s often where the most growth happens.
“We need to spend 2% of our day—just 28 minutes—connecting with ourselves. Sit with your thoughts. It may be uncomfortable at first, but something will emerge.”
- Carve out time daily to reconnect with yourself—just 28 minutes can shift everything.
- Sitting with your thoughts can feel awkward, but that’s where Clarity begins.
- 28 minutes may seem small, but over time, it compounds into deeper self-awareness.
- When we create space for stillness, answers and insights naturally bubble to the surface.
- Consistently making time for reflection helps you tune into your authentic self.
