Don’t strive to be well known. Strive to be worth knowing.
Don’t talk about your plans. Finish them. Sharing goals feels good, but it tricks your brain into thinking you’ve already won. Stay quiet. Do the work. Let your results speak for you.
Don’t trust anyone because people change anytime without any reason.
Don’t trust words. Trust actions.
Don’t worry if it’s hard to believe your mantra at first, as long as it excites you. That excitement reminds you that you’re on the right track. Simply decide to believe it until you actually do.
Don’t you get it? This very second you could be doing something you love and dream about doing. So do it! NOW!
Downsizing is VERY important. Strip your life down to the bare minimums and it gets easier. Realize that if you don’t need to pay for something, you don’t need to work more to pay for it. Figure out how much you want to work, then only spend what that gives you. You don’t have to cancel every subscription you have, but cancel what you don’t really use much. Skip the expensive vehicle and get one half the cost or 1/3rd. Stop wasting all of your money on unnecessary upgrades to everything. Finally start playing video games. Best value anywhere for entertainment and things to do.
Dream your wildest dreams and you will live a wild life.
Dreamers look into the future and see promise. Those who do not dream only see the future. – D. Elder
Don’t forget to imagine the best case scenario, too.
Don’t go broke trying to impress broke people.
Don’t hurt an empathetic person. You will regret what comes next. They will leave you high and dry with your stank ass bullshit alone without them for a very long time, if not for the rest of your life. No they won’t be mad. They will just be done.
Don’t let anyone control you. Take control of yourself. They will abuse the hell out of you if you let them.
Don’t let anyone who hasn’t been in your shoes tell you how to tie your laces.
Don’t let the bad days make you think you have a bad life.
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.
Don’t limit your challenges. Challenge your limits.
Don’t lose track of who you are and what you stand for. Be authentic. Be you. If you want to build something that lasts, it has to be built off of the things you are. Not what you are trying to be.
Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.
Don’t feed every dog you see suffering. Some just need strength to bite you.
Don’t waste food. A good trick to that is to not prepare food that you hate.
Don’t ask me for anything when I’m comfortable and cozy.
Don’t attach yourself to people, projects, companies, or organizations. Attach yourself to goals, callings, missions, and purpose.
Don’t be a vibe kill.
Don’t be weak and show up because you’re lonely. Peace feels better than pretending. I don’t put myself in toxic rooms any more, and I can enjoy my holidays by myself, and still be happy.
Don’t compare your day 1 with someone else’s day 100.
Don’t fall in love with success. Fall in love with the habits that bring success.
Don’t focus on your accomplishments as much as you do continued push for greater success.
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. — Maya Angelou
Do the necessary things for your life and wellbeing.
Do what you HAVE to do until you can do what you WANT to do!! This is a hard concept sometimes, but very important if you’re trying to get ahead.
Do you just need the apartment to live in, or do you need to decorate and furnish the fuck out of it until you can’t walk through it?
Do you know somebody who is always preaching about how he or she did my best? Did they? Really? Or do you think they could have handled a few things a little differently?
Do your best, and trust the process. The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Doing something wrong for an extended period of time gives it the impression of being right.
Doing what is best for you isn’t going to feel good every time.
Don’t be among people that gossip about people, be among people that talk about investment. That’s the right circle where you grow. Investment doesn’t always mean money. It can mean building better habits that can help you, and even others without ever spending a dime. But of course building finances is always good too.
Don’t believe everything you think. Your brain can make you look stupid.
Detachment isn’t cruelty. It is clarity with boundaries. Never feel guilty for setting boundaries away from people who think they control you.
Developing a positive mindset doesn’t make your problems disappear. It’s about better equipping yourself to deal with negative situations and stressors in your life.
Difference of input is difference of output. Often what we put in is what we get out. If you’re looking for better outcomes, be a better person.
Discipline is remembering who you said you wanted to be.
Distance yourself from the people that you don’t want to become.
Do not allow yourself to be manipulated.
Do not study average people if you want rare results. Find the few who win in hard conditions. Copy the behavior, not the image.
Do people drain you? They fucking drain me too!
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Courage is facing your fears. Stupidity is fearing nothing. – Todd Bellemare
Coworkers hate a quiet person that minds their business.
Curate your conversations like your future self depends on it because it does.
Customers can forgive delays. They rarely forgive dishonesty.
Cut back on the generosity for those that don’t appreciate it.
Cutting people out of my life doesn’t mean I hate. It means I respect myself.
Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become.
Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude.
Dear Universe, cancel any ties, contracts, promises, or unspoken bonds that no longer feel healthy or aligned. End connections that feel draining, one-sided, or heavy. I take back my energy from people who ignored my boundaries, used my kindness, or only showed up when it was easy. From this point forward, I give my time, love, and attention only to those who meet me with honesty, respect, and effort.
Degree is just a piece of paper. Real education is seen in behavior.
Concentrated thoughts produce desired results. – Zig Ziglar
Consciously creating and endlessly repeating mantras that are aligned with what you’d like to experience and who you’d like to become is a powerful way to change your life.
Consistency is key. Don’t be afraid to start over.
Consistency is stronger than intensity. The person who writes one page every day will go further than the one who writes fifty pages once. Small actions repeated over time create real change. You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a routine you can maintain.
Consistency is what transforms average into excellence.
Constantly saying yes when you would really love to say no is the most famous boundary problem. It’s the way many people try to win love and acceptance, and it is actually a bad habit that can leave you feeling defeated. If there is something you really don’t want to do, you are not in the wrong for feeling that way. Try to see what compromises, if any, can be made with people. If they can’t compromise on a fair solution, maybe you no longer need them.
Consume and disperse wisdom about the psychology of people. Get on a journey to learn why people act the way they do, and you will start putting blocks on some of the bullshit they think you’re supposed to put up with. Google, Youtube, and books are your best friends.
Control your laziness, and you’ll understand how much success you’ve been avoiding.
Conversations shape direction. What you constantly talk about usually reveals what your future is being built around.
Correct your mistakes before they become your habit.
Cash rules everything around us. The more money you have, the more power you get.
Cause change and lead; accept change and survive; resist change and die. – Ray Norda
Certain people show who they really are when they are confronted with someone who refuses to be controlled or manipulated. Once you figure this out about them, you don’t ever look at them the same. At that point the whole game changes. You also don’t allow them to occupy the same space in your life that they did before if you give a damn about yourself. Self-respect comes first!
Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.
Change. But start slowly, because direction is more important than speed. – Paulo Coelho
Changing your habits and your boundaries takes courage, audacity, and a whole lot of self-love.
Choose happiness! It can be very difficult to find happiness when things aren’t going right, but it’s important to remember that when things go wrong, these are temporary setbacks. Strive to fix your issues, and do not be afraid to ask someone for help. You have got this.
Circle so small that when my phone rings I know its scammers.
Climbing a mountain and building a skyscraper happen step by step and floor by floor, but when you are the one hiking or the one hammering, you don’t really experience much of the progress as it’s happening. You’re in the process of creating it, and much of the ground you gain is fairly invisible to you until you hit an overlook on the trail or finish off a substantial number of floors or stand back when you are done, point at your grand accomplishment, and regale everyone in earshot with endlessly detailed stories about how you did it.
