#434 You get to choose
What you spend your time on. Who you spend your time with. Who you listen to. What you listen to. Never forget, you get to choose.
#433 Feel it until it fades
You feel excitement. Happiness. Anger. Sadness. But you are not your excitement or happiness. Because if you allow yourself to cling to the emotions you desire, you’ll have not choice but to identify with undesirable ones, like anger and sadness, too. Thus, you feel excitement – until it fades. You feel happiness – until it…
#432 You don’t need to find motivation
You don’t need to find the motivation to start doing the work. It’s more likely you need to start doing the work to find motivation. And if it truly feels impossible to do the work, maybe you just need some rest.
#431 You can do this today.
If you doubt you can come back to a good habit after you miss a day, let me put your mind at ease: you can. Just like you can come back after a week, a month, a year, or a decade. All that counts is today. And you can do this today.
#430 You are not your emotions
Your anger is real. But you are not your anger. Your worries are real. But that doesn’t mean it’s rooted in reality. You aren’t scared. You feel scared. You are not your emotions. Emotions are not your identity.
#429 Use whatever it takes
Willpower. Habit. Discipline. Connection with your purpose. Use whatever it takes to do what you know is important to you.
#428 I can. And so can you.
I write every day, because I can. And so can you. I don’t run every day, even though I could. And so could you. Whether our mind allows us to see it or not, we always can. We always have the time.
#427 You don’t know what’s possible for you.
You don’t know what you can do. You don’t know what’s possible for you. But every day, you get to find out. Isn’t that beautiful
#426 Back again
You’ll end up in the season of distraction. And then you’ll be back again. You’ll end up in the season of rest. And then you’ll be back again. You’ll end up in the season of turmoil. And then you’ll be back again. And the more you go “back again” to a path, the stronger that…
#425 Just one more
One more word. One more practice run. One more yoga session. One more moment of doing what’s important to you. One more moment that brings you closer to who you choose to be. Just one more.
#424 No rush, less haste, more space
Make way for the people, projects, and things you want to stay. Life goes fast enough already without you pressuring it. No rush. Less haste. More space.
#423 Win or lose, you get to choose
How will you interpret what happens today? Win? Lose? You get to choose.
