Even for the most resolute individuals, failure is always a possibility. But there is a huge difference between letting a setback mark the end of your journey and pushing forward – despite defeats – equipped with the knowledge you learned from the experience.
Not everything we do on our journey gets us the results we want, but setbacks only lead to long-term failure if we stop putting in the effort to make progress.
What we learn from failure & unmet expectations are an integral part of achieving goals.
If you’re not ever willing to challenge what you believe, there’s a good chance that you’re harboring beliefs that no longer serve you. Or at the very least, harboring beliefs that are not a reflection of reality. Especially if you only surround yourself with people who believe the same things you do.
It is far more meaningful to receive a single acknowledgment for making a significant difference in one person’s life than it is to collect thousands of likes for something that will be forgotten in less than a minute.
At the end of your life, no one is going to care how many likes you got. And it’s highly likely that you won’t either.
In social media circles (and beyond), it’s a common tactic for those on one side of an argument to say things with the purpose of provoking anger on the other.
It’s important to recognize that if someone can make you lose your self-control, they control you. Especially if your lack of self-control leads to behavior that can be used against you.
One of the reasons life appears to pass more quickly as we age is because we become engrained in comfort. A lack of novelty in one’s life leads to time passing with little worth remembering.
If you want to slow down the rate at which your life appears to be passing you by, embrace new experiences, set new goals, and challenge yourself.

No single person is going to solve all of the world’s problems, but we can all make a difference by leading by positive example and not resorting to the kind of behavior that perpetuates negativity, increases hate, promotes intolerance & encourages violence.
Insecure people will often go to great lengths to distort how they are perceived so they appear more attractive, more successful, or better at something than they actually are.
