Taking control of my life, starting with what goes past my mouth! She | her | Hijabi 😊 | Muslim | Minimalist | Taoist

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

a lot of your suffering comes from treating your nature like a problem to manage instead of a design to understand

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

— William Faulkner. (via. luciferifilia)

“When a flower doesnt bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

[kovici]

once you deny yourself that craving once, then twice, you’ll find yourself at the end of a week having denied it 50 times.

discipline builds up. don’t give up, don’t give yourself that “one time.” I promise it doesn’t exist and it will snowball.

always remember that food is not a reward, restriction is.

when you want to take a second helping, when you want to eat lunch with everyone else, when you’re alone and want to reach for snacks, when you’re out and want to eat unhealthy fast food - remember this. you’ll never get far unless you start now; start resisting your old habits and making new ones.

work hard for what you want.

take care.

Travel and tell no one. Live a true love story and tell no one. Live happily and tell no one. People ruin beautiful things.
