اشرب قهوتك، واعتنق الصمت، ولا تأخذ الناس على محمل الجد.. لا تأخذ الحياة على عاتقك، ولا تبالغ في عاطفتك، ولا ترضي أحدًا رغمًا عنك.

Drink your coffee, embrace the silence, do not take people seriously, do not take life upon yourself, do not exaggerate your emotions, and do not please anyone against your will.

-Mahmoud Darwish

I move with flow and ease. A wave of abundance washes over my life. I am open to all levels of guidance and prosperity. The Universe supports every step I take.

My wife did some glass etching, so we have a bunch of glasses with this at the bottom.

This was early on in our marriage, these are just the glasses we use every day.

Fast forward to when my son is five years old. He has learned to read. He has graduated from sippy cups.

When I hear him wailing and crying I come running down the stairs, and he's inconsolable. Took a lot of soothing and time to explain to him that it was just a joke. He wanted the glasses destroyed, but as a compromise we retired them from use for a while.

If you want something worthwhile forget the idea of instant. Instant is click bait. Instant is lazy girl. Instant is impatient. Instant is low value. Instant food Instant manifesting Instant date Instant orgasm instant tan Instant abs Instant wealth instant glass skin Instant luck - click bait, unworthy, low value. Scam. Literally most scams feature instant something; instant wealth. Instant car. You've won an iPhone!!!!

Good things take time. If you truly want success in anything be comfortable with the idea of waiting, for long periods, with no visible results. If you're an instant girlie you're on the 47875 instant abs workout this year because you went to the gym seven days in January and there was no abs, and still no abs but Alison has been doing it consistently and now looks like Sophie Richie. The older the wine the finer it is. The older the money the more influence it has. The older the person the more value they bring . Old is gold. Slow is sure, slow is safe, slow is grind. Instant is low quality. Instant is a lie. Instant is a scam.

There is no such thing as instant results, learn patience, learn to believe in the grind. That 'instant' will get you scammed, will get you frustrated and will get you absolutely nowhere.

Something my father taught me is to always make people feel special when they’re in your presence, I think this kind of attention makes people uncomfortable sometimes and they aren’t sure what to do with it and they label it as intensity when nothing was intense, I was just the first person who listened to you in a month and not cut you off with advice or check my phone.
