You have to stop ruining things for yourself preemptively because you believe they’ll fail anyway. Give yourself a chance to succeed.

the life you want isn’t going to just fall into your lap. you have to create it as much as you’re going to step into it. you have to make your own path from where you are to where you want to go. it doesn’t exist yet because it is yours alone. others can share their maps to similar journeys, but only you know what’s right for you. you can feel it in your bones. follow it.

An idea triggers a thought

A thought triggers a feeling

A feeling can make you create a plan

A successful plan requires habits

Habits require commitment

Commitment creates a lifestyle

New Lifestyle = CHANGE.

“To try to not be more interesting but be more interested” literally changed my life perspective btw

[stuckinapril]

To do things not for the sake of coming off a certain way or fitting a certain aesthetic or to grab ppl’s attention more …. But to simply do them bc you’re curious and invested and would do them regardless of whether anyone was perceiving you or not …. That is literally the point

[stuckinapril]

I’m genuinely understating how important this lesson has been for me bc we literally live in a world that’s all about aesthetics and branding and how to package urself even if you’re not even an influencer… dating tips that advise you to “focus on yourself” “take on more hobbies to have something to talk about and be interesting” like what if you just did those things bc you want to …. for the whimsy ….. bc we have one life ….. and then the rest just naturally follows . What if being interesting does not presuppose the interest. What if that sabotages it actually . What if the only actual way to be interesting and to evoke something in ppl and to capture their interest is by doing things bc you truly love them and for no other purpose

Honestly I think one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to separate your negative qualities from your identity.

Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” saying “I’ve made a habit of not doing work unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Instead of saying “I’m a bad friend,” saying “I haven’t communicated as much as I should with the people I care about.”

By being specific about your problems, and by framing it as an action that you are consciously either working on or ignoring rather than an unchangeable part of who you are, you allow yourself to accept your mistakes and work constructively on them instead of pretending they didn’t happen or wallowing in blaming yourself.

being in love with the process and not the results is one of the healthiest things in the world

[trainthief]

in this same vein: being proud of yourself for the work and not the product brings so much more happiness

you're getting distracted again. focus.

drink a cup of water, tie your hair up, pull on your comfiest clothes, get your desk clean and ready, print out past papers, set your notes out, turn your laptop on, turn off all distractions, take out your stationary, open your books, take a deep breath, and just start.

She (Rosalind Franklin) had been lured to King’s College with the understanding that she would lead a team studying DNA. Wilkins, who was four years older and already studying DNA, was under the impression that she was coming as a junior colleague who would help him with X-ray diffraction. This resulted in a combustible situation. Within months they were barely speaking to each other.
