You don’t need permission, signs, or labels to treat people the way you want to be treated.
How you react to anything is up to you. If you want the world to be a better place, start by figuring out how you can make it better—then worry about others.
This concept applies to everything.
The energy you put into the world will match what you receive in return.
I didn’t fully realize this until 2022. At first, I didn’t believe it. I thought people who lived by this idea were just ignoring reality. But after years of practicing it, I know it’s true.
Don’t be miserable. Don’t blame others. Find what you can control and be a total badass at it. See the future you want—right now. Whatever it is, you can have it. But it starts with your mindset.
When things don’t go your way, pause. Ask yourself: What is the universe teaching me?
If you want to, you can do this.
It helped me—maybe it will help you too.
