Life Isn't About The Number Of Breaths You Take, Its About The Number Of Moments That Take Your Breath

Life isn't about the number of breaths you take, its about the number of moments that take your breath away.

‘May the petals teach me the art of letting go.’ And may the ocean teach me the art of finding depths I never knew. And may the rain teach me to fall once more, in love. And may the skies teach me to find peace in space and solitude. And may the sun teach me to burn with such a passion, for all that I believe in. And may the earth humble me and remind me of where I came from.

And you must be cautious, because making your life better means adopting a lot of responsibility, and that takes more effort and care than living stupidly in pain and remaining arrogant, deceitful and resentful.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

i will no longer

button myself up

and box myself in

i exist for no one but myself

i belong to myself

i am at peace and present

i am exactly who i want to be

for me. myself.

not what makes everybody else comfortable

i hope i am so comfortable with myself

it makes you more comfortable around me

and if my energy is something you hate

i hope it makes you stay far from me

🍀

here is a reminder for you...

...to try and move on from the mistakes of your past.

yes, you made mistakes and are responsible for the outcome but it in no way means that you need to keep on beating yourself up for the same mistakes again and again, all your life.

what matters most is that you accept your mistakes, apologize for them and learn from them. you know better now and try to avoid making the same errors again and that says a lot about your growth.

keep learning. keep growing. forgive yourself ✨

I will not beg for your attention or your favour. I will not beg for love.

I will love myself. Favour myself. Pay attention to myself.
