    I played in a pool tournament tonight. It's a weekly tournament I have previously lost disastrously. yet, tonight, I won 5 games in a row, losing to the winner at last to gain 2nd place... I went in thinking the only one who can beat me is myself... This turned out to be the case, as I know the other guy had the same mind set. But I am proud of myself all the same. 4 weeks into these tournaments, I won 2nd place amongst the best players in town. The difference between tonight and the last 3 weeks, is, I believed I could win tonight. Some may say 2nd place is the first loser, yet I believe 2nd place is the first chance to see potential in myself. Should be noted, this is a Monday night weekly tournament, but all the same, MY name is on the wall this week.... I have spent months trying to show this particular group my worth.... Now they see I am more than words.... MUCH LOVE.... What you believe matters for your reality....

  • @alissar1735

    1) Watch yourself like you are watching a stranger
    Like your emotions, why am I angry etc. understand them from a distance
    We suffer more often in imagination than in reality - misconceptions and overreactions
    2) Accept yourself completely
    The good, bad and ugly - accept your whole self without denial or overfocusing on the negative
    Love the people that fate brought to you with all your heart
    Exercise: write down your own strengths and weaknesses
    Without judgement but as a map to yourself > areas for growth
    Self-acceptance and self-improvement - understanding yourself and having compassion
    Don’t be someone else but the best version of yourself
    3) Challenge yourself continuously
    Start small > step out of comfort zone - like a muscle, rest and exercise
    No great thing is created suddenly - small steps
    Want to be more patient - hold back in conversations
    Want to be more fit - small daily walk
    Exercise: what is a small thing you want to improve
    Celebrate the tiny victories
    Stepping stones for greater achievements
    Every big journey starts with a first step
    4) Compare yourself to who you were yesterday not to others today
    You have power over your mind - not outside events - and you will find strengths by looking at your progress
    Exercise: every night reflect on your day - what did u do better today than yesterday - small things
    Did you eat a healthier meal etc. > journal it and look back at your victories
    It is your unique journey
    5) Take responsibility for yourself
    Your thoughts, actions and life
    You steer your life
    Owning our own journey - this is my path and I am responsible for walking it
    You always choose your response to things
    Look for improvements and changes
    Challenges are opportunities to grow
    6) Choose your influence wisely
    People and situations
    Be cautious of your inputs > like books, social media etc.
    7) Say yes to only what matters
    Our time, energy and attention are the most valuable to us
    Align actions to values > actions in line to what we want to achieve
    Do not fill time with busyness but be aware of how you spend your time >
    Daily activities
    Balance and intentionality
    Quality over quantity
    8) Make others better
    Uplift others
    Positive ripple effect
    Opportunities for kindness everywhere > community improvement
    Small acts of support
    Bonus tip: Daily journalling habit > write down your thoughts and feelings, opportunity to reflect and communicate with yourself

    Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches individuals to focus on what they can control, accept what they cannot change, and find contentment in the present moment. It emphasizes cultivating inner resilience and maintaining a calm, rational mindset in the face of challenges. Many find that practicing stoicism can contribute to a sense of happiness and fulfillment by fostering a positive perspective on life.

    I’m happy with who I am. I sleep at night.I try to lead a clean selfless truthful life ever since I can remember.It is hard with so many temptations, but I avoid temptations except for chocolate and other of my favorite foods. I don’t drink and I eat healthy. Food is my medicine and herbal teas. People think your stupid and like to use you when you don’t follow the crowd. I don’t care what they think but they get annoyed with me and pull their bulling tactics. They try to make me the villain. And try to say I go against authorities. That is not the case. I went to Catholic school and was educated very good and how to avoid bad decisions and how to have humility and how-to love yourself the right way. And how to love sincerely and be kind. The real world is more unkind then good.But it makes no impression on me. I prefer the good life clean and clear headed. Maybe someday my rewards will come. I’m still waiting. But I’m at peace with myself. Most people do not understand me they think I’m stupid. ❤ I think I love myself the right way ❤And I accept myself of who I am.

    Some of the quotes that really got me. Truly amazing video.
    Imagine you are watching a movie where you are the main character how would you critique the actions and choices of this character
    This shift in perspective allows you to see yourself more objectively helping you identify habits and reactions that might not align with who you want to be
    When you look in the mirror you sometimes only focus on the flaws it’s easy to do that with our personalities too fixating on our mistakes or the parts of us that we don’t like this constant self criticism creates an inner narrative that’s far from kind -made me tear up
    Self acceptance means empowering yourself to evolve from a place of understanding and compassions
    Compare yourself to who you were yesterday
    The only fair comparison is the person you were yesterday
    Recognize that each day brings you to the person you aspire to be
    Start by identifying areas of your life where you’ve been placing blame elsewhere it might be in your relationships or your personal goals
    Now ask yourself how can I take more responsibility in these areas
    It’s about recognizing your power to change things-Story of my life blaming others
    If a project at work isn’t going well instead of blaming the team consider what you can do differently to improve the situation
    The sense of control and self respect that you gain by taking responsibility for your life is profound and transformative
    Choose what we allow to influence us-taking responsibility
    Intentionally cultivating an environment that supports your journey
    Living truly means making choices that resonate with who we are and what we want to achieve not just filling our time with busyness -amazing
