    This is a good reminder whenever we feel defeated by negative thoughts. To just F*ck it and move forward and give your best. So that whatever result it will be, there will be no regrets because you know that you gave it all.
    Keep fighting for that dream everyone!

    Five principles to overcome the inner coward, based on Meditations by Marcus Aurelius:
    1. Look for solutions, not people to blame
    2. Don't second guess yourself
    3. Find the beauty in your mistakes
    4. Humble yourself
    5. Do your best, and trust that things will workout the way they're meant to (carry your faith and it'll carry you)

    Every mistake is a lesson waiting to be discovered and every lesson you learne only makes your soul beautiful
    Ignorance = pain = lesson = gain = better
    If anyone can refute me - show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective - I'll gladly change. It's the truth I'm after and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self deceit and ignorance
    Ignorance = pain = lesson = gain = better
    Do your best and trust that all is for the best

    When a person tries to free themselves from an addiction, they are forced to battle with the conditioning of the past.
    The way through the battle is from articulation and reflection.
    Nobody quits an addiction because they simply want to.
    They only quit once their mind is READY.
    How to make the mind ready?
    It's so much more beautiful and simple than you could ever imagine.

      You need to find out what you hate and then move to change it. There you find the battle and the journey.

    I'd say one of the biggest things, is NOT LYING to yourself. It's hard to take that step back, but your step forward needs to reflect and be informed by your moment of clarity. Don't BLiNDLY be stubborn.... but ensure your decision isn't based on anything but genuine reflection..... congrats! you're now the TRUE 1%! Everyone else gets to live a true nightmare, we get to do something about it. :). .... It's soo soo hard to be yourself.

    Make your opponent, in a calm but superior manner, understand that his bad behaviour stems from his fear of becoming great again and how to do just that. This way you confront him and at the same time give him perspective on how to improve his own life. This makes it impossible for him (or her) to become violent towards you as you are not playing his game. Courage then just becomes a side product that stems from your compassion with all people. In other words: Kill 'em with kindness.

You can reduce it to, what do I have to do right now. If your energy does not allow you to get up and do it. Well there you go. It's like athletics, some people are really good and there are some that can't hit a lick. Try not to get down on yourself and move forward the best way you can.

    I MUST make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

    I agree with the first point, "don't look for people to blame" in principle. Yes, MLK rightly didn't blame all White people for the hatred levied at Black people. That's true. But to say that they aren't responsible for their hate is where I differ in opinion. I have a slightly different take. My mantra to myself when I start overthinking or looking for someone to blame is to worry about myself. See, we agree in that worrying about what other people do, think, feel is not our burden to bear. If everyone worried about themselves, including those with hate in their hearts, we would accept responsibility (in theory) and try to change. I think that's a better way to look at it. At least for me.

Shultz is an unenlightened greedy CEO and represents all that is evil and wrong with this world. Shultz tale isn't one of courage but rather psychopathic callus and complete disregard for the working-class and the poor. He worships profits of lives.

    Unless we can join a legion somewhere and have wartime experiences, I suggest a better path to learn about Faith, Stoic relationships and emotional context is FIRST to expand oneself out of the broken, dried turd language of English. You’ll find in so many better languages that English is not merely broken, and that's sad but, English itself is responsible for the decline of the West and the cultural disquietude of many non-English speaking cultures. You don’t know what you can’t know from inside a room with no windows but, there is a door. I can clearly demonstrate with Spanish in my free lexicon, and I have no product to sell, how Faith is nothing more than fully excepting what is, not what could be. Emotion is a learning tool, not a reaction. In summary, English is worse than wet cat shit on a carpet and responsible for most evil in the world today.
