You Can’t Live Up To Other People’s Expectations

Do not try to live up to other people’s expectations. It won’t work. It is better to live up to your own expectations. Dream big. Set achievable goals for yourself.

If you want to win, know who you are.

Knowing yourself is more than just knowing what you like. Knowing yourself is not about what you like. It is about your value. It is about your own integrity. It is about your outlook on life. It is about how you treat yourself.

If you want to live a peaceful life, do not live to please other people. Do not try to live up to other people’s expectations. It is not what you are here to do. You can use your energy to make your life better, to love yourself, to treat others with love and respect. You can use your energy to discover who you really are.

Remember that self-discovery is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself.

You Are Free When…

As Maya Angelou once said, “You are only free when you realize you belong no place- you belong every place- no place at all.”

Freedom is not just about physical freedom. Freedom is ALL about mental freedom.

You are free when you are mentally free. You are free when you have the space to live your own life, when you have the room to expand, to grow, to become who you were created to be, to just be you. That is freedom.

“Freedom is the ability to set your schedule, to decide on the work you do, to make decisions.”Seth Godin

Freedon is not about moving around aimlessly, not thinking about anything. Freedom is responsibility. When you are free, you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your thoughts. You are responsible for your actions.

And to be really free, you must focus on your mental freedom, not only on your physical freedom. As I said before, you are free when you are mentally free.

“Freedom: it comes when you are mentally free not physically.”

Are you mentally free?
